Foreword 

This  work  had  its  inception  in  1918  in  the  mind  of  Frank  D.  DuSouchet, 
who  for  several  years  had1  been  engaged  in  gathering  for  the  Society  of 
Medical  History  of  Chicago  information  concerning  physicians  and  surgeons 
of  the  past  who  had  made  medical  history  in  this  city.  It  was  the  plan  of 
Mr.  DuSouchet  to  publish  biographies  of  these  men  and  women  under  the 
sponsorship  of  the  Society  of  Medical  History.  His  painstaking  and  con- 
scientious efforts,  which  were  exhaustive,  were  nearing  completion  when  ill- 
ness prevented  further  progress  by  him. 

The  present  publishers,  learning  that  Mr.  DuSouchet's  plan  awaited  reali- 
zation, determined  to  carry  it  into  effect.  Enlarging  the  scope  of  the  work 
considerably  to  include  biographies  of  a  greater  number  of  deceased  physi- 
cians and  surgeons,  and  adding  thereto  the  histories  of  medical  colleges, 
hospitals  and  medical  societies,  and  biographical  data  concerning  present- 
day  physicians  and  surgeons,  the  publishers  obtained  endorsements  of  the 
plan  from  representative  members  of  the  profession. 

Subsequently  the  stamp  of  approval  of  the  council  of  the  Chicago  Medical 
Society  was  placed  upon  the  plan  with  its  official  endorsement.  At  the  re- 
quest of  the  publishers,  a  committee  was  appointed  to  supervise  the  publi- 
cation of  the  work. 

This  committee  comprised  Dr.  George  H.  Weaver,  who  for  many  years 
has  taken  a  keen  interest  in  local  medical  history,  and  Dr.  Hugh  N.  Mac- 
Kechnie,  then  secretary  and  now  president  of  the  Chicago  Medical  Society. 
To  these  men  the  publishers  wish  to  express  lasting  gratitude  for  their 
unfailing  kindness,  their  helpful  suggestions  and  constant  encouragement. 

In  the  preparation  of  manuscript,  no  small  thanks  must  be  accorded  several 
physicians  who  not  only  have  aided  by  contribution  of  valuable  suggestion 
and  information  obtainable  only  through  personal  channels,  but  who  have 
given  of  their  own  time  and  effort  in  the  writing  of  institutional  history  and 
personal  annals.  Among  these  contributors  are  Doctors  Frank  Billings, 
William  E.  Quine,  Otto  L.  Schmidt,  Arthur  R.  Elliott,  David  W.  Graham, 
Arthur  Dean  Bevan,  John  Edwin  Rhodes,  William  L.  Noble,  Frank  T.  An- 
drews, Lester  E.  Frankenthal  and  Jacques  Holinger. 

To  Dr.  John  S.  Nagel,  president,  and  Dr.  John  R.  Harger,  secretary  of  the 
Chicago  Medical  Society  during  the  period  of  preparation  of  the  work,  the 
publishers  are  deeply  indebted  for  their  helpfulness  in  ways  and  on  occasions 
too  numerous  to  be  related.  To  seven  former  presidents,  Doctors  Ludvig 
Hektoen,  J.  V.  Fowler,  William  Allen  Pusey,  Charles  E.  Humiston,  Charles 
J.  Whalen,  William  A.  Evans  and  Harold  N.  Moyer,  and  a  former  secretary, 
Dr.  Charles  H.  Parkes,  is  due  a  vote  of  thanks  for  similar  service  rendered. 

Various  sources  of  information  have  been  used  in  the  compilation  of  his- 
torical data.  In  some  instances,  where  one  or  a  few  sources  have  been  con- 
sulted, references  are  given  in  foot-notes.  In  the  majority  of  cases,  however, 
where  references  consulted  have  been  too  numerous  to  mention,  the  source  of 
information  is  omitted.  It  should  also  be  noted  that  in  many  instances  ex- 
cerpts were  made  from  other  reference  works  without  enclosing  them  in  quo- 
tation marks. 

7 


Among  the  works  chiefly  consulted  which  are  not  mentioned  elsewhere 
are  "American  Medical  Biographies,"  edited  by  Doctors  Howard  A.  Kelly 
and  Walter  L.  Burrage ;  Andreas'  History  of  Chicago;  "A  Group  of  Dis- 
tinguished Physicians  and  Surgeons  of  Chicago,"  compiled  by  F.  M.  Sperry; 
"Physicians  and  Surgeons  of  the  West,"  edited  by  H.  G.  Cutler;  and  "His- 
tory of  Homeopathy,"  edited  by  Dr.  William  Harvey  King. 

The  biographies  of  a  majority  of  deceased  physicians  and  surgeons  are 
substantially  as  prepared  by  Mr.  DuSouchet  and  are  founded  on  information 
obtained  by  him. 

It  will  be  noted  that  the  manner  of  presenting  the  biographies  of  physi- 
cians and  surgeons  of  the  past  differs  from  the  usual,  or  formal,  style  of 
biography,  especially  in  the  "leads"  to  the  articles.  Instead  of  always  giving 
the  place  and  date  of  birth  in  the  initial  paragraph,  followed  by  a  record  of 
the  life  in  chronological  order,  an  attempt  has  been  made  to  call  to  the 
reader's  attention  at  the  outset  the  outstanding  features  in  each  career  and 
to  limit  the  record  of  the  life  to  actual  facts.  It  is  hoped  that  this  change 
will  not  be  unwelcome. 

The  arrangement  of  the  historical  sections  is  in  chronological  order.  The 
biographies  of  physicians  and  surgeons,  following  those  of  the  surgeons  of 
Fort  Dearborn,  which  appear  in  the  order  of  their  service,  are  arranged  ac- 
cording to  the  dates  of  birth.  The  histories  of  medical  colleges,  hospitals 
and  medical  societies  are  printed,  in  their  respective  sections,  in  the  order 
of  their  organization. 

The  photographic  reproductions  of  pioneer  physicians  were  made  from 
negatives  furnished  by  Mr.  DuSouchet.  It  will  be  noted  that,  of  172  men 
and  women  whose  biographies  appear,  only  seven  fail  of  photographic  repre- 
sentation. Exhaustive  search  and  inquiry  failed  to  reveal  any  likenesses  of 
these  seven  in  existence. 

The  burden  of  editorial  responsibility  in  the  production  of  this  volume, 
as  well  as  preparation  of  much  of  the  manuscript,  has  been  borne  by  Car- 
ter Lucas,  known  to  the  newspaper  world  of  Chicago  during  the  past  sev- 
eral years  both  in  an  editorial  and  reportorial  capacity.  Authorship  of  the 
bulk  of  the  material  in  narrative  form  is  to  be  credited  to  James  C.  Russell, 
also  known  in  the  newspaper  editorial  world. 

This  work  would  not  have  succeeded  had  not  its  plan,  which  provided 
hitherto  lacking  financial  means  of  publication,  been  adequately  presented 
to  the  membership  of  the  Chicago  Medical  Society  which  has  sponsored  and 
supported  it.  In  this  endeavor  generous  assistance  was  rendered  by  the 
officers  of  the  society  and  of  the  branches  and  members  of  the  council,  who, 
with  few  exceptions,  realized  the  value  of  such  an  historical  record  and  the 
uniqueness  of  its  character,  and  did  their  utmost  wholeheartedly  to  help. 
To  them  the  publishers  are  deeply  grateful. 

In  conclusion,  the  publishers  wish  to  express  their  appreciation  to  the 
individual  members  of  the  Chicago  Medical  Society  herein  represented  who, 
when  the  project  was  presented  to  them,  accepted  it  in  the  spirit  in  which  it 
was  offered  and  at  its  intended  worth  and  gave  needed  material  cooperation 
by  their  subscriptions,  and  who  gave  just  as  needful  moral  assistance  by 
kindly  commendation  to  their  fellow  members.  To  them  is  this  work  dedi- 
cated, and  offered  herewith  to  their  judgment.

IN  PRAISE  OF  THE  PROFESSION 
BY  ROBERT  Louis  STEVENSON 

There  are  men  and  classes  of  men  that  stand 
above  the  common  herd:  the  soldier,  the  sailor, 
and  the  shepherd  not  unfrequently ;  the  artist 
rarely;  rarelier  still,  the  clergyman;  the  phys- 
ician almost  as  a  rule.  He  is  the  flower  (such  as 
it  is  )  of  our  civilisation;  and  when  that  stage  of 
man  is  done  with,  and  only  remembered  to  be 
marvelled  at  in  history,  he  will  be  thought  to  have 
shared  as  little  as  any  in  the  defects  of  the 
period,  and  most  notably  exhibited  the  virtues  of 
the  race.  Generosity  he  has,  such  as  is  possible 
to  those  whoi  practise  an  art,  never  to  those  who 
drive  a  trade;  discretion,  tested  by  a  hundred 
secrets;  tact,  tried  in  a  thousand  embarrassments; 
and  what  are  more  important,  Heraclean  cheer- 
fulness and  courage.  So  it  is  that  he  brings  air 
and  cheer  into  the  sick-room,  and  often  enough, 
though  not  so  often  as  he  wishes,  brings  healing.

Physicians  and  Surgeons 
of  the  Past 


An  effort  has  been  made  to  include  in  this 
historical  group  those  who  have  performed  some 
real  service  to  medicine  in  a  larger  sense. 

Among  these  are  found  the  organizers  and 
supporters  of  medical  societies;  founders  and 
friends  of  hospitals  and  other  institutions  for 
the  care  of  the  sick,  unfortunate  and  aged;  and 
leaders  in  public  health  activities. 

There  are  also  those  who  have  exerted  their 
influence  in  a  wide  way  as  medical  teachers  and 
authors,  and  as  advocates  of  improved  methods 
and  standards  in  medical  education.  Many  of 
these  by  original  investigation  have  advanced 
the  borders  of  medical  knowledge  and  practice. 
Among  them  are  stars  of  the  first  magnitude 
whose  light  has  reached  the  farthest  corner  of 
the  earth,  while  others  have  only  illuminated 
their  local  region. 

Available  space  has  necessitated  the  omission 
of  some  who  might  have  been  included  in  a 
larger  list,  and  who  perhaps  in  some  instances 
were  more  worthy  of  inclusion  than  some  of 
these  here  selected. 


HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO  13 

WILLIAM    C.    SMITH 
First  Surgeon  of  Fort  Dearborn 

The  pioneer  among  physicians  and  surgeons  of  Chicago  was  Dr.  William 
C.  Smith,  the  first  surgeon  of  Fort  Dearborn.  Little  is  known  of  the  life  of 
this  pioneer,  there  being  no  definite  information  as  to  his  birth  or  death. 

United  States  army  records  show  that  Dr.  Smith  enlisted  as  surgeon's 
mate  July  2,  1802,  and  served  until  June  27,  1810,  when  he  was  mustered  out. 
It  is  believed  that  he  accompanied  the  troops  of  Captain  John  Whistler,  led 
by  Lieutenant  James  S.  Swearingen,  on  the  overland  march  from  Detroit  to 
the  Chicago  River  in  the  summer  of  1803,  and  aided  Captain  Whistler  in 
building  and  establishing  Fort  Dearborn,  that  outpost  of  civilization.  Nine- 
teen days  of  actual  marching  were  consumed  in  the  journey  through  the 
wilderness  of  Michigan  and  along  the  sand  dunes  bordering  Lake  Michigan. 

At  Fort  Dearborn  Dr.  Smith,  in  common  with  the  sixty-eight  other  mem- 
bers of  the  garrison,  endured  the  hardships  of  frontier  life,  and,  with 
meager  equipment,  fought  the  physical  ills  of  Captain  Whistler's  command. 
Soon  after  their  arrival  the  troops  suffered  greatly  from  "bilious  fevers"  and 
the  young  doctor  was  active  in  restoring  them  to  health. 

In  a  letter  of  December  9,  1803,  to  a  friend  in  Detroit,  recounting  his 
experiences  and  describing  the  condition  of  affairs  at  the  new  post,  Dr.  Smith 
wrote,  "Although  winter  is  at  hand,  the  post  is  not  much  advanced.  Captain 
Whistler  and  the  garrison  are  housed  in  small  temporary  huts." 

The  surgeon,  however,  was  more  fortunately  situated.  With  John  LaLime, 
the  Indian  interpreter  of  the  garrison,  "a  very  decent  man  and  good  com- 
panion," he  rented  for  the  winter  a  cabin  belonging  to  John  Kinzie,  one  of 
the  earliest  white  settlers  at  Chicago.  The  cabin  at  that  time  was  vacant, 
and  Dr.  Smith  and  LaLime  fitted  it  up  in  a  comfortable  manner,  occupying 
it  until  Mr.  Kinzie  came  in  the  spring  of  1804  and  moved  into  it. 

Dr.  Smith  remained  as  surgeon  of  the  garrison  until  1808,  when  he  was 
succeeded  by  Dr.  John  Cooper.  With  this,  our  knowledge  of  him  ceases,  but 
his  name  will  long  be  cherished  as  that  of  the  first  member  of  his  profession 
to  minister  to  the  physical  comfort  and  well-being  of  his  associates  on  the 
banks  of  the  Chicago  River,  the  site  of  a  city  destined  to  rank  as  the  medical 
center  of  the  world. 


JOHN    COOPER 

Second  Surgeon  of  Fort  Dearborn, 

(1786-1863) 

Although  some  accounts  of  Fort  Dearborn  mention  Dr.  John  Cooper  as  the 
first  surgeon  at  that  isolated  station,  research  has  shown  that  he  was  pre- 
ceded there  by  Dr.  William  C.  Smith. 

Dr.  Cooper's  grandfather,  a  British  soldier,  fought  under  Wolfe  at  Quebec 
and  was  near  his  leader  when  he  fell,  mortally  wounded,  at  fhe  moment  of 
victory.  The  grandson  was  born  in  Fishkill,  N.  Y.,  June  6,  1786,  and  was 
but  22  years  old  when  he  appeared  at  Fort  Dearborn  as  surgeon  for  the 
garrison.  He  had  enlisted  as  surgeon's  mate  June  13,  1808,  shortly  after  his 
graduation  from  the  College  of  Physicians  and  Surgeons,  New  York  City. 

Dr.  Cooper  journeyed  to  Chicago  by  way  of  Albany  and  Buffalo,  where 
he  boarded  the  brig  Adams.  Seventeen  days  were  spent  in  making  the  trip 
from  Buffalo  to  his  new  post  on  Lake  Michigan.

HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO  15 

Acquaintance  ripened  into  friendship  between  Dr.  Cooper  and  Captain 
John  Whistler,  commander  of  the  fort,  and  the  latter  obtained  from  the  secre- 
tary of  war  permission  for  the  surgeon  to  "suttle"  for  the  garrison,  that  is, 
to  supply  the  soldiers  with  articles  not  furnished  them  by  the  government. 
This  resulted  in  a  quarrel  with  John  Kinzie  and  Matthew  Irwin,  the  latter's 
position  as  government  factor  carrying  with  it  the  right  to  suttle  at  the  post. 

As  a  result  of  this  quarrel,  Captain  Whistler  was  transferred  to  Detroit  and 
Dr.  Cooper's  privilege  to  suttle  was  withdrawn.  The  atmosphere  at  the 
fort  becoming  uncongenial  to  Dr.  Cooper,  he  resigned  his  commission  April 
1,  1811,  and  returned  home.  Instead  of  beginning  practice  at  Fishkill,  he 
settled  at  Poughkeepsie,  where  he  remained  in  practice  until  his  death  in 
1863. 

From  Dr.  Cooper's  letters  from  Fort  Dearborn  we  have  a  picture  of  life 
at  the  garrison,  where  the  dullness  of  the  isolation  was  lightened  by  fishing, 
hunting  and  athletic  contests  with  the  Indians.  The  surgeon  possessed  two 
good  saddle  horses  and  a  hunting  dog  and  must  have  found  the  surrounding 
country  a  hunter's  paradise.  Upon  his  return  home  he  went  on  horseback 
by  way  of  Detroit,  Fort  Wayne  and  Pittsburgh  and  over  the  mountains  to 
Fishkill  and  Poughkeepsie. 

ISAAC  VANVOORHIS 
Third  Surgeon  of  Fort  Dearborn 
(1790-1812) 

The  first  of  Fort  Dearborn's  surgeons  to  sacrifice  his  life  for  his  country 
was  Dr.  Isaac  VanVoorhis,  who  was  killed  in  the  Indian  massacre  of  August 
15,  1812.  He  was  one  of  the  fifty-three  persons  slain  by  five  hundred  Potta- 
watomies  in  their  attack  upon  the  band  of  ninety-five  men,  women  and  chil- 
dren evacuating  the  fort. 

Dr.  VanVoorhis  was  born  in  Fishkill,  N.  Y.,  February  22,  1790,  being  the 
eldest  son  of  William  Roe  VanVoorhis  and  a  descendant  of  Steven  Corte  of 
Voorheis,  who  emigrated  to  America  from  Holland  in  1660.  He  received 
his  early  education  in  Newburgh,  N.  Y.,  and  was  graduated  from  the  College 
of  Physicians  and  Surgeons,  New  York  City,  in  1808,  being  a  classmate  of 
Dr.  John  Cooper. 

After  Dr.  Cooper  returned  home  from  Fort  Dearborn,  Dr.  VanVoorhis 
applied  for  and  received  the  appointment  to  succeed  him.  He  arrived  at  the 
fort  in  the  spring  of  1811  and  thus  had  been  there  a  little  more  than  a  year 
when  he  met  his  death  at  the  hands  of  the  Indians  at  the  age  of  twenty-two 
years. 

Little  is  known  of  the  surgeon's  life  at  the  fort,  but  he  was  respected  as  a 
young  man  of  great  promise  and  lofty  ideals.  A  prophetic  vision  of  the 
future  greatness  of  Chicago  and  America  is  shown  in  a  letter  written  from 
his  lonely  station  in  October,  1811.  His  words  are  especially  significant  when 
one  considers  that  the  doctor  was  then  but  twenty-one  years  old. 

"In  my  solitary  walks,"  Dr.  VanVoorhis  wrote,  "I  contemplate  what  a 
great  and  powerful  republic  will  yet  arise  in  this  new  world.  _Here,  I  say, 
will  be  the  seat  of  millions  yet  unborn ;  here  the  asylum  of  oppressed  millions 
yet  to  come. 

"How  composedly  would  I  die  could  I  be  resuscitated  at  that  bright  era 
of  American  greatness — an  era  which  I  hope  will  announce  the  tidings  of 
death  to  fell  superstition  and  dread  tyranny." 


16  HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO 

JOHN     GALE 

Fourth  Surgeon  of  Fort  Dearborn 

(?-1830) 

Cited  for  praiseworthy  conduct  at  the  battle  of  Fort  Erie. 

An  officer  of  the  gallant  Twenty-third  Infantry  which,  more  than  a  century 
later,  was  to  emerge  from  the  World  War  one  of  the  most  distinguished 
regiments  in  the  American  Army. 

A  member  of  General  Leavenworth's  punitive  expedition  against  the  Indian 
tribes  on  the  upper  Missouri. 

These  were  some  of  the  highlights  in  the  career  of  Dr.  John  Gale,  fourth 
surgeon  at  Fort  Dearborn.  Dr.  Gale  came  to  the  post  in  1816  as  the  medical 
officer  of  a  detachment  of  two  companies  of  infantry  under  the  command  of 
Captain  Hezekiah  Bradley.  These  elements  had  been  detailed  to  rebuild  and 
regarrison  Fort  Dearborn. 

The  soldiers  removed  the  charred  remains  of  the  old  fort  which  had  been 
burned  at  the  time  of  the  massacre  and  reconstructed  it  on  a  different  plan. 
They  also  gathered  up  the  dead  that  had  lain  unburied  where  they  fell  in 
the  massacre  and  gave  them  decent  sepulchre. 

Dr.  Gale  was  a  member  of  the  garrison  of  Fort  Dearborn  until  1818. 

A  native  of  New  Hampshire,  Dr.  Gale  enlisted  from  that  state  in  the 
War  of  1812.  He  joined  the  Twenty-third  Infantry  as  surgeon's  mate  July 
6,  1812,  and  served  with  that  regiment  throughout  the  war.  The  files  of  the 
Surgeon  General  of  the  Army  contain  the  report  of  Brigadier  General  E.  W. 
Ripley,  Commanding  General,  Second  Brigade,  concerning  the  battle  of  Fort 
Erie,  August  15,  1814.  Therein  that  officer  mentions  in  highest  terms  of 
appreciation  the  skillfulness  of  Dr.  Gale  and  others  who  had  come  under  his 
observation.  At  the  close  of  the  war  Dr.  Gale  was  mustered  out  June  15, 
1815. 

As  surgeon's  mate  of  the  Third  Infantry  Dr.  Gale  re-enlisted  on  September 
13,  1815,  and  on  April  18,  1818,  he  was  promoted  to  the  rank  of  surgeon.  He 
was  advanced  to  the  grade  of  major  surgeon  on  June  1,  1821.  Dr.  Gale  was 
on  station  at  Fort  Atkinson,  111.,  from  January  1,  1826,  to  April  1,  1827.  He 
was  next  assigned  to  Jefferson  Barracks,  where  he  was  on  duty  from  June  3, 
1827,  until  June  25,  1828.  Then  the  major  surgeon  proceeded  to  Fort  Leaven- 
worth,  where  he  was  until  May,  1829. 

Dr.  Gale  accompanied  General  Leavenworth's  expeditionary  force  of 
twelve  companies  which  had  been  sent  from  Fort  Leavenworth  to  chastise 
refractory  Indians  on  the  upper  Missouri.  The  records  of  the  surgeon  gen- 
eral's office  show  that  in  June,  1830,  he  was  a  member  of  a  commission  to

Surgeon  Major  Gale  died  at  Fort  Armstrong,  111.,  July  27,  1830. 

J.    PONTE    COULANT     McMAHON 
Fifth  Surgeon  of  Fort  Dearborn 
(?      -1837) 

Successor  of  Surgeon  Major  Gale  at  Fort  Dearborn  was  Dr.  J.  Ponte 
Coulant  McMahon,  who  became  a  member  of  the  garrison  in  1818.  On  ac- 
count of  ill  health,  he  ended  his  service  there  in  1820. 


HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO  17 

Dr.  McMahon  was  born  in  the  District  of  Columbia,  where  he  enlisted 
November  21,  1817,  as  a  surgeon's  mate  of  the  Third  Infantry.  He  was 
promoted  to  the  grade  of  post  surgeon  July  23,  1819,  and  passed  through 
successive  ranks  to  a  surgeon's  rating  August  5,  1826.  The  records  indicate 
that  Dr.  McMahon  was  on  station  in  New  Orleans  in  1825.  Two  years  later 
found  him  at  Fort  Snelling  and  in  1829  he  had  again  returned  to  New  Orleans. 
To  Tampa  Bay  he  went  in  June,  1830,  reporting  to  the  surgeon  general  that 
earlier  arrival  was  prevented  by  sickness. 

Dr.  McMahon  resigned  from  the  army  October  30,  1834,  and  died  in  April, 
1837. 


WILLIAM     S.     MADISON 
Sixth  Surgeon  of  Fort  Dearborn 
(?       -1821) 

Hero  of  Indian  wars  was  Dr.  William  S.  Madison,  sixth  surgeon  of  Fort 
Dearborn.  Dr.  Madison  succeeded  Dr.  McMahon  at  Fort  Dearborn  in  1820 
and  remained  there  until  1821. 

Born  in  Kentucky,  he  enlisted  on  "The  Dark  and  Bloody  Ground"  as  a 
surgeon's  mate  of  the  Seventeenth  Infantry,  December  2,  1812.  He  was 
transferred  to  the  First  Infantry,  May  17,  1815.  Dr.  Madison  resigned 
November  1,  1815,  after  the  close  of  the  war. 

Re-enlisting,  he  was  promoted  to  the  grade  of  surgeon  major  October  5, 
1816.  He  was  assigned  to  the  Third  Infantry  October  5,  1816.  While  with 
this  regiment,  during  its  operations  against  the  hostile  Chippewas,  he  was 
killed  May  14,  1821. 


THOMAS     P.     HALL 
Seventh  Surgeon  of  Fort  Dearborn 
(?-1825) 

Authority  on  Indian  tribes  was  Dr.  Thomas  P.  Hall,  seventh  surgeon  at 
Fort  Dearborn. 

Dr.  Hall  was  born  in  Maryland  and  was  appointed  from  that  state  as  major 
surgeon.  He  was  assigned  to  the  Thirty-sixth  Infantry  July  10,  1813.  He 
was  honorably  discharged  June  15,  1815. 

As  post  surgeon,  Dr.  Hall  rejoined  the  army  December  12,  1820.  He  was 
assigned  to  succeed  Dr.  Madison  at  Fort  Dearborn  in  1821,  and  remained 
there  until  the  garrison  was  withdrawn  in  1823.  The  next  year  he  was  on 
station  in  New  York  harbor. 

Dr.  Hall  was  the  author  of  a  valuable  monograph  concerning  the  Indian 
tribes. 

He  died  at  the  United  States  Arsenal  near  Augusta,  Ga.,  on  September  21, 
1825. 

CLEMENT     ALEXANDER     FINLEY 

Eighth  Surgeon  of  Fort  Dearborn 

(1797-1879) 

In  his  later  years  Surgeon  General  of  the  United  States  Army,  Dr.  Clement 
Alexander  Finley  served  a  part  of  his  novitiate  in  military  medical  training 
at  Fort  Dearborn,  where  he  was  the  eighth  surgeon. 


18  HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO 

A  son  of  Samuel  Finley,  a  soldier  of  the  Virginia  Cavalry  in  the  Revolu- 
tionary War  and  an  intimate  friend  of  George  Washington,  Dr.  Finley  was 
born  in  Newville,  Cumberland  County,  Pa.,  May  11,  1797.  After  a  classical 
education  at  Washington  College,  Pa.,  he  studied  medicine  in  Chillicothe, 
Ohio,  and  was  graduated  from  the  University  of  Pennsylvania  in  1818. 

In  that  year  he  entered  the  United  States  army  as  surgeon's  mate  of  the 
First  Infantry,  then  stationed  at  Baton  Rouge,  La.,  and  was  promoted  to 
assistant  surgeon  June  1,  1821.  In  1828  Indian  affairs  became  threatening 
in  Illinois  and  in  an  order  of  August  19,  1828,  two  companies  of  the  Fifth 
Infantry  were  sent  to  regarrison  Fort  Dearborn,  which  had  lain  unoccupied 
since  1823.  They  arrived  at  Fort  Dearborn  October  3,  1828,  and  from  that 
time  until  December  14,  1830,  Dr.  Finley  served  as  surgeon  of  the  garrison. 

July  13,  1832,  Dr.  Finley  was  promoted  to  surgeon,  with  the  rank  of  major. 
In  the  same  year  he  married  Miss  Elizabeth  Moore,  daughter  of  Dr.  Samuel 
Moore,  then  director  of  the  United  States  mint. 

After  extensive  service  in  the  Black  Hawk,  Seminole  and  Mexican  wars, 
Dr.  Finley  in  1861  became  Surgeon  General  of  the  army.  In  1862  he  was 
retired  from  active  service  at  his  own  request,  after  having  served  his  country 
forty-four  years  in  the  medical  department  of  the  army. 

The  commission  of  Brevet  Brigadier  General  was  awarded  Dr.  Finley  by 
President  Lincoln  March  13,  1865,  for  long  and  faithful  service,  and  July  10, 
1876,  Congress  granted  him  the  pay  of  a  retired  Brigadier  General.  He  died 
in  Philadelphia,  September  8,  1879. 

ELIJAH     DEWEY     HARMON 
Ninth  Surgeon  of  Fort  Dearborn 
(1782-1869) 

Known  to  the  profession  as  the  Father  of  Medicine  in  Chicago,  Dr.  Elijah 
Dewey  Harmon  also  was  noted  for  having  performed  the  first  major  opera- 
tion in  the  city's  history.  This  outstanding  event  took  place  in  the  winter 
of  1832. 

A  half-breed  Canadian  had  frozen  his  feet  in  bringing  mail  on  horseback 
from  Green  Bay,  Wis.,  to  Chicago.  With  a  scant  stock  of  instruments  and 
without  the  use  of  an  anaesthetic,  Dr.  Harmon  unaided  amputated  one  foot 
and  a  part  of  the  other  of  the  mail  carrier. 

The  respect  in  which  Dr.  Harmon  was  held  in  the  community  was  shown 
when  Harmon  Court  (now  East  Eleventh  Street)  was  named  in  his  honor. 
It  was  in  a  residence  at  the  southwest  corner  of  Michigan  Avenue  and  Har- 
mon Court  that  the  doctor  spent  the  later  years  of  his  life. 

The  ninth  surgeon  of  Fort  Dearborn  was  born  in  Bennington,  Vt.,  August 
20.  1782,  being  the  eldest  son  of  Ezekiel  Harmon  and  a  descendant  of  John 
Harmon,  who  came  to  America  in  1636.  Dr.  Harmon  studied  medicine  with 
Dr.  Benjamin  Swift  of  Manchester,  Vt.,  and  began  the  practice  of  his  pro- 
fession in  Burlington,  Vt,  in  1806.  There  he  remained  until  1812,  when  he 
enlisted  in  the  medical  service  of  the  government  and  served  throughout  the 
war.  He  was  assistant  surgeon  on  Commodore  McDonough's  flagship,  Sara- 
toga, in  the  battle  of  Plattsburg  in  1814. 

After  the  war  Dr.  Harmon  resumed  practice  in  Burlington  until  financial 
reverses  in  1829  brought  about  his  removal  west.  In  May,  1830,  he  arrived  in 


HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO  19 

Chicago  and  Dr.  Finley,  the  surgeon  of  the  fort,  being  absent,  Dr.  Harmon 
was  installed  in  his  place.  When  his  family  came  the  next  year  they  brought 
his  medical  library,  unequaled  for  many  years  by  that  of  any  other  physician 
in  Chicago. 

For  two  years  the  life  of  the  surgeon  was  fairly  uneventful.  Then,  on  the 
night  of  July  10,  1832,  General  Winfield  Scott  and  the  remnant  of  his  com- 
mand arrived  at  Chicago  en  route  to  Fort  Armstrong  at  Prairie  DuChien. 
Two  days  previous  to  their  arrival  an  attack  of  Asiatic  cholera  had  broken 
out  among  the  troops  with  great  violence  and  mortality.  The  garrison  of 
the  fort  was  removed  at  once  to  an  isolation  camp  in  the  medical  charge  of 
Dr.  Harmon  and  the  fort  was  turned  into  a  hospital  for  the  newly  arrived 
cholera  stricken  troops.  The  cholera  soon  found  its  way  into  the  isolation 
camp  and  also  into  the  village  of  Chicago,  resulting  in  a  number  of  deaths. 

The  mortality  in  comparison  with  the  number  of  cases  was  so  small  that 
Dr.  Harmon  considered  that  he  was  very  successful  in  his  treatment  of  the 
disease.  He  ascribed  his  success  to  the  fact  that  he  did  not  employ  calomel 
in  the  treatment,  in  contrast  to  another  doctor,  who  in  attending  the  soldiers 
inside  the  fort  treated  all  cases  with  calomel  and  blood-letting. 

In  1833,  with  many  others,  Dr.  Harmon  was  seized  with  the  Texas  land 
fever  and  went  to  that  state,  where  he  acquired  five  or  six  leagues  of  land. 
After  five  years  in  that  sparsely  settled  region,  he  returned  to  Chicago.  The 
Chicago  city  directory  of  1848  lists  him  as  in  partnership  with  Dr.  Brockholst 
McVickar. 

In  person  Dr.  Harmon  was  a  commanding  figure.  Dr.  J.  Nevins  Hyde  in 
his  "Early  Medical  Chicago"  writes  that  "his  face  proclaimed  his  parentage 
and  his  profession." 

His  death  occurred  January  3,  1869,  when  he  was  87  years  old.  He  is  buried 
in  Graceland  cemetery. 


SAMUEL  GRANDIN  JOHNSTON  DE  CAMP 

Tenth  Surgeon  of  Fort  Dearborn 

(1788-1871) 

The  class  of  1808  of  the  College  of  Physicians  and  Surgeons,  New  York 
City,  furnished  three  of  its  members  to  service  at  Fort  Dearborn.  They  were 
Doctors  John  Cooper,  the  second  surgeon;  his  successor,  Isaac  VanVoorhis, 
killed  in  the  Indian  massacre  in  1812,  and  Samuel  Grandin  Johnston  DeCamp, 
the  tenth  surgeon. 

Of  the  forty  years  spent  by  Dr.  DeCamp  in  the  medical  service  of  the 
government,  but  five  months  were  passed  at  the  station  on  Lake  Michigan. 
He  arrived  there  June  17,  1832,  and  remained  until  November  23  following. 

On  the  night  of  July  10,  1832,  came  the  cholera-stricken  troops  of  General 
Winfield  Scott.  Fort  Dearborn  immediately  was  turned  into  a  hospital  in 
charge  of  Dr.  DeCamp,  who,  after  the  scourge  had  subsided,  made  the  official 
report  to  the  government. 

This  shows  that  two  hundred  cases  were  admitted  to  the  hospital  in  the 
course  of  six  or  seven  days,  fifty-eight  of  which  terminated  fatally.  The 
employment  of  calomel  and  blood-letting  in  the  treatment  of  all  cases  proved 
so  efficacious,  according  to  the  report,  that  Dr.  DeCamp  regarded  the  disease 
as  "robbed  of  its  terrors."

Dr.  DeCamp,  a  son  of  John  DeCamp,  was  born  in  Upper  Long-wood,  N.  J., 
in  1788.  The  progenitor  of  the  DeCamp  family  in  America  was  Lawrence 
DeCamp,  a  Huguenot,  who  emigrated  from  Normandy  in  1664. 

Following  his  graduation  from  the  College  of  Physicians  and  Surgeons, 
New  York  City,  in  1808,  Dr.  DeCamp  began  the  practice  of  his  profession  in 
Petersburg,  N.  J.,  in  1809,  in  which  year  he  married  Miss  Nancy  Wood.  He 
served  as  surgeon's  mate  in  the  War  of  1812,  after  which  he  resumed  practice 
in  Petersburg  until  October  10,  1823,  when  he  re-enlisted  as  surgeon's  mate. 

There  followed  service  at  Governor's  Island,  N.  Y.,  in  the  Seminole  war, 
and  at  other  stations  before  the  doctor  was  ordered  to  report  at  Fort  Dear- 
born. In  December,  1833,  came  promotion  to  surgeon  with  the  rank  of 
major. 

Dr.  DeCamp  served  throughout  the  Mexican  war  and  at  several  stations 
prior  to  the  beginning  of  the  Civil  war,  when  he  was  named  medical  director 
of  St.  Louis.  Later  he  was  stationed  at  Watervliet,  N.  Y.,  where  he  resigned 
his  commission  August  27,  1862.  bringing  to  an  end  an  active  medical  career 
of  fifty-four  years. 

His  last  years  were  spent  at  Saratoga  Springs,  N.  Y.,  where  he  died  Sep- 
tember 8,  1871,  at  the  age  of  83  years. 

Thanks  are  due  Mrs.  Maurice  Moore,  of  Lynchburg,  Va.,  a  granddaughter 
of  Dr.  DeCamp,  for  many  facts  concerning  his  career. 

PHILIP     MAXWELL 
Eleventh  Surgeon  of  Fort  Dearborn 
(1799-1859) 

The  eleventh  and  last  surgeon  of  Fort  Dearborn  was  Dr.  Philip  Maxwell, 
who  participated  in  the  final  abandonment  of  the  fort,  December  29,  1836. 
Later  he  became  identified  with  medical  affairs  in  Chicago,  where  he  was  a 
civil  practitioner  and  for  a  time  served  as  city  physician. 

Born  in  Guilford,  Windham  County,  Vt.,  April  3,  1799,  Dr.  Maxwell 
studied  medicine  in  New  York  City  with  a  Dr.  Knott,  but  'was  graduated 
from  one  of  the  medical  universities  of  his  native  state.  Beginning  practice 
in  Sackett's  Harbor,  N.  Y.,  he  relinquished  it  when  elected  a  member  of  the 
state  legislature. 

In  1832  he  was  commissioned  surgeon's  mate  and  was  assigned  to  duty  at 
Green  Bay,  Wis.  There  he  remained  but  a  short  time  before  being  ordered 
to  report  at  Fort  Dearborn.  Arriving  there  April  15,  1833,  he  was  a  witness 
to  the  Indian  treaty  of  September  26  following. 

After  leaving  Fort  Dearborn,  Dr.  Maxwell  was  promoted  to  a  surgeoncy, 
July  7,  1838,  and  later  served  with  General  Zachary  Taylor  at  Baton  Rouge, 
La.,  and  in  the  Seminole  war  in  Florida.  While  engaged  in  this  service,  Dr. 
Maxwell  resigned  his  commission  and  returned  to  Chicago,  where  he  engaged 
in  practice  until  1855. 

During  this  period  he  was  city  physician  in  1845,  served  a  term  in  the  state 
legislature  and  was  a  partner  of  Dr.  Brockholst  McVickar.  His  name  is  men- 
tioned among  the  attendants  at  the  meetings  that  resulted  in  the  organization 
of  the  Chicago  Medical  Society  in  1850. 

While  on  duty  at  Green  Bay,  Dr.  Maxwell  became  so  impressed  with  the 
beauty  of  the  country  surrounding  Lake  Geneva,  Wis.,  that  he  subsequently 
bought  land  there  and  built  a  home,  to  which  he  retired  in  1855.  He  died 
there  November  5,  1859,  aged  60  years. 


22  HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO 

ALEXANDER     WOLCOTT 
First  Resident  Physician  of  Chicago 
(1790-1830) 

Indian  agent,  man  of  affairs  and  the  first  resident  physician  of  Chicago,  Dr. 
Alexander  Wolcott  was  a  dominant  figure  in  the  city's  early  history.  Mem- 
ber of  a  family,  which  throughout  its  history  has  maintained  a  steady  prom- 
inence in  political,  commercial  and  professional  life,  occupying  a  position 
similar  to  that  of  the  Adams  family  in  American  public  life,  the  physician 
carried  on  the  tradition  of  his  race. 

He  left  his  imprint  upon  the  city  in  many  ways,  notably  in  the  naming  of 
the  principal  street  in  his  honor.  In  later  years  this  thoroughfare,  Wolcott 
Street,  became  State  Street. 

The  ancestor  of  the  family  in  America  was  Henry  Wolcott,  who  fled  from 
England  about  1628  to  escape  the  persecution  of  dissenters  by  Charles  I. 
Alexander  Wolcott,  the  father  of  the  physician,  was  a  distinguished  attorney 
in  Connecticut,  who  was  nominated  Justice  of  the  United  States  Supreme 
Court  by  President  Madison,  but  the  Federalists  in  the  Senate  prevented  his 
confirmation  by  seven  votes. 

Alexander  Wolcott,  Jr.,  was  born  in  East  Windsor,  Conn.,  February  14, 
1790,  the  third  of  four  children  of  the  attorney  and  Frances  Burbank,  his  first 
wife.  His  education  was  begun  in  his  native  town  and  was  completed  at 
Yale  in  the  class  of  1809. 

A  near  relative,  Dr.  Christopher  Wolcott,  was  then  practicing  medicine  in 
Windsor,  and  it  was  doubtless  with  him  that  the  young  man  studied  for  the 
next  three  years.  By  that  time  the  clouds  of  war  were  gathering  rapidly  and, 
following  the  bent  of  his  ancestors,  he  offered  his  services  as  surgeon's  mate 
in  the  army.  He  received  the  appointment  March  25,  1812,  and  was  assigned 
to  duty  at  Fort  Columbus,  Governor's  Island,  where  he  served  throughout 
the  war. 

Remaining  in  army  service  until  April  1,  1817,  Dr.  Wolcott  resigned  his 
commission  and  went  to  Boston  with  the  intention  of  practicing  his  profession. 
A  year  later  came  the  tender  by  President  Monroe  of  appointment  as  "Indian 
Agent  to  the  Lakes,"  at  Chicago.  Possibly  the  slow  process  of  building  up 
a  practice,  but  more  likely  the  lure  of  the  boundless  west  caused  him  to 
accept  the  appointment. 

His  nomination  was  confirmed  by  the  Senate  April  18,  1818,  and  the  records 
of  the  war  department  show  that  he  departed  at  once  for  his  post.  Copies  of 
records  of  the  war  department  and  the  Indian  bureau  of  the  department  of  the 
interior  at  Washington,  now  in  possession  of  the  Society  of  Medical  History 
of  Chicago,  show  that  the  histories  of  Chicago  are  in  error  in  giving  the  year 
of  Dr.  Wolcott's  arrival  as  1820. 

Upon  his  arrival,  Dr.  Wolcott  finished  a  house  left  half  completed  by  the 
former  agent  and  occupied  it  for  five  years.  This  dwelling  was  on  the  north 
side  of  the  river,  opposite  Fort  Dearborn,  and  adjoining  the  house  of  John 
Kinzie,  one  of  Chicago's  earliest  white  settlers,  and  later  the  physician's 
father-in-law. 

In  the  year  1818,  which  marked  the  admission  of  Illinois  into  the  Union, 
the  mighty  and  seemingly  boundless  northwest  remained  largely  unexplored. 
In  1819  Lewis  Cass,  territorial  governor  of  Michigan,  was  directed  to  ex- 


HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO  23 

plore  the  upper  lakes  region  and  find  the  source  of  the  Mississippi  River. 
Dr.  Wolcott,  brought  into  close  personal  relations  with  Governor  Cass,  was 
invited  to  accompany  him  as  physician  of  the  expedition. 

The  expedition,  with  Henry  Schoolcraft  as  mineralogist,  set  out  from 
Detroit  in  May,  1820,  but,  owing  to  the  large  size  of  their  boats  and  the 
shallow  water  of  the  upper  Mississippi  River,  it  was  unable  to  proceed  beyond 
a  lake  then  known  as  Cedar  Lake,  but  to  which  Mr.  Schoolcraft  gave  the 
name  of  Cass,  in  honor  of  the  governor. 

In  1832  Dr.  Douglas  Houghton  of  Detroit  accompanied  Mr.  Schoolcraft  on 
a  second  expedition,  which  was  successful  in  locating  the  source  of  the  river, 
which  was  found  to  be  180  miles  north  of  Cass  Lake.  Doctors  Wolcott  and 
Houghton  thus  had  the  honor  of  connecting  the  medical  profession  with  the 
discovery  of  the  source  of  the  Father  of  Waters. 

August  29,  1821,  one  of  the  last  great  Indian  treaties  was  held  at  Chicago. 
Dr.  Wolcott  was  one  of  the  signers  with  Governor  Cass  and  the  United 
States  Indian  Commissioners.  Mr.  Schoolcraft,  who  acted  as  secretary, 
attributed  to  Dr.  Wolcott's  advice  to  Governor  Cass  the  acquirement,  for 
almost  nothing,  of  millions  of  acres  of  Michigan  land. 

On  July  20,  1823,  Dr.  Wolcott  married  Miss  Ellen  Marion  Kinzie,  eldest 
daughter  of  John  and  Eleanor  Kinzie.  Born  in  December,  1804,  she  is  cele- 
brated as  the  first  white  child  born  in  Chicago.  The  same  year  the  garrison 
was  withdrawn  from  Fort  Dearborn  and  the  fort  and  property  were  left  in 
charge  of  Dr.  Wolcott.  Leaving  his  quarters  in  the  agency  house,  he  and 
his  young  bride  took  up  their  residence  in  one  of  the  buildings  inside  the 
fort,  where  they  remained  until  the  fort  was  regarrisoned  in  182S. 

They  then  returned  to  the  agency  house,  where  they  lived  until  the  phy- 
sician's death,  October  26,  1830.  First  buried  near  the  fort,  in  later  years 
his  body  was  removed  to  the  City  Cemetery,  now  Lincoln  Park.  In  1865, 
following  the  death  and  burial  of  John  H.  Kinzie,  brother-in-law  of  Dr. 
Wolcott,  in  Graceland  Cemetery,  the  bodies  of  Dr.  Wolcott  and  his  two 
children  and  those  of  John  and  Eleanor  Kinzie,  were  removed  to  the  same 
plot. 

Standing  beside  the  graves  of  Dr.  Wolcott  and  John  Kinzie,  the  first 
settlers  of  the  future  city,  one  wonders  what  prophecies  may  have  come  to 
them  of  the  Chicago  that  was  to  be.  No  deeply  chiselled  shafts,  but  modest 
headstones,  mark  the  spot  where  lie  their  dust.  To  generations  yet  unborn, 
so  long  as  the  story  of  Chicago  will  be  told,  their  names  will  be  a  part. 

THOMAS     SPENCER 
(1793-1857) 

To  occupy  the  chair  of  the  principles  and  practice  of  medicine,  Dr.  Thomas 
Spencer  in  1849  came  to  Rush  Medical  College  from  the  Geneva  (New  York) 
Medical  College,  which  he  and  Dr.  Morgan  had  organized  in  1834  at  the 
request  of  John  C.  Spencer,  then  Secretary  of  War. 

It  had  been  the  desire  of  Dr.  Daniel  Brainard  to  strengthen  the  personnel 
of  the  teaching  staff  of  Rush  Medical  College  and  two  distinguished  acces- 
sions in  1849  were  Dr.  N.  S.  Davis  and  Dr.  Spencer. 

By  the  smoky  light  of  pine  splinters  Dr.  Spencer  had  laid  the  foundation 
of  an  educational  equipment  that  enabled  him  later  to  take  high  rank  in 
research,  teaching  and  practice^ 


24  HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO 

He  was  born  in  Great  Harrington,  Massachusetts,  October  22,  1793.  His 
family  moved  to  Lenox,  Madison  County,  New  York,  in  1804.  The  hamlet 
contained  only  three  houses  and  adjoined  Canastota,  a  village  of  the  Oneida 
tribe  of  Indians.  It  was  in  a  log  cabin  by  the  blazing  fagots  that  he  obtained 
his  early  schooling.  While  engaged  as  a  surveyor,  he  undertook  the  study 
of  medicine  and  received  a  degree  from  the  Medical  College  of  Fairfield, 
New  York,  in  1820. 

Cholera  having  made  its  first  appearance  on  the  western  continent  in  1832, 
the  epidemic  excited  intense  interest.  At  that  time  Dr.  Spencer  wrote  a  mono- 
graph on  the  disease  which  attracted  wide-spread  notice.  It  contained  many 
valuable  contributions  to  knowledge  of  the  plague  and  became  a  classic. 

Founder  of  Geneva  Medical  College  in  1834,  Dr.  Spencer  remained  in  its 
chair  of  principles  and  practice  of  medicine  for  fifteen  years. 

It  was  at  the  Geneva  School  that  he  delivered  his  celebrated  lectures  on 
"The  Atomic  Theory  of  Light  and  Heat,"  which,  commentators  said,  placed 
him  in  a  class  with  Liebig.  During  his  incumbency  at  Geneva,  Dr.  Spencer 
in  an  interim  pursued  a  course  of  studies  at  Paris  in  1836,  adding  to  his  store 
of  knowledge,  which  made  him  the  leading  physician  in  Central  New  York. 
His  prestige  at  one  time  won  for  him  the  presidency  of  the  New  York  Medical 
Association.  With  the  outbreak  of  the  Mexican  War,  he  was  appointed 
surgeon  of  the  Tenth  New  York  and  New  Jersey  volunteers.  In  the  combat 
operations  of  the  organizations  he  won  the  praise  of  the  quartermaster  gen- 
eral. Henry  Whiting,  for  exceptional  care  of  the  sick  and  wounded. 

After  practicing  a  short  time  in  Syracuse,  Dr.  Spencer  proceeded  to  Mil- 
waukee to  be  near  Rush  Medical  College,  to  which  Dr.  Brainard  had  sum- 
moned him.  During  the  winter  of  1849-50  Dr.  Spencer  delivered  a  series  of 
lectures  from  the  chair  of  the  principles  and  practice  of  medicine.  When, 
on  account  of  ill-health,  he  retired  at  the  end  of  the  term  he  was  made  pro- 
fessor emeritus. 

He  returned  to  Syracuse,  engaging  in  practice  until  1852,  when  he  accepted 
a  professorship  in  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Medicine.  He  was  identified 
with  the  school  until  his  death,  May  30,  1857. 

JOSIAH     COSMORE     GOODHUE 
(1794-1847) 

Physicians  of  the  early  day  in  Chicago  were  as  devoted  to  civic  activities  as 
to  their  profession. 

Not  only  was  Dr.  Josiah  Cosmore  Goodhue  a  leading  practitioner  of  the 
pioneer  time,  but  he  was  a  public  spirited  citizen  of  diverse  interests. 

He  is  particularly  remembered  as  the  founder  of  the  public  school  system 
of  Chicago. 

Son  of  Dr.  Josiah  Goodhue,  president  of  Berkshire  Medical  College,  Dr. 
Josiah  Cosmore  Goodhue  was  born  at  Putney,  Vt.,  in  1794.  He  was  gradu- 
ated from  the  medical  department  of  Yale  University  in  1829.  He  began 
practice  at  St.  Thomas,  Can.,  where  he  remained  until  his  removal  to  Chi- 
cago in  the  fall  of  1832.  With  Dr.  William  Bradshaw  Egan  he  served  on  a 
sanitary  vigilance  committee  in  1837.  Shortly  afterward  he  became  a  partner 
of  Dr.  Daniel  Brainard,  whom  he  assisted  in  procuring  the  charter  for  Rush 
Medical  College,  which  was  granted  by  the  general  assembly  in  1837.  In  the 
act  of  incorporation  Dr.  Goodhue  is  named  as  trustee. 


HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO  25 

When  Chicago  was  organized  as  a  city  in  1837,  the  municipality  was  divided 
into  five  wards.  Dr.  Goodhue  was  elected  a  member  of  the  city  council  from 
the  first  ward.  As  such  he  was  the  first  proponent  of  a  public  school  system 
for  the  city  and  it  was  at  his  instigation  that  the  enabling  ordinance  was 
drawn  by  J.  Young  Scammon. 

Dr.  Goodhue  designed  the  seal  of  the  corporation  of  Chicago. 

In  1838  Dr.  Goodhue  assisted  Dr.  Brainard!  in  the  second  capital  surgical 
operation  in  Chicago.  In  the  same  year  Dr.  Goodhue  bought  land  and  re- 
moved to  the  site  of  the  present  city  of  Rockford,  111.  There  he  aided  in 
founding  the  municipality  which  derived  its  name  from  the  rocky  ford  near 
which  it  was  located. 

In  1846  Dr.  Goodhue  organized  the  Rock  River  Medical  Society,  of  which 
he  became  the  first  president.  The  formation  of  this  society  antedated  that 
of  the  Chicago  and  Illinois  State  Medical  societies  by  four  years.  Dr.  Brainard 
attended  the  meeting  and  became  a  member  of  the  society. 

While  making  a  call  one  night  in  1847  Dr.  Goodhue  fell  into  an  uncovered 
well,  and,  while  still  living  when  rescued,  died  before  the  arrival  of  Dr. 
Brainard  who  had  been  summoned. 

DANIEL     D.     WAITE 
(1795-1869) 

President  of  the  Chicago  Medical  Society  in  1859,  Dr.  Daniel  D.  Waite  was 
a  mainstay  of  that  organization  during  a  precarious  period  in  its  history. 

He  was  born  in  1795.  He  moved  from  Victory,  Cayuga  County,  New  York, 
to  Illinois  in  1840  and  settled  at  Union  Ridge,  which  later  was  known  as  the 
town  of  Jefferson.  For  his  land  he  paid  $1.25  an  acre.  Moving  later  to  St. 
Charles,  Kane  County,  Dr.  Waite,  besides  engaging  in  the  practice  of  medi- 
cine, published  a  newspaper  called  the  St.  Charles  Patriot.  At  St.  Charles  his 
wife,  Lucy  Clapp  Waite,  died  and  he  moved  to  Chicago. 

On  his  arrival  he  found  the  Chicago  Medical  Society  struggling  for  exis- 
tence. Through  his  efforts  the  organization  was  placed  upon  a  sound  basis 
and  it  was  Dr.  N.  S.  Davis,  who  at  the  fiftieth  anniversary  of  the  Chicago 
Medical  Society,  said,  "If  it  were  not  for  Dr.  Waite  we  would  not  now  be 
celebrating  this  semi-centennial,  as  it  was  his  enthusiasm  and  persistent 
effort  that  kept  the  society  alive  when  it  must  otherwise  have  ceased  to 
exist.  When  the  members  had  no  other  place  to  meet  they  assembld  in  Dr. 
Waite's  office." 

Dr.  Waite  was  elected  president  of  the  Chicago  Medical  Society  in  1859. 
He  died  at  Kenwood  ten  years  later,  August  13,  1869. 

IRA     HATCH 
(1800-1879) 

Dr.  Ira  Hatch,  president  of  the  Chicago  Medical  Society  in  1861-62,  was 
1>orn  on  a  farm  near  Alstead,  N.  H.,  November  4,  1800.  He  studied  at  Dart- 
mouth for  two  years  and  was  graduated  from  Union  College.  For  a  year  he 
had  charge  of  the  academy  at  Kingston,  N.  Y.  Returning  to  Alstead,  he 
began  the  study  of  medicine  with  his  brother,  Dr.  Elisha  Hatch.  He  engaged 
in  general  practice  at  Fort  Ann,  N.  Y.,  where  he  remained  for  several  years. 
From  Fort  Ann  Dr.  Hatch  went  to  Union  Village.  N.  Y.,  and  to  Springfield, 
Mass.  He  arrived  in  Chicago  in  1856.  He  was  elected  president  of  the 
Chicago  Medical  Society  for  the  1861-62  term.

DAVID     RUTTER 
(1800-1865) 

One  of  the  founders  of  the  institution  which  subsequently  became  the 
Northwestern  University  Medical  School,  Dr.  David  Rutter  had  come  to 
Chicago  in  1849. 

He  was  born  at  Pine  Forge,  Pennsylvania,  December  23,  1800.  His  father 
and  grandfather  were  iron  masters.  He  studied  medicine  at  the  University 
of  Pennsylvania  and  received  his  degree  in  1823.  In  1824  he  married  Miss 
Isabella  Crawford.  After  her  death  a  decade  later,  he  married  Miss  Esther 
Turner  Ryerson. 

He  practiced  his  profession  in  Montgomery  County,  Pennsylvania,  for  nine 
years.  Proceeding  to  Philadelphia,  he  engaged  in  practice  for  a  brief  period. 
He  arrived  in  Chicago  in  1849.  Ten  years  later  Dr.  Rutter,  with  Doctors 
Hosmer  A.  Johnson,  Ralph  N.  Isham,  Edmund  Andrews  and  others, 
organized  the  medical  department  of  Lind  University,  later  known  as  the 
Chicago  Medical  College  and  finally  as  Northwestern  University  Medical 
School.  Dr.  Rutter  was  a  member  of  the  faculty  until  his  death. 

He  was  a  devoted  adherent  of  Abraham  Lincoln  and  when  the  president 
was  assassinated  he  was  so  deeply  affected  that  he  was  stricken  with  apoplexy 
and  died  April  16,  1865. 

EDMUND     STOUGHTON     KIMBERLY 
(1803-1874) 

Dr.  Edmund  Stoughton  Kimberly  was  one  of  Chicago's  constructive 
pioneers. 

Born  at  Troy,  New  York,  April  7,  1803,  his  earliest  ancestor  in  America  was 
Thomas  Kimberly,  a  member  of  the  first  colony  of  New  Haven,  in  1638.  His 
sturdy  spirit  survived  in  Edmund  Kimberly,  type  of  the  New  Englanders  who 
helped  representatives  of  other  races  to  make  Chicago  great. 

Edmund  Kimberly  was  graduated  from  the  academy  at  Lenox,  Massa- 
chussetts,  in  1819,  and  from  Union  College,  Schenectady,  New  York  in  1822. 
He  next  received  a  degree  from  the  College  of  Physicians  and  Surgeons,  New 
York  City,  and  was  commissioned  surgeon's  mate  by  Governor  Dewitt 
Clinton. 

Dr.  Kimberly  married  Miss  Marie  Theresa  Ellis,  May  16,  1829,  and  in  1832 
they  proceeded  to  Chicago.  A  physician  through  all  his  years  in  this  city, 
he  was  most  active  in  civic  affairs  and  as  a  useful  public  servant.  In  1833,  he 
was  clerk  of  the  election  which  decided  that  the  village  of  Chicago  should 
be  incorporated.  On  August  10,  of  that  year  he  was  elected  one  of  the  board 
of  trustees  which  gave  Chicago  its  first  civil  government.  In  1834,  he  was 
authorized  to  erect  a  Cholera  Hospital. 

Members  of  Dr.  Kimberly's  business  firm,  Peter  Pruyn  and  Co.,  were 
among  the  stockholders  of  the  Chicago  Democrat,  the  first  number  of  which, 
November  26,  1833,  contained  the  ordinance  which  he  had  introduced  at  the 
meeting  of  the  board  of  trustees  fixing  the  boundaries  of  Chicago.

Dr.  Kimberly  in  1837  aided  Dr.  Daniel  Brainard  to  secure  the  charter  for 
Rush  Medical  College,  in  which  the  former  was  named  as  a  trustee.  The 
same  year  under  the  charter  of  the  city,  Dr.  Kimberly  was  elected  city  health 
officer  and  re-elected  until  1841.  In  1844,  he  was  a  leader  in  the  Peoria  State 
Convention  held  to  put  the  public  school  system  of  Illinois  into  effect.  Three 
years  later  he  championed  the  movement  for  township  organization  in  the 
state.  In  1847,  he  was  elected  recorder  of  deeds  for  Cook  County  and  in  1849, 
clerk  of  the  county. 

Dr.  Kimberly  was  a  school  inspector  and  in  1850,  president  of  the  school 
board.  In  1860,  he  removed  to  Lake  County,  where  he  died  October  26,  1874. 

JOHN    TAYLOR    TEMPLE 
(1803-1877) 

A  contract  obtained  through  Martin  Van  Buren  to  carry  mail  from  Chi- 
cago to  Fort  Howard  on  Green  Bay  brought  Dr.  John  Taylor  Temple  to  this 
city  in  1833.  He  was  a  member  of  Chicago's  first  board  of  health  and  was 
a  member  of  the  first  board  of  trustees  of  Rush  Medical  College,  although 
later  becoming  a  convert  to  homeopathy. 

Dr.  Temple  was  born  on  a  plantation  in  King  William  County,  Virginia, 
May  5,  1803.  It  was  near  this  estate  that  the  surrender  of  Yorktown  took 
place.  He  was  graduated  from  Union  College  at  Schenectady,  New  York, 
receiving  the  degree  of  A.  M.  Then  for  three  years  he  studied  medicine  in 
the  office  of  Dr.  George  McClellan  of  Philadelphia. 

He  received  his  medical  degree  from  the  University  of  Maryland  in  1824 
and  soon  afterward  he  married  the  daughter  of  the  Rev.  Mr.  Stoughton  of 
Philadelphia.  Practicing  for  a  time  in  that  city,  he  went  to  Washington, 
where  he  was  employed  in  the  patent  office.  Failing  health  compelled  him 
to  seek  outdoor  work  and  through  the  influence  of  Mr.  Van  Buren,  who  was 
then  a  member  of  Andrew  Jackson's  cabinet,  he  secured  the  contract  to  carry 
mail  from  Chicago  to  Fort  Howard.  Later  he  was  also  awarded  the  Chicago- 
Ottawa-Peoria  route.  He  arrived  in  Chicago  late  in  1833  and  on  January  1, 
1834,  he  began  the  transportation  of  mail,  using  four-horse  coaches  in  a  daily 
service. 

When  Chicago's  first  board  of  health  was  established  in  1835,  Dr.  Temple 
became  a  member.  Soon  afterward  he  organized  the  first  Bible  society  in 
the  town.  In  1836,  with  Dr.  Levi  D.  Boone,  he  excavated  two  sections  of 
the  Illinois  and  Michigan  Canal.  In  1837  when  the  charter  for  Rush  Medical 
College  was  obtained,  Dr.  Temple  was  one  of  the  trustees. 

He  became  a  convert  to  homeopathy  and  in  1842  he  moved  to  Galena  and 
later  to  St.  Louis.  In  1857  he  founded  the  Homeopathic  Medical  College  of 
St.  Louis,  which  became  the  College  of  Physicians  and  Surgeons.  Of  this 
institution  he  was  the  dean. 

He  was  a  member  of  the  American  Institute  of  Homeopathy  and  of  the 
Western  Institute  of  Homeopathy,  of  which  he  was  at  one  time  president. 
He  died  in  St.  Louis,  February  24,  1877. 

ALEXANDER     FISHER 
(1804-1882) 

President  of  the  Chicago  Medical  Society  in  1858-59,  Dr.  Alexander  Fisher 
was  an  active  practitioner  in  Chicago  for  nearly  a  generation. 


30  HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO 

He  was  born  in  Lancaster,  Mass.,  August  12,  1804.  He  received  his  medical 
degree  from  the  College  of  Physicans  and  Surgeons  at  Fairfield,  N.  Y.,  in 
1834.  Beginning  in  1835  he  practiced  medicine  in  Summit  County,  Ohio,  for 
fourteen  years.  Dr.  Fisher  suspended  professional  work  for  a  year  on  account 
of  ill  health.  In  1855  he  removed  to  Chicago,  where  he  continued  to  practice 
until  his  death.  He  devoted  especial  attention  to  surgery  and  among  his 
operations  was  a  ligation  of  the  external  iliac  artery,  a  report  of  which  was 
published  in  the  American  Journal  for  Medical  Science  of  April,  1856. 

After  serving  a  term  as  president  of  the  Chicago  Medical  Society  in  1858-59, 
Dr.  Fisher  was  elected  president  of  the  Society  of  Physicians  and  Surgeons  of 
Chicago. 

Dr.  Fisher  was  a  surgeon  in  the  Union  Army  during  the  Civil  War.  Step- 
daughters of  Dr.  Fisher  married  Bishop  Cheney  and  Dr.  James  Nevins  Hyde 
of  Chicago. 

Dr   Fisher  died  February  15,  1882. 

ORREN     SMITH 
(1806-1867) 

Dr.  Orren  Smith,  president  of  the  Chicago  Medical  Society  in  1860-61,  was 
born  at  Marlow,  Vermont,  July  27,  1806.  In  1830  he  was  graduated  from  the 
medical  department  of  the  University  of  Vermont.  After  practicing  medi- 
cine in  Montpelier  for  twenty  years,  he  was  appointed  professor  of  obstetrics 
and  diseases  of  children  in  the  University  of  Vermont.  He  resigned  this  posi- 
tion in  1857  and  moved  to  Chicago,  becoming  almost  immediately  a  member 
of  the  Chicago  Medical  Society.  Having  contributed  greatly  to  the  restora- 
tion of  harmony  in  that  organization,  he  was  elected  to  the  presidency  in 
1860.  He  died  August  12,  1867. 

AVILLIAM     GODFREY    DYAS 
(1807-1895) 

Dr.  William  Godfrey  Dyas  was  closely  identified  with  the  professional  life 
of  Chicago  from  his  arrival  in  the  city  in  1859  until  his  tragic  death. 

Of  the  fifth  generation  from  Edward  Dyas,  who  fought  under  Cromwell, 
Dr.  Dyas  was  born  in  Dublin,  Ireland,  November  4,  1807.  He  entered  Trinity 
College  in  his  sixteenth  year  and  from  there  was  transferred  to  the  Royal 
College  of  Surgeons,  from  which  he  was  graduated  in  1830. 

He  then  served  in  the  Cholera  Hospital,  County  Kildare,  which  was  under 
the  supervision  of  the  government  and,  after  a  year's  activity  there,  he  was 
placed  in  charge  of  a  fever  hospital.  In  this  field  he  labored  for  twenty-five 
years.  On  his  return  to  Dublin  he  was  appointed  assistant  demonstrator  of 
anatomy  in  Trinity  College. 

In  1856  he  came  to  America  and  became  connected  with  various  medical 
journals.  For  a  few  months,  beginning  in  July,  1859,  he  was  associated  with 
Dr.  Daniel  Brainard  in  editing  the  Chicago  Medical  Journal. 

Dr.  Dyas  aided  Dr.  William  H.  Byford  in  1870  in  organizing  the  Woman's 
Medical  College,  where  for  five  years  he  occupied  the  chair  of  theory  and 
practice  of  medicine.  He  was  consultant  to  the  Woman's  and  Children's, 
St.  Joseph's  and  Cook  County  Hospitals. 

In  1873  Dr.  Dyas  was  elected  president  of  the  Chicago  Medical  Society. 
He  was  also  a  member  of  the  American  Medical  Association  and  the  Illinois 
State  Medical  Society. 


HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO  31 

Dr.  Henry  M.  Lyman,  describing  Dr.  Dyas  as  "a  tall,  distinguished  looking 
Irishman,  an  aristocratic  gentleman  with  a  lofty  sense  of  honor,"  also  said, 
"He  was  the  most  thorough  classical  scholar  among  the  physicians  of  Chi- 
cago. To  the  day  of  his  death  he  passed  no  evening  without  reading  a  few 
pages  in  the  original  of  his  favorite  Greek  and  Latin  author." 

In  1831  Dr.  Dyas  married  Miss  Georgiana  Keating  of  Mostrim,  County 
Longford,  Ireland.  A  son  of  that  marriage,  Dr.  George  K.  Dyas,  practiced 
medicine  in  Chicago  for  many  years,  dying  in  August,  1895.  His  son,  Dr. 
Frederick  G.  Dyas,  in  turn  became  a  member  of  the  medical  profession  in 
Chicago.  In  1861  the  elder  Dyas  married  Miss  Miranda  Sherwood  of  Bridge- 
port, Conn. 

During  his  last  years  Dr.  Dyas  lived  in  Park  Manor,  a  suburb  of  Chicago, 
where,  on  February  20,  1895,  he  was  killed  by  a  railroad  train  as  he  was 
returning  to  his  home. 

CHARLES     VOLNEY     DYER 
(1808-1878) 

One  of  the  promoters  of  the  celebrated  "Underground  Railroad,"  whereby 
fugitive  slaves  were  smuggled  to  freedom,  a  political  power  and  a  medical 
practitioner  of  high  standing,  Dr.  Charles  Volney  Dyer  was  one  of  the  most 
prominent  figures  in  the  early  life  of  Chicago. 

He  was  born  in  Clarendon,  Vt.,  June  12,  1808,  and  was  graduated  from 
Middlebury  (Vt.)  Medical  College  in  1830.  In  February,  1831,  Dr.  Dyer 
began  practice  at  Newark,  N.  J.,  where  he  remained  four  years. 

He  arrived  in  Chicago,  August  23,  1835.  In  1836  he  was  elected  town  clerk 
and  became  a  member  of  the  Chicago  Lyceum,  which  had  been  organized  in 
1834.  He  married  Miss  Louisa  M.  Gifford  of  Elgin  in  1837.  They  took  up 
their  residence  in  Fort  Dearborn,  where  their  first  children  were  born.  The 
same  year  Dr.  Dyer  was  elected  Judge  of  the  Probate  Court  and  two  years 
later  he  was  chosen  health  officer.  In  the  meantime  Dr.  Dyer  had  engaged  in 
practice  with  Dr.  L.  D.  Boone  and  had  also  become  known  as  the  strongest 
abolitionist  in  Chicago. 

Chicago's  first  militia  organization,  the  City  Guards,  formed  in  1840,  had 
on  its  roster  the  name  of  Dr.  Dyer  as  surgeon.  He  was  elected  trustee  of 
the  Garden  City  Institute  in  1853  and  in  1858  was  an  organizer  of  the  Chicago 
Charitable  Eye  and  Ear  Infirmary.  Dr.  Dyer  was  an  incorporator  of  the 
North  Chicago  Street  Railway  Company  in  1859  and  in  the  same  year  he 
helped  to  organize  the  Rosehill  Cemetery  Corporation. 

President  Lincoln  in  1863,  appointed  Dr.  Dyer  as  Judge  of  the  Mixed  Court 
for  the  suppression  of  the  African  slave  trade.  For  years  the  physician  had 
been  active  in  the  movement  to  aid  in  the  escape  of  fugitive  slaves. 

Dr.  Dyer  was  president  of  the  Cook  County  Drainage  Commission  in  1869. 
He  died  April  24,  1878.

William  Bradshaw  Egan,  physician,  churchman,  orator,  political  leader  and 
financial  magnate. 

Second  cousin  of  the  renowned  patriot,  Daniel  O'Connell,  Dr.  Egan  was 
born  on  the  banks  of  Lake  Killarney,  September  28,  1808.

HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO  33 

At  the  age  of  fifteen  he  began  his  medical  studies  under  Dr.  McGuire,  a 
surgeon  in  the  Lancashire  Collieries.  He  continued  his  course  in  London 
and  in  the  Lying-in  Hospital  of  Dublin. 

He  arrived  in  Quebec  in  1826  and  there,  in  1827,  engaged  in  teaching. 
Later  he  taught  in  Montreal  and  at  the  grammar  school  of  the  University  of 
Virginia,  where  he  attended  medical  lectures  for  two  terms.  Dr.  Egan 
pursued  a  course  at  Rutgers  Medical  School,  New  York  City,  and  in  1830  he 
was  licensed  by  the  medical  board  of  New  Jersey,  beginning  practice  in 
Newark  and  New  York. 

Dr.  Egan  married  Miss  Emmaline  W.  Mabbatt  of  New  York  City  in  1832 
and  the  following  year  the  young  couple  came  to  Chicago,  which  had  just 
been  organized  as  a  village.  Immediately  he  and  Dr.  J.  C.  Goodhue  were 
appointed  a  committee  to  enforce  sanitary  regulations,  thereby  constituting 
what  might  be  regarded  as  Chicago's  first  board  of  health. 

In  1834  Dr.  Egan  was  one  of  the  organizers  of  St.  James  Episcopal  Church 
and  was  one  of  the  vestrymen.  An  annalist  of  the  time  describes  him  as  "a 
fine  specimen  of  the  Irish  gentleman,  of  noble  presence,  exuberant  fancy, 
sparkling  wit,  keen  perception  and  with  a  fine  knowledge  of  the  classics." 

It  was  Dr.  Egan  who  delivered  the  address  when  ground  was  broken  for 
the  Illinois  and  Michigan  Canal  and  it  was  he  who  shared  the  oratorical 
honors  with  James  Lane,  territorial  governor  of  Kansas,  when  the  latter 
came  to  Chicago  to  plead  for  help  to  place  Kansas  in  the  Union  as  a  free 
state.  In  1842  Dr.  Egan  was  elected  president  of  an  organization  of  Irish- 
Americans  that  had  been  formed  to  liberate  Ireland. 

He  was  elected  recorder  of  deeds  of  Cook  County  in  1844.  In  1853-4 
he  was  a  member  of  the  lower  house  of  the  general  assembly. 

During  the  period  of  his  residence  in  Chicago  he  operated  successfully  in 
real  estate  and  it  was  said  of  him  that  in  1834  he  bought  a  tract  of  land  for 
$300  which  in  the  boom  of  1836  he  sold  for  $60,000. 

For  several  years  before  the  Civil  War  he  dwelt  upon  a  beautiful  estate 
in  the  village  of  Hyde  Park,  which  was  known  as  "Egandale."  It  fronted 
on  Cottage  Grove  Avenue  and  extended  from  Forty-seventh  street  to  Fifty- 
fifth  street. 

The  gate-keeper's  lodge  still  remained  in  1890.  Dr.  Egan  died  October 
27,  1860. 

ROBERT     C.     HAMILL 
(1808-1886) 

Flatboatman  on  the  Yazoo  and  Mississippi  rivers  in  1833. 

Recipient  of  an  honorary  degree  from  Rush  Medical  College  in  1861. 

These  two  incidents  indicate  the  character  and  ability  of  Dr.  Robert  C. 
Hamill,  for  thirty-four  years  a  leading  physician  in  Chicago. 

Dr.  Hamill  was  born  at  Xenia,  Ohio,  November  26,  1808.  His  ancestors 
were  among  the  earliest  settlers  of  Pennsylvania. 

After  completing  a  course  at  Jefferson  College,  Cannonsburg,  Pa.,  young 
Hamill  taught  school  near  Vicksburg,  Miss.  In  1833  he  ran  a  flat  boat  on  the 
Yazoo  and  Mississippi  rivers,  carrying  produce  to  New  Orleans.  Then  he  be- 
came purser  and  business  manager  of  a  Mississippi  river  steamer.  Returning 
to  Xenia,  Dr.  Hamill  opened  a  drug  store  and  began  the  study  of  medicine.  He 
attended  lectures  in  the  Ohio  Medical  College  of  Cincinnati,  of  which  he  be- 


34  HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO 

came  licentiate  in  1838.  At  this  time  he  married  Miss  Elvira  Davisson  of 
Xenia  and  removed  to  Bloomington,  Ind.,  where  he  practiced  medicine  until 
he  came  to  Chicago  in  1852. 

In  1861  Rush  Medical  College  conferred  upon  Dr.  Hamill  the  honorary  de- 
gree of  Doctor  of  Medicine. 

During  the  Civil  War,  Dr.  Hamill,  as  a  representative  of  the  Sanitary  Com- 
mission, visited  the  battle  zone  to  care  for  sick  and  wounded  soldiers.  He 
aided  in  the  establishment  of  the  Soldiers'  Rest  at  Chicago,  which,  after  the 
war,  became  the  Soldiers'  Home,  of  which  he  was  president  for  eighteen  years. 

During  his  active  career  in  Chicago  Dr.  Hamill  was  devoted  to  the  interests 
of  the  various  charitable  institutions  with  which  he  was  connected.  He  was 
one  of  the  founders  of  the  Home  for  Incurables  and  was  visiting  physician  to 
that  institution.  Dr.  Hamill  spent  several  hours  of  the  day  he  died  in  attend- 
ing charity  patients.  He  was  an  active  member  of  the  staff  of  the  Presby- 
terian Hospital. 

Dr.  Hamill  was  a  member  of  the  American  Medical  Association,  the  Illinois 
State  and  Chicago  Medical  societies,  trustee  of  Rush  Medical  College  and 
consulting  physician  to  the  Presbyterian  Hospital. 

Dr.  Hamill  died  from  heart  failure  July  21,  1886.  His  widow  and  three 
sons,  one  of  whom  is  Ernest  A.  Hamill,  a  banker,  survived  him. 

LEVI     DAY     BOONE 
(1808-1882) 

Collateral  descendant  of  Daniel  Boone;  captain  in  the  Blackhawk  War, 
first  president  of  the  Chicago  Medical  Society  and  an  early  mayor  of  Chicago, 
Dr.  Levi  Day  Boone  was  born  near  Lexington,  Ky.,  December  8,  1808.  He 
was  graduated  from  the  medical  department  of  Transylvania  University, 
Louisville,  Ky.,  in  1829.  In  the  same  year  he  removed  to  Edwardsville,  111., 
and  in  1830  to  Hillsboro,  111.  He  entered  the  Blackhawk  War  as  a  private  in 
1832  and  was  discharged  as  a  captain  and  surgeon.  In  1833  Dr.  Boone  mar- 
ried Miss  Louisa  Smith,  daughter  of  Theophilus  Smith,  Judge  of  the  Supreme 
Court  of  Illinois. 

A  year  after  his  arrival  in  Chicago  in  1835,  Dr.  Boone,  in  partnership  with 
Dr.  John  T.  Temple,  excavated  two  sections  of  the  Illinois  and  Michigan 
canal. 

In  1839  he  became  associated  in  medical  practice  with  Dr.  Charles  V.  Dyer 
and  in  1845  he  entered  into  a  partnership  with  Dr.  Brockholst  McVickar.  Dr. 
Boone  was  elected  city  physician  in  1849  and  held  that  position  for  three 
years.  He  was  an  organizer  of  the  Chicago  Medical  Society  in  1850  and  was 
elected  its  first  president. 

For  six  years  alderman  from  the  second  ward,  Dr.  Boone  was  elected  mayor 
of  Chicago  in  1855. 

He  was  one  of  the  surgeons  at  Camp  Douglas  for  a  period  during  the  Civil 
War.  Although  of  southern  birth,  Dr.  Boone  was  a  supporter  of  the  Union 
cause  and  his  last  professional  work  was  performed  on  a  voluntary  trip  to 
the  front  to  relieve  overworked  field  surgeons.  Dr.  Boone's  youngest  son, 
S.  S.  Boone,  served  throughout  the  war  as  lieutenant  of  a  company  of  the 
Nineteenth  Infantry.  In  1862  failing  health  made  a  change  of  occupation 
necessary  and  Dr.  Boone  entered  the  life  insurance  business. 

Dr.  Boone  was  a  trustee  of  the  Old  University  of  Chicago  and  a  member  of 
the  old  Michigan  Avenue  Baptist  Church.  He  died  January  24,  1882.

ABRAHAM     GROESBECK 
(1810-1884) 

Dr.  Abraham  Groesbeck,  in  1866  president  of  the  Chicago  Medical  Society, 
was  born  in  Albany,  N.  Y.,  May  24,  1810.  Upon  leaving  Albany  Academy  at 
the  age  of  sixteen  years,  he  began  the  study  of  medicine  in  the  office  of  Dr. 
Jonathan  Eights  of  Albany,  where  he  remained  for  five  years. 

After  attending  Barclay  Medical  College  in  New  York  City,  Dr.  Groesbeck 
was  licensed  to  practice  medicine  May  27,  1831.  He  pursued  his  profession 
in  Albany  for  eighteen  years  and  in  1840  the  Albany  Medical  College  con- 
ferred upon  him  the  degree  of  Doctor  of  Medicine. 

From  Albany  Dr.  Groesbeck  removed  to  Kenosha,  Wis.,  where  he  practiced 
medicine  seven  years.  Coming  to  Chicago  in  1856,  he  devoted  his  attention 
largely  to  obstetrics. 

In  his  last  years  Dr.  Groesbeck  suffered  almost  total  blindness,  which 
caused  his  retirement  from  practice  four  years  before  his  death. 

While  living  in  Albany  in  1841  Dr.  Groesbeck  married  Miss  Mary  L.  Wil- 
liams, wrho  with  their  daughters,  Mrs.  Augustus  Van  Buren  and  Miss  Fannie 
Groesbeck,  survived  him.  He  died  November  25,  1884. 

BROCKHOL  ST     McVICKAR 
(1810-1883) 

Chicago's  first  Commissioner  of  Health,  one  of  the  founders  of  the  Chicago 
Medical  Society  and  of  the  first  City  Hospital,  Dr.  Brockholst  McVickar  was 
active  in  the  professional  and  public  life  of  this  city  for  nearly  a  generation. 

Dr.  McVickar  was  born  in  New  York  City,  May  31,  1810.  He  received  his 
early  education  under  private  tutors  and  later  under  his  uncle,  Professor  John 
McVickar  of  Columbia  College.  He  was  graduated  in  medicine  from  Fair- 
field  Medical  College,  New  York,  in  1831.  His  first  practice  was  at  Trenton, 
New  Jersey. 

He  came  to  Chicago  in  1848.  Like  all  other  physicians  of  the  city,  he 
battled  hard  with  the  great  cholera  epidemic  of  1849.  In  1850  Dr.  McVickar, 
his  partner,  Dr.  Levi  D.  Boone,  and  Dr.  N.  S.  Davis  took  a  leading  part  in 
organizing  the  Chicago  Medical  Society. 

From  1853  to  1856  Dr.  McVickar  was  city  physician.  In  the  cholera 
epidemic  of  1854,  as  city  physician,  he  constructed  and  had  charge  of  the  first 
City  Hospital  at  Eighteenth  and  Arnold  Streets,  from  which  later  was  devel- 
oped Cook  County  Hospital. 

From  June  until  November  1862,  he  was  surgeon  of  the  Twenty-third  Illi- 
nois Volunteer  Infantry,  Colonel  James  A.  Mulligan  commanding.  When,  in 
1863,  the  government  commandeered  the  City  Hospital  for  military  purposes, 
Dr.  McVickar  was  placed  in  charge.  Later  he  was  also  chief  medical  officer 
of  the  Marine  Hospital  and  of  Camp  Douglas,  a  place  of  internment  for  Con- 
federate prisoners. 

In  1868  he  was  again  physician  in  charge  of  the  Marine  Hospital.  On  July 
19,  1876,  the  City  Council  of  Chicago  passed  an  ordinance  creating  the  office 
of  Commissioner  of  Health  and  vesting  authority  of  the  department  in  that 
official.  Dr.  McVickar  was  the  first  commissioner  and  was  appointed  July  24, 
1876.  A  few  months  later  he  was  compelled  to  resign  on  account  of  ill  health. 
He  died  at  Buffalo,  N.  Y.,  October  14,  1883.

HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO  37 

ALVAN     EDMOND     SMALL 
(1811-1886) 

Author,  teacher  and  sometime  president  of  Hahnemann  Medical  College, 
Dr.  Alvan  Edmond  Small  was  born  in  Wales,  Lincoln  County,  Maine,  March 
4,  1811.  His  father,  John  Small,  was  for  several  terms  a  member  of  the 
legislature  of  Maine. 

The  son  attended  the  public  schools  until  he  was  sixteen  years  old.  He 
was  then  so  advanced  that  he  was  chosen  as  principal  of  a  district  grammar 
schoool.  After  teaching  for  a  time  he  took  a  four  years'  academic  course  in 
Monmouth,  Maine.  He  thereupon  became  principal  of  one  of  the  city  schools 
in  Bath,  Maine,  serving  for  two  years.  In  1831  he  began  the  study  of  med- 
icine under  Dr.  B.  C.  Green  of  Saco,  Maine.  He  studied  with  him  for  two 
years  and  completed  his  education  at  the  medical  department  of  the  Univer- 
sity of  Pennsylvania. 

He  practiced  medicine  in  Delaware  County,  Pennsylvania,  until  1845, 
when,  after  embracing  homeopathy,  he  moved  to  Philadelphia,  where  he  re- 
mained for  eleven  years.  In  1849  he  was  appointed  to  the  chair  of  physiology 
in  the  Homeopathic  College  of  Philadelphia.  Later  he  was  transferred  to 
the  chair  of  the  homeopathic  institute  and  practice  of  medicine. 

He  came  to  Chicago  in  1856  and  when,  in  1860,  Hahnemann  Medical  Col- 
lege was  established  he  was  appointed  to  the  chair  of  theory  and  practice 
of  medicine,  which  he  filled  for  ten  years.  When  resigning  this  chair  he  was 
elected  president  of  the  college.  He  was  general  superintendent  of  Scam- 
mon  Hospital,  and  served  as  president  of  the  Illinois  Homeopathic  Medical 
Association  and  the  American  Institute  of  Homeopathy. 

His  published  works  include  "Manual  of  the  Homeopathic  Practice,"  "Dis- 
eases of  the  Nervous  System"  and  monographs  on  various  subjects. 

He  died  December  31,  1886. 

DANIEL    BRAINARD 
(1812-1866) 

Founder  and  head  of  the  first  medical  college  in  Chicago,  an  organizer 
of  the  first  general  hospital,  the  city's  first  health  officer  and  for  more  than 
twenty  years  recognized  as  its  leading  surgeon — such  are  the  outstanding 
facts  in  the  career  of  Daniel  Brainard. 

The  surgeon's  interests  were  not  limited  to  his  profession ;  for  a  few 
years  after  his  arrival  in  Chicago  he  occupied  the  editorial  chair  of  the 
city's  first  newspaper,  the  Chicago  Democrat.  He  was  known  also  as  a 
botanist  and  geologist  and  a  student  of  literature. 

Dr.  Brainard's  first  prominence  as  a  surgeon  came  in  1838,  when  he  per- 
formed what  is  believed  to  have  been  the  second  major  operation  in  the 
city  and  one  of  the  first  of  its  kind  in  the  United  States.  This  was  the 
amputation  of  a  leg  of  a  laborer  on  the  Illinois  and  Michigan  canal,  the 
amputation  being  made  at  the  hip-joint. 

The  laborer,  having  suffered  a  fracture  of  the  femur  and  having  had  the 
leg  dressed,  walked  several  miles  into  the  city  before  union  had  been  com- 
pletely effected.  The  inflammation  that  followed  was  so  severe  that  at  a 
conference  of  Doctors  Brainard,  Josiah  C.  Goodhue,  Philip  Maxwell  and 
William  B.  Egan,  an  amputation  was  declared  necessary. 


38  HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO 

Dr.  Brainard  urged  amputation  at  the  hip-joint,  but  the  other  three  fav- 
ored having  it  done  below  the  trochanter.  The  young  surgeon  removed 
the  leg  at  the  place  designated  by  his  counsellors,  but  rinding  the  bone 
marrow  diseased  higher  up,  he  at  once  amputated  at  the  hip,  Dr.  Goodhue 
performing  the  important  duty  of  compressing  the  femoral  artery. 

The  case  progressed  favorably  for  a  few  weeks  and  the  wounds  had 
nearly  healed,  when  secondary  hemorrhage  developed  and  quickly  proved 
fatal. 

Born  in  the  town  of  Western,  Oneida  County,  New  York,  May  15,  1812, 
the  son  of  Jepthai  Brainard,  Jr.,  and  Catherine  Comstock  Brainard,  the 
future  surgeon  traced  his  ancestry  in  America  back  to  Daniel  Brainard, 
who  was  brought  to  this  country  when  eight  years  old,  and  who  in  1662 
settled  at  Haddam,  Connecticut.  Following  a  common  school  and  academic 
education,  Dr.  Brainard  began  the  study  of  medicine  in  1829  with  Dr. 
R.  S.  Sykes  of  Whitesboro,  New  York,  later  entering  the  office  of  Dr. 
Harold  H.  Pope,  in  Rome,  New  York. 

A  course  of  lectures  at  Fairfield  Medical  College  was  followed  by  two 
courses  at  Jefferson  Medical  College  in  Philadelphia,  where  he  received  his 
medical  degree  in  1834.  He  then  returned  to  Whitesboro  and  spent  a  year 
or  more  in  partnership  with  Dr.  Sykes  and  in  the  study  of  Latin  and 
French. 

He  arrived  in  Chicago  in  the  autumn  of  1835  and  at  once  took  up  the 
practice  of  his  profession.  In  1837  he  obtained  a  charter  for  Rush  Medical 
College,  named  in  honor  of  Benjamin  Rush,  a  noted  physician  and  a  signer 
of  the  Declaration  of  Independence.  In  that  year  Chicago  received  its 
charter  as  a  city  and  Dr.  Brainard  became  city  physician,  or  health  officer. 

Dr.  Brainard  was  prevented  from  opening  the  medical  college  by  the 
financial  panic  of  1837  and  the  depression  following,  and  in  1839  he  went  to 
Paris,  France,  then  the  center  of  medical  culture,  where  he  spent  two  years 
in  study.  The  influence  of  the  time  thus  spent  is  shown  in  his  subsequent 
writings  and  activities. 

Rush  Medical  College  was  opened  in  1843  in  two  small  rooms  in  Clark 
street,  where  the  first  class  was  graduated  with  Dr.  Brainard  as  professor 
of  anatomy  and  surgery.  He  was  professor  of  surgery  and  president  of 
the  college  up  to  his  death. 

A  remarkable  faculty  of  Dr.  Brainard  was  his  seeming  prescience  in  the 
selection  of  his  associates  in  the  early  days  of  Rush  Medical  College.  Many 
of  the  men  whom  he  chose  as  members  of  the  faculty  or  whom  he  persuaded 
to  lecture  before  the  students  were  young  men  whose  ability  he  recognized 
and  who  later  achieved  national  and  international  reputations.  Among 
these  were  Samuel  G.  Armor,  the  elder  Austin  Flint,  Nathan  S.  Davis, 
Eclmund  Andrews,  and  James  Van  Zandt  Blaney. 

In  association  with  several  of  his  colleagues,  Dr.  Brainard  aided  in  edit- 
ing the  Northwestern  Medical  and  Surgical  Journal,  the  first  medical  jour- 
nal published  in  Chicago,  which  later  became  the  Chicago  Medical  Journal. 

In  1847  the  first  general  hospital  in  the  city  was  established,  chiefly 
through  the  efforts  of  Dr.  Brainard  and  his  associates.  A  large  warehouse 
on  the  northeast  corner  of  Kinzie  and  Wolcott  (now  State)  streets,  to  which 
was  given  the  name  of  Tippecanoe  Hall,  was  used  for  the  hospital.  One

hundred  beds  were  installed  and  these  were  well  equipped  during  the  two 
succeeding  years,  when  "ship-fever"  prevailed,  chiefly  among  the  immi- 
grants. Doctors  Brainard,  J.  V.  Z.  Blaney  and  William  B.  Herrick  con- 
stituted the  medical  staff. 

The  vice-presidency  of  the  American  Medical  Association  was  bestowed 
upon  Dr.  Brainard  in  1850.  In  that  year  he  was  an  organizer  of  the  Chi- 
cago Medical  Society  and  the  Illinois  State  Medical  Society,  becoming 
president  of  the  latter  organization  in  1854.  Visiting  France  again  in  1853, 
he  read  two  important  papers  before  the  Academy  of  Science  and  the  Society 
of  Surgery  of  Paris.  At  this  time  he  was  elected  a  corresponding  member 
of  the  Societe  de  Chirurgie. 

Upon  his  return  to  Chicago,  Dr.  Brainard  in  1854  was  awarded  a  prize 
by  the  American  Medical  Association  for  his  essay  on  the  treatment  of 
"ununited  fractures  and  certain  deformities  of  the  osseous  system." 

The  motto  of  the  essay,  which  is  considered  one  of  the  classical  medical 
articles  of  America,  was  in  French  of  the  Sixteenth  Century  from  Ambroise 
Pare.  Liberally  translated,  it  reads : 

"And  notwithstanding  all  the  pains  I  have  heretofore  taken,  I  have  reason 
to  praise  God,  in  that  it  hath  pleased  Him  to  call  me  to  that  branch  of 
medical  practice,  commonly  called  surgery,  which  can  neither  be  bought 
by  gold  nor  by  silver,  but  by  industry  alone  and  long  experience." 

In  the  cholera  epidemic  of  1866,  in  which  more  than  a  thousand  Chi- 
cagoans  perished,  Dr.  Brainard  was  one  of  the  early  victims.  In  the  after- 
noon of  October  9,  he  digressed  from  the  subject  of  his  lecture  to  advise 
his  class  how  to  guard  against  cholera,  and  before  he  retired  that  evening 
he  began  an  article  on  the  disease,  the  first  page  of  which  is  still  preserved 
in  the  archives  of  the  college. 

He  went  to  bed  apparently  in  perfect  health,  but  towards  morning  noted 
choleric  symptoms,  which  he  checked  with  opiates.  He  arose  as  usual  the 
next  morning  with  no  symptoms  of  sickness  until  9  o'clock,  when  he  suf- 
fered a  second  attack.  Dr.  Ephraim  Ingals  and  another  member  of  the 
faculty  were  called,  but  by  2  o'clock  in  the  afternoon  Dr.  Brainard  was  in 
collapse  and  seven  hours  later  he  ceased  to  breathe.  His  funeral  was  from 
St.  James'  Church  and  his  burial  in  Graceland  cemetery. 

In  1891  Dr.  Nicholas  Senn  spoke  of  Dr.  Brainard  as  one  of  the  greatest 
surgeons,  and  certainly  the  most  original,  that  America  had  produced. 

AUSTIN     FLINT 
(1812-1886) 

It  was  while  serving  as  professor  of  the  institutes  and  practice  of  medicine 
at  Rush  Medical  College  that  Dr.  Austin  Flint  formulated  many  of  the  doc- 
trines of  ethics  which,  later,  were  incorporated  into  the  code  of  the  American 
Medical  Association.  He  had  been  summoned  to  that  institution  by  Dr. 
Daniel  Brainard  in  1844.  For  one  year  Dr.  Flint  was  a  teacher  at  Rush. 
Then  he  left  for  the  east  and  years  afterward  he  became  a  distinguished  figure 
in  American  medical  history. 

Dr.  Flint  was  born  in  Petersham,  Mass.,  October  20,  1812.  His  grand- 
father had  been  a  surgeon  in  the  Continental  Army.

After  having  pursued  his  academic  education  at  Amherst  and  Harvard, 
Dr.  Flint  was  graduated  from  Harvard  Medical  School  in  1833.  For  a  time 
he  practiced  in  Boston,  but  in  1836  removed  to  Buffalo.  Eight  years  later, 
for  a  period  of  a  year,  he  lectured  at  Rush  Medical  College,  announcing  some 
of  the  canons  that  subsequently  entered  into  the  code  of  the  American 
Medical  Association. 

For  ten  years,  beginning  in  1846,  Dr.  Flint  conducted  the  Buffalo  Medical 
Journal.  In  1847  he  was  associated  with  Professors  White  and  Hamilton  in 
the  founding  of  Buffalo  Medical  College.  Until  1852  he  was  professor  of 
the  principles  and  practice  of  medicine  in  that  institution.  From  1852  to 
1856  Dr.  Flint  occupied  the  chair  of  the  theory  and  practice  of  medicine  in 
the  University  of  Louisville.  Then  he  returned  to  Buffalo  as  professor  of 
pathology  arrd  clinical  medicine. 

Moving  from  Buffalo  to  New  York  City  in  1859,  Dr.  Flint  entered  upon 
the  practice  of  his  profession.  After  the  lapse  of  two  years  he  was  appointed 
physician  to  Bellevue  Hospital  and  professor  of  the  principles  and  practice 
of  medicine  in  the  Bellevue  Hospital  Medical  College.  He  was  also  pro- 
fessor of  pathology  and  medical  practice  in  the  Long  Island  Hospital  College. 
Dr.  Flint  was  connected  with  Bellevue  for  twenty-five  years  and  with  the 
Long  Island  College  seven  years. 

President  of  the  New  York  Academy  of  Medicine  from  1872  until  1885, 
Dr.  Flint  was  a  member  of  the  leading  American  medical,  surgical  and 
scientific  societies.  He  was  a  delegate  to  the  International  Medical  Congress 
at  Philadelphia  in  1876  and  was  president  of  the  American  Medical  Associa- 
tion in  1884. 

Dr.  Flint  was  elected  to  preside  over  the  International  Medical  Congress 
at  Washington  in  1887.  He  died,  however,  March  13,  1886. 

ERIAL     McARTHUR 
(1812-1857) 

Dr.  Erial  McArthur,  president  of  the  Chicago  Medical  Society  in  1852,  was 
an  advertiser.  An  anomaly,  BUT 

When  smallpox  ravaged  Chicago  in  1849,  he  and  other  public  spirited  phy- 
sicians battled  day  and  night  to  stay  the  dread  epidemic.  In  their  efforts  to 
extinguish  the  plague,  among  many  other  things,  they  advertised  in  the 
mediums  of  the  day  that  they  would  vaccinate  without  charge  any  member 
of  the  community.  Dr.  McArthur  made  a  special  study  of  the  disease  and 
wrote  a  valuable  monograph  on  it. 

Dr.  McArthur  was  born  in  Bradford,  Vt.,  December  16,  1812.  From  there 
the  family  moved  to  Youngstown,  Niagara  County,  New  York,  where  Dr. 
McArthur's  younger  brother,  Dr.  Alonzo  L.  McArthur,  was  born. 

The  name  of  Erial  McArthur,  M.  D.,  first  appeared  in  the  Chicago  directory 
in  1846.  Writh  Doctors  Daniel  Brainard,  J.  V.  Z.  Blaney,  William  B.  Herrick 
and  others,  he  journeyed  to  Springfield  in  April,  1850,  to  assist  in  the  forma- 
tion of  the  Illinois  State  Medical  Society.  The  next  year  he  was  elected  vice- 
president  of  the  organization. 

In  1852  he  was  elected  president  of  the  Chicago  Medical  Society. 

He  died  October  22,  1857.

WILLIAM     B.     HERRICK 
(1813-1865) 

The  first  president  of  the  Illinois  State  Medical  Society  and  twice  president 
of  the  Chicago  Medical  Society,  Dr.  William  B.  Herrick  was  closely  identified 
with  the  early  history  of  Rush  Medical  College. 

He  was  born  at  Durham,  Maine,  September  20,  1813.  He  attended  medical 
lectures  at  Bowdoin  and  Dartmouth  colleges  and  was  graduated  from  the 
latter  in  1836.  The  following  year  he  went  to  Louisville,  Ky.,  where  he  was 
appointed  assistant  demonstrator  of  anatomy  in  Louisville  Medical  College. 
Removing  to  Hillsboro,  111.,  in  1839,  he  entered  practice  and  in  1840  married 
Miss  Martha  J.  Seward,  a  kinswoman  of  William  H.  Seward. 

He  joined  the  faculty  of  Rush  Medical  College  in  Chicago  in  1844,  and  be- 
came lecturer  on  anatomy  at  that  time.  He  was  appointed  professor  of 
anatomy  in  1845. 

On  the  opening  of  hostilities  with  Mexico,  he  was  commissioned  assistant 
surgeon  in  the  First  Illinois  Infantry  and,  with  General  Wool's  division,  he 
was  in  the  engagement  at  Buena  Vista.  Later  he  was  placed  in  charge  of 
the  hospital  at  Saltillo.  He  became  a  victim  of  exposure  and,  resigning  in 
1847,  resumed  his  professional  work  in  Chicago.  He  remained  professor  of 
anatomy  at  Rush  until  1855,  when  he  was  made  professor  of  physiology  and 
histology.  He  continued  to  occupy  the  latter  chair  until  1857. 

Dr.  Herrick,  in  "the  summer  of  1850,  helped  to  organize  the  Illinois  State 
Medical  Society  and  was  elected  first  president  of  that  body.  In  the  same 
year  he  assisted  in  the  foundation  of  the  Chicago  Medical  Society,  whose 
president  he  was  in  1851  and  again  in  1853. 

Disabilities  which  he  contracted  in  the  Mexican  war  compelled  him  to 
retire  in  1857,  and  return  to  Maine,  where  he  died  December  31,  1865. 


VALENTINE    A.     BOYER 
(1814-1890) 

Physician,  druggist,  canal  builder,  justice  of  the  peace  and  church  trustee — 
these  occupations  denote  the  activities  in  Chicago  of  Dr.  Valentine  A.  Boyer, 
for  nearly  sixty  years  a  resident  of  the  city. 

Born  in  Reading,  Pa.,  January  23,  1814,  Dr.  Boyer  was  graduated  from  the 
medical  department  of  the  University  of  Pennsylvania  in  1836.  He  proceeded 
to  Chicago  where  he  became  interested  with  his  father  in  the  construction  of 
the  Illinois  and  Michigan  Canal. 

Dr.  Boyer  established  one  of  the  first  drug  stores  in  Chicago  and  continued 
that  business  in  connection  with  his  practice  until  his  store  was  consumed,  as 
was  also  his  home,  in  the  great  Chicago  fire  of  1871.  After  the  fire  until  his 
retirement  in  1880,  Dr.  Boyer's  time  was  devoted  to  his  practice. 

Dr.  Boyer  was  an  early  justice  of  the  peace  and  held  that  office  from  1844 
to  1852.  He  was  first  surveyor  of  the  port  of  Chicago  under  President  Pierce. 
He  was  also  a  member  of  the  first  board  of  trustees  of  the  First  German 
Lutheran  Church. 

In  1847  Dr.  Boyer  married  Miss  Mary  Catherine  Specht,  who  survived  him 
upon  his  death,  May  11,  1890. 


HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO  43 

JOHN     EVANS 
(1814-1897) 

One  of  the  great  citizens  of  the  pioneer  west  was  Dr.  John  Evans,  one  of 
the  founders  of: 

The  City  of  Evanston, 
Northwestern  University, 
The  Methodist  Book  Concern, 
The  Northwestern  Christian  Advocate, 
The  Chicago  Medical  Society, 
The  Illinois  State  Medical  Society, 
Chicago's  first  High  School  and 
The  University  of  Denver,  and  who  was 
Territorial  Governor  of  Colorado. 

Dr.  Evans  was  born  near  Waynesville,  Ohio,  March  9,  1814.  His  father, 
David  Evans,  a  Quaker,  was  an  extensive  farmer  and  prosperous  merchant 
of  Waynesville. 

Upon  graduating  from  the  Ohio  Medical  College  of  Cincinnati  in  1838,  Dr. 
Evans  began  the  practice  of  medicine  at  Attica,  Ind.  His  constructive  career 
was  launched  when,  in  1844,  he  secured  legislation  for  the  establishment  of 
a  hospital  for  the  insane  at  Indianapolis.  He  was  appointed  superintendent 
and  designed  and  directed  the  erection  of  the  buildings  which  later  served 
as  a  model  for  the  asylum  built  by  the  state  of  Illinois. 

Dr.  Evans  established  contact  with  this  community  when  President 
Brainard  summoned  him  to  the  chair  of  obstetrics  in  Rush  Medical  College 
in  1845  and  it  was  not  long  before  he  had  gained  high  reputation  as  a  teacher 
and  medical  practitioner. 

In  eleven  years  his  activities  became  so  diverse  as  to  compel  him  to  resign 
from  his  practice  and  his  profession. 

In  1850  he  helped  to  organize  both  the  Chicago  and  Illinois  State  Medical 
Societies. 

As  a  member  of  the  city  council  Dr.  Evans  prepared  an  ordinance  pro- 
viding for  a  superintendent  of  the  city  public  schools  and  it  was  largely 
through  his  influence  that  Chicago's  first  high  school  was  built. 

In  1850  Dr.  Evans  was  one  of  the  editors  of  the  Northwestern  Medical  and 
Surgical  Journal,  the  first  medical  publication  issued  in  Chicago. 

From  1853  to  1855  Dr.  Evans  devoted  his  great  energies  to  the  foundation 
of  Northwestern  University.  He  secured  for  it  valuable  lands,  endowed  it 
to  the  extent  of  $100,000  and  secured  legislation  perpetually  relieving  it  from 
taxation.  To  commemorate  his  services  to  the  institution  the  site  upon 
which  the  university  was  erected  was  named  Evanston. 

Dr.  Evans  successively  aided  in  the  establishment  of  Mercy  Hospital,  the 
Methodist  Book  Concern  and  the  Northwestern  Christian  Advocate. 

Then  he  built  the  Chicago  and  Fort  Wayne  railroad,  now  part  of  the 
Pennsylvania  system. 

Dr.  Evans  was  a  member  of  the  convention  that  nominated  Abraham 
Lincoln  for  the  presidency  and  in  1862  the  chief  executive  appointed  him 
territorial  governor  of  Colorado.  During  the  next  thirty-five  years  Dr. 
Evans  took  a  leading  part  in  building  railroads  and  in  developing  the  re-

sources  of  Colorado.     The  legislature  of  Colorado  bestowed  his  name  upon 
one  of  the  loftiest  peaks  in  the  Rockies. 

Dr.  Evans  died  at  Denver  July  3,  1897.  A  bust  of  him  is  in  the  library  of 
Northwestern  University  at  Evanston. 

LUCIEN     PRENTISS     CHENEY 
(1814-1864) 

In  later  days  to  be  the  mentor  and  friend  of  Dr.  Joseph  Presley  Ross,  some- 
time founder  of  the  Presbyterian  Hospital,  Dr.  Lucien  Prentiss  Cheney  came 
to  Chicago  in  1850.  During  the  period  of  his  early  practice  here  he  was  city 
physician  and,  as  such,  had  charge  of  the  smallpox  hospital  which  was  located 
at  North  Avenue  and  the  Lake. 

Dr.  Cheney  was  born  in  Addison  County,  Vt.,  August  25,  1814.  He  was 
graduated  from  Castleton  Medical  College  in  1837  and  in  the  same  year  mar- 
ried Miss  Mary  Louisa  Stone  of  Bridgeport,  Vt.  After  thirteen  years'  prac- 
tice in  Vermont  and  in  New  York  he  came  to  Chicago  and  located  on  the  west 
side.  He  followed  his  profession  there  until  his  death. 

His  practice  grew  to  such  an  extent  that  he  secured  Dr.  Joseph  Presley 
Ross  as  his  assistant.  From  him  Dr.  Ross  derived  counsel  and  help  that  was 
of  great  value  in  his  subsequent  career. 

Dr.  Cheney  was  county  physician  for  two  years  and  in  1862  he  was  chosen 
city  physician.  Included  in  his  activities  was  supervision  of  the  smallpox 
hospital,  remotely  located  on  the  sands  at  North  Avenue. 

It  was  upon  Dr.  Cheney's  advice  that  the  city  council  passed  an  ordinance 
making  vaccination  compulsory. 

Dr.  Cheney  was  one  of  the  founders  of  the  Episcopal  Church  of  the  Atone- 
ment which  later  became  the  Cathedral  of  Saints  Peter  and  Paul. 

Dr.  Cheney  died  April  28,  1864. 

GERHARD     CHRISTIAN     PAOLI 
(1815-1898) 

Twice  president  of  the  Chicago  Medical  Society,  Dr.  Gerhard  Christian 
Paoli  was  a  pioneer  in  the  medical  education  of  women  and  a  practitioner  in 
this  city  for  forty-five  years. 

He  was  born  in  Drontheim,  Norway,  June  23,  1815.  After  spending  six 
years  in  the  study  of  medicine  and  in  hospital  practice  in  Christiania  he  went 
to  Stockholm,  where  he  practiced  four  years. 

Arriving  in  the  United  States  in  1846,  he  spent  six  months  in  Milwaukee 
and  Madison,  Wisconsin.  Then  he  engaged  in  practice  in  Springfield,  Ohio, 
where  he  was  active  for  several  years. 

He  came  to  Chicago  in  1853.  At  that  time  he  became  a  member  of  the 
Illinois  State  and  Chicago  Medical  societies  and  the  American  Medical 
Association. 

Like  Dr.  J.  V.  Z.  Blaney,  Dr.  Paoli  was  a  chemist.  For  some  time  both 
experimented  together  in  an  effort  to  produce  spirits  chemically.  In  this  they 
were  successful.  City  physician  under  Mayors  Wentworth  and  Haines,  Dr. 
Paoli  was,  after  the  civil  war,  examining  surgeon  for  pensions. 

He  was  one  of  the  first  to  interest  himself  in  the  medical  education  of 
women  and  in  1870  he  was  appointed  professor  of  materia  medica  and  medical

jurisprudence  in  the  Woman's  Hospital  Medical  College.  This  chair  he  held 
for  seven  years.  He  was  twice  honored  by  election  to  the  presidency  of  the 
Chicago  Medical  Society  in  1863  and  in  1872  and  was  twice  vice-president  of 
that  organization.  He  was  also  president  of  the  Linnean  Hospital  and  a 
member  of  its  medical  staff.  He  was  the  recipient  of  an  honorary  degree 
from  Rush  Medical  College. 

Dr.  Paoli  was  first  married  in  England  in  1842.  His  wife  having  died 
there,  he  married  Mrs.  Sarah  Magnusson  in  1881.  He  died  in  Chicago 
January  29,  1898. 

ALONZO  BENJAMIN  PALMER 
(1815-1887) 

One  of  the  organizers  of  the  Chicago  Medical  Society,  a  professor  at  Rush 
Medical  College  and  the  University  of  Michigan,  Dr.  Alonzo  Benjamin 
Palmer  was  for  several  decades  a  distinguished  teacher  in  Chicago  and  at 
Ann  Arbor. 

.He  was  born  in  Richfield,  New  York,  October  6,  1815.  Graduating,  from 
the  College  of  Physicians  and  Surgeons  at  Fairfield,  New  York,  in  1839,  he 
entered  upon  the  practice  of  medicine  at  Tecumseh,  Michigan,  where  he 
remained  ten  years.  Early  in  1850  he  proceeded  to  Chicago,  where  he  became 
one  of  the  organizers  of  the  Chicago  Medical  Society.  He  was  appointed  a 
member  of  the  faculty  of  Rush  Medical  College  and  delivered  private  lectures 
to  students.  In  1852  he  was  city  physician  and  medical  adviser  to  the  health 
officer.  That  year  he  was  delegate  from  the  Chicago  Medical  Society  to  the 
convention  of  the  American  Medical  Association  in  Richmond,  Virginia. 

In  1854  he  moved  to  Ann  Arbor,  where  he  assumed  the  chairs  of  materia 
medica  and  therapeutics  and  diseases  of  women  and  children  in  the  University 
of  Michigan.  He  was  later  transferred  to  the  chair  of  pathology  and  theory 
and  practice  of  medicine,  which  he  held  until  his  death.  He  served  through- 
out the  civil  war  as  surgeon  of  the  Second  Michigan  Infantry. 

In  1875  he  became  dean  of  the  faculty  of  the  medical  department  of  the 
University  of  Michigan,  which  position  he  occupied,  with  the  exception  of 
one  year,  until  he  died.  After  he  had  been  associated  with  the  University  of 
Michigan  for  thirty  years,  he  was  made  a  Doctor  of  Laws  by  that  institution. 
He  died  at  Ann  Arbor,  December  23,  1887. 

In  his  memory,  his  widow,  formerly  Miss  Love  M.  Root  of  Pittsfield, 
Massachussetts,  whom  he  married  in  1867,  endowed  the  Palmer  ward  of  the 
hospital  of  the  University  of  Michigan. 

DAVID     SHEPPARD     SMITH 
(1816-1891) 

One  of  the  organizers  and  president  of  the  board  of  trustees  of  Hahnemann 
Medical  College,  Dr.  David  Sheppard  Smith  throughout  his  life  in  Chicago 
was  a  conspicuous  advocate  of  homeopathy. 

He  was  born  in  Camden,  New  Jersey,  April  28,  1816.  After  studying  in 
the  office  of  Dr.  Isaac  S.  Mulford,  he  attended  three  courses  at  Jefferson 
Medical  College  in  Philadelphia,  graduating  in  1836. 

He  came  to  Chicago  in  1838.  In  1843  he  became  a  convert  to  homeopathy 
and  later  assisted  in  the  organization  of  Hahnemann  Medical  College.  He 


48  HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO 

was  elected  to  the  presidency  of  the  board  of  trustees  of  that  institution. 
In  recognition  of  his  services  to  homeopathy  Dr.  Smith  in  1856  was  granted 
an  honorary  degree  by  the  Homeopathic  Medical  College  of  Cleveland. 

In  1857  he  was  elected  general  secretary  of  the  American  Institute  of 
Homeopathy  and  in  1858  was  made  president  of  that  organization. 

In  1836  he  married  Miss  Rebecca  Ann  Dennis  of  Salem,  New  Jersey. 
There  were  four  children.  He  died  April  29,  1891. 

JOSEPH     WARREN     FREER 
(1816-1877) 

The  tragic  demise  of  his  wife,  who  died  after  repeated  bleedings,  re- 
awakened in  Joseph  Warren  Freer  a  desire  to  be  a  physician.  Leaving  hi? 
farm  in  Illinois,  he  came  to  the  village  of  Chicago  on  a  load  of  wheat  and 
repairing  to  Dr.  Daniel  Brainard  he  became  his  pupil.  The  day  came  when 
Dr.  Freer  was  one  of  the  great  surgeons  of  the  west  and  the  president  of 
the  college  he  had  entered  as  a  zealous  rustic. 

Dr.  Freer  was  born  at  Fort  Ann,  New  York,  August  10,  1816.  When  he 
was  seventeen  he  entered  the  office  of  his  uncle,  Dr.  Lemuel  C.  Paine  of 
Clyde,  New  York,  and  began  the  study  of  medicine.  However,  his  family 
bought  a  claim  on  Fort  Creek  near  Wilmington,  Illinois,  and  he  quit  medicine 
to  accompany  the  pioneers.  For  nine  years  he  worked  on  the  farm. 

In  1844  Joseph  Freer  married  Miss  Emmeline  Holden,  who  died  two  years 
later.  Convinced  that  she  had  been  sacrificed  to  meager  medical  knowledge, 
he  left  his  farm  and,  under  the  tutelage  of  Dr.  Brainard,  studied  at  Rush 
Medical  College.  He  was  graduated  in  1848.  In  1849  he  married  Miss 
Catherine  Gatter  of  Wurtemberg,  Germany.  In  that  year  also  he  was  ap- 
pointed demonstrator  of  anatomy  in  Rush  Medical  College  and  in  1855 
professor  of  anatomy.  He  continued  to  occupy  this  chair  until  1859.  On 
the  reorganization  of  the  college  in  that  year,  he  was  transferred  to  the  chair 
of  physiology  and  microscopic  anatomy,  which  position  he  held  until  his 
death.  He  succeeded  Dr.  J.  V.  Z.  Blaney  as  president  of  the  college  in  1872. 

Dr.  Freer  was  a  member  of  the  medical  staff  of  Mercy  Hospital  and  of 
Cook  County  Hospital,  from  the  time  of  its  organization  until  his  death.  He 
spent  several  summers  in  Europe,  returning  each  winter  to  deliver  his  course 
of  lectures. 

Dr.  Freer  died  April  12,  1877.  Two  of  his  sons  became  physicians,  Paul 
Caspar  Freer,  a  noted  chemist,  who  died  in  1912,  and  Dr.  Otto  T.  Freer, 
laryngologist,  of  Chicago. 

"Dr.  Freer  was  a  man  of  fine  character  and  quick  perception,"  says  Dr. 
John  Edwin  Rhodes.  "Dignified  and  undemonstrative,  he  was  a  superior 
teacher  who  left  his  impress  upon  students  as  one  who  knew  and  had  the 
faculty  of  imparting  knowledge  to  others." 

NATHAN     SMITH     DAVIS 
(1817-1904) 

"Untiring,  irrepressible,  uncompromising  and  incorruptible,  Nathan  Smith 
Davis  occupied  for  half  a  century  a  shining  place  in  the  foremost  rank  of  the 
medical  profession  of  the  United  States." 

His  pupil,  Dr.  Henry  T.  Byford,  thus  characterized  the  "Father  of  the 
American  Medical  Association,"  who  was  one  of  the  city's  great  men.  In

the  families  of  older  Chicago  his  name  is  a  household  word  and  these  are 
some  of  the  many  reasons  why : 

He  founded  the  institution  now  known  as  Mercy  Hospital,  being  for  nearly 
forty  years  the  senior  member  of  the  attending  staff. 

He  helped  to  establish  Northwestern  University. 

He  was  one  of  the  organizers  of  the  Chicago  Medical  College  and  for  more 
than  forty  years  was  connected  with  its  faculty. 

He  assisted  in  the  founding  of  the  Illinois  State  and  Chicago  Medical 
societies;  he  was  president  of  the  former  one  term  and  of  the  latter  three 
terms. 

He  led  in  the  formation  of  the  American  Medical  Association,  which  at  once 
made  for  the  advancement  of  educational  and  professional  standards,  and  was 
president  of  the  organization  in  1864  and  1865. 

He  was  pre-eminently  a  family  physician  in  the  old  and  best  sense  of  the 
term. 

Dr.  Davis  was  born  in  Greene,  Chenango  County,  N.  Y.,  January  9,  1817. 
He  was  graduated  from  the  College  of  Physicians  of  Western  New  York  at 
Fairfield  in  1837.  His  first  practice  was  as  partner  of  Dr.  Daniel  Chatfield  of 
Vienna,  N.  Y.  Here  in  1838  he  married  Miss  Anna  Maria  Parker.  Moving  to 
Binghamton,  Dr.  Davis  soon  became  prominent  in  Broome  County  affairs. 

From  1843  to  1846  he  represented  the  county  medical  society  in  the  state 
medical  organization.  In  the  latter  body,  in  1843,  Dr.  Davis  offered  resolu- 
tions calling  for  a  lengthening  and  grading  of  the  medical  course  of  instruc- 
tion. Discussion  of  the  resolutions  led  to  the  calling  of  a  national  medical 
convention  in  New  York  in  1846  and  this  was  the  beginning  of  the  American 
Medical  Association.  Dr.  Davis'  activities  in  behalf  of  the  organization  at 
this  time  earned  for  him  the  name  of  "Father  of  the  Association." 

Dr.  Davis  moved  to  New  York  City  in  1847.  At  that  time  he  became 
teacher  of  anatomy  in  the  College  of  Physicians  and  Surgeons.  At  Dr.  Daniel 
Brainard's  invitation,  Dr.  Davis  came  to  Chicago  in  1849  to  assume  the  pro- 
fessorship of  physiology  and  general  pathology  in  Rush  Medical  College. 
Later  Dr.  Davis  was  transferred  to  the  chair  of  principles  and  practice  of 
medicine  and  clinical  medicine.  In  1850  he  delivered  a  course  of  six  lectures, 
charging  a  small  fee.  The  proceeds  he  used  to  establish  a  hospital  of  twelve 
beds  out  of  which  grew  Mercy  Hospital.  For  nearly  forty  years  Dr.  Davis 
was  senior  member  of  the  attending  staff. 

During  his  career  at  Rush  Medical  College  Dr.  Davis  vigorously  persisted 
in  his  advocacy  of  the  lengthening  and  grading  of  the  medical  course.  In 
this  he  encountered  strong  opposition  from  Dr.  Brainard.  Their  differences 
led  to  the  secession  of  Dr.  Davis  and  his  friends  and  to  establishment  bj  the 
latter  in  1859  of  the  Chicago  Medical  College.  For  more  than  forty  years  Dr. 
Davis  was  a  member  of  the  faculty  of  this  school  and  its  successor,  North- 
western University  Medical  School.  In  the  closing  years  of  his  life  he  was 
dean  and  professor  emeritus  of  the  principles  and  practice  of  surgery. 

Dr.  Davis  was  an  organizer  of  both  the  Illinois  State  and  Chicago  Medical 
societies.  He  was  president  of  the  former  in  1855  and  of  the  latter  for  three 
terms,  1854-55,  1855-56  and  1857-58. 

He  was  one  of  the  founders  of  Northwestern  University,  the  Chicago 
Academy  of. Sciences,  the  Chicago  Historical  Society,  the  Illinois  State  Mic- 
roscopical Society  and  the  Washingtonian  Home. 


50  HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO 

In  1883,  when  the  Journal  of  the  American  Medical  Association  was 
changed  from  a  yearly  to  a  weekly  issue,  Dr.  Davis  was  selected  as  its  editor. 
He  held  the  position  for  six  years. 

At  other  times  he  was  editor  of  the  Chicago  Medical  Journal  (1855-59),  the 
Northwestern  Medical  and  Surgical  Journal,  the  Eclectic  Journal  of  Educa- 
tion and  Literary  Review  and  the  American  Medical  Temperance  Quarterly. 
In  1860  he  founded  the  Chicago  Medical  Examiner  and  edited  it  until  it  was 
merged  with  the  Chicago  Medical  Journal  in  1873. 

Among  Dr.  Davis'  published  writings  were  a  text  book  entitled  "Lectures 
on  the  Principles  and  Practice  of  Medicine,"  "A  History  of  Medical  Education 
and  Institutions  of  the  United  States,"  and  "Clinical  Lectures  on  Various 
Important  Diseases,"  edited  by  his  son,  Dr.  Frank  H.  Davis.  An  ardent  sup- 
porter of  temperance,  which  was  one  of  his  favorite  topics  in  writing  and 
lecturing,  he  strongly  opposed  the  use  of  alcoholic  liquors  in  medical  treat- 
ment. 

Dr.  Davis  was  secretary  general  of  the  Executive  Committee  of  the  Inter- 
national Medical  Congress  held  in  Washington  in  1887.  Later  he  became  its 
president. 

"Dr.  Davis'  capacity  for  effort  was  extraordinary,"  says  his  biographer,  Dr. 
Byford.  "His  private  practice  and  consultation  work  were  enough  to  absorb 
the  energies  of  an  ordinary  man ;  his  college,  hospital  and  medical  organiza- 
tion work  were  enough  for  another;  while  his  editorial  duties,  his  medical 
writings  and  scattered  work  on  temperance  and  other  public  reforms  would 
be  considered  sufficient  to  take  up  the  time  of  still  another.  Every  moment 
not  utilized  in  sleep  was  utilized  in  work.  Such  was  his  devotion  to  his  pro- 
fession and  so  ardent  was  his  desire  to  accomplish  his  ideals  he  could  not  bear 
to  think  of  amusements  and  vacations. 

"Different  kinds  of  work  constituted  all  the  change  he  required.  He  was 
glad  to  get  home  at  night  from  the  cares  of  his  practice  to  the  peace  of  his 
editorial  or  other  literary  work  and  in  the  morning  he  was  glad  to  see  his 
patients  again.  The  world  is  changing.  This  type  of  man  is  becoming  a 
rarity.  It  is  good  for  us  to  preserve  the  records  of  such  lives  that  we  may 
compare  notes  and  have  a  standard  for  self  criticism  in  these  days  that  are  so 
different." 

Both  of  Dr.  Davis'  sons  became  physicians.  The  elder,  Dr.  Frank  H.  Davis, 
showed  promise,  but  died  after  about  ten  years  of  practice.  The  younger  son, 
Dr.  N.  S.  Davis,  II,  was  associated  with  his  father  in  practice  and  succeeded 
him  in  Northwestern  University  Medical  School. 

Dr.  Davis  died  June  16,  1904. 


WILLIAM     HEATH     BYFORD 
(1817-1890) 

Dr.  William  Heath  Byford,  pioneer  in  the  medical  education  of  women,  was 
almost  wholly  self-educated.  He  never  attended  a  school  other  than  a  medi- 
cal college  more  than  a  year  altogether,  yet  he  became,  not  only  the  foremost 
gynecologist  of  his  day  in  the  Middle  West,  but  a  remarkably  well-informed 
man  on  a  large  number  of  subjects.  Not  only  was  he  a  prolific  writer,  but 
also  a  master  of  the  literature  of  two  foreign  tongues. 


HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO  51 

He  was  born  at  Eaton,  Ohio,  March  20,  1817,  the  eldest  of  three  children 
of  Henry  T.  and  Hannah  Byford.  His  father  dying-  when  he  was  nine  years 
old,  the  future  physician  was  obliged  to  employ  himself  at  such  work  as  he 
could  find.  AVhen  fourteen  years  old,  he  was  apprenticed  to  a  tailor  and  spent 
the  ensuing  six  years  in  mastering  his  trade  and  acquiring  such  knowledge  of 
books  as  was  possible. 

At  the  age  of  eighteen  years  he  determined  to  become  a  physician  and 
chose  as  his  preceptor  Dr.  Joseph  Maddox  of  Vincennes,  Indiana.  Not  long 
after  the  termination  of  his  apprenticeship  he  was  examined  by  a  commission 
and  granted  a  license  to  practice  medicine. 

Dr.  Byford's  professional  career  began  in  Owensville,  Ind.,  in  1838.  Two 
years  later  he  moved  to  Mount  Vernon  in  the  same  state,  where  in  1840  he 
married  Miss  Mary  Ann  Holland,  the  daughter  of  Dr.  Hezekiah  Holland. 
During  his  stay  in  this  town  he  studied  medicine  in  the  Ohio  Medical  College, 
from  which  he  was  graduated  in  1845. 

After  teaching  for  several  years  in  the  Evansville  (Ind.)  Medical  College, 
Dr.  Byford  in  1857  received  a  call  to  the  chair  of  obstetrics  and  diseases  of 
women  in  Rush  Medical  College.  Two  years  later  he  joined  with  Dr.  N.  S. 
Davis  and  others  in  founding  the  Chicago  Medical  College,  where  for  twenty 
years  he  occupied  the  chair  of  obstetrics  and  diseases  of  women.  In  1879  he 
was  recalled  to  Rush  Medical  College  to  fill  the  chair  of  gynecology,  which 
had  been  created  especially  for  him. 

Throughout  his  professional  life  Dr.  Byford  had  been  an  ardent  champion 
of  medical  education  for  women  and  he  participated  in  founding  the  Woman's 
Hospital  Medical  College  of  Chicago  in  1870,  later  to  become  the  Woman's 
Medical  College  and  still  later  Northwestern  University  Woman's  Medical 
School.  To  this  institution  he  made  many  liberal  donations.  He  was  presi- 
dent of  the  faculty  from  the  time  of  its  founding  until  his  death. 

As  a  worker  in  medical  societies  he  was  also  active,  as  early  as  1857  being 
elected  vice-president  of  the  American  Medical  Association.  In  1876  he  was 
one  of  the  organizers  of  the  American  Gynecological  Society  and  two  years 
later  of  the  Chicago  Gynecological  Society.  He  was  also  a  life  member  of 
the  British  Gynecological  Society.  Medical  journalism  also  owes  much  to 
him,  for  he  was  editor  of  the  Chicago  Medical  Journal  and  later  of  the 
Chicago  Medical  Journal  and  Examiner. 

Dr.  Byford's  first  publication  was  a  paper  on  "Caesarean  Sections"  in  1847. 
His  later  published  works  included  "Chronic  Inflammation  and  Displace- 
ments of  the  Unimpregnated  Uterus,"  "Practice  of  Medicine  and  Surgery 
Applied  to  the  Diseases  and  Accidents  of  Women"  and  "Treatise  on  the 
Theory  and  Practice  of  Obstetrics." 

He  was  one  of  the  first  to  observe  that  the  contents  of  pelvic  abscesses  often 
become  encysted  and  undergo  subsequent  alterations  without  being  dis- 
charged ;  to  advocate  laparotomy  for  the  relief  of  rupture  of  the  uterus  in 
cases  of  extra-uterine  pregnancy ;  to  employ  ergot  for  the  expulsion  of  uterine 
fibroids,  and,  in  the  enucleation  of  cysts  of  the  broad  ligament,  to  advise  the 
termination  of  the  operation  by  stitching  the  amputated  cyst  walls  to  the 
edges  of  the  abdominal  wound. 

Dr.  Byford's  wife  died  in  1865.  Eight  years  later  he  married  Miss  Lina  W. 
Flersheim,  who,  with  two  sons  and  three  daughters  of  the  first  marriage, 
survived  him.  The  sons,  Dr.  William  H.  Byford,  Jr.,  of  Minneapolis,  and

Dr.  Henry  T.  Byford  of  Chicago,  followed  in  the  footsteps  of  their  father; 
the  daughters  were  Mrs.  Anna  Byford  Leonard,  Mrs.  Mary  B.  Schuyler  and 
Mrs.  Maud  B.  Van  Schaack. 

Three  days  before  his  death  Dr.  Byford  performed  a  laparotomy  and  even 
on  the  last  day  he  went  to  work  as  usual.  He  succumbed  to  angina  pectoris, 
May  21,  1890. 

SAMUEL     GLASGOW     ARMOR 
(1818-1885) 

Among  the  pioneer  teachers  of  medicine  in  Chicago  stands  Dr.  Samuel 
Glasgow  Armor  who,  in  1846,  was  a  lecturer  at  Rush  Medical  College.  In 
later  years  he  was  to  become,  at  Detroit,  a  partner  of  Moses  Gunn  and,  in 
New  York,  the  successor,  as  a  teacher,  to  the  famous  Austin  Flint. 

Dr.  Armor  was  born  in  Washington  County,  Pa.,  January  20,  1818.  He 
read  medicine  in  Millersburg,  Ohio,  and  was  graduated  from  the  Missouri 
Medical  College  in  1844.  While  practicing  at  Rockford,  111.,  Dr.  Armor  at- 
tracted the  attention  of  Dr.  Daniel  Brainard  and,  at  the  latter's  invitation, 
delivered  a  course  of  lectures  on  physiology  at  Rush  Medical  College.  Later, 
having  previously  accepted  the  chair  of  physiology  and  pathology  in  the 
medical  department  of  the  University  of  Iowa,  he  declined  the  proffer  by 
Dr.  Brainard  of  the  same  position  in  Rush  Medical  College. 

After  leaving  the  Iowa  institution,  where  he  taught  for  a  brief  period,  Dr. 
Armor  lectured  successively  at  the  University  of  Cleveland,  the  Ohio  Medical 
College  and  the  University  of  Michigan.  In  1856  he  married  a  Miss  Holcomb 
of  Dayton,  Ohio.  While  living  in  Detroit  he  became  the  partner  of  Dr.  Moses 
Gunn. 

In  1866,  at  the  end  of  five  years,  he  accepted  the  chair  of  therapeutics, 
materia  medica  and  general  pathology  in  the  Medical  College  of  Long  Island 
Hospital.  There  Dr.  Armor  succeeded  Professor  Austin  Flint  as  professor  of 
practice  and  clinical  medicine.  He  retained  this  position  until  his  death  in 
1885. 

DE     LASKIE     MILLER 
(1818-1903) 

President  of  the  Chicago  Medical  Society,  for  thirty  years  professor  of 
obstetrics  and  diseases  of  women  and  children  at  Rush  Medical  College  and 
sometime  president  of  the  board  of  trustees  of  that  institution  were  some  of 
the  positions  held  by  Dr.  De  Laskie  Miller. 

He  was  born  in  Niagara  county,  New  York,  May  29,  1818.  He  was  grad- 
uated from  Geneva  Medical  College  in  1842  and  his  first  practice  was  at 
Lockport,  New  York.  Later  he  moved  to  Flint,  Michigan,  where  he  remained 
until  the  autumn  of  1852.  At  that  time  he  came  to  Chicago. 

In  the  cholera  epidemic  of  1854  he  was  instrumental  in  the  erection  of  the 
first  city  hospital  and  was  appointed  physician  and  surgeon  in  charge.  In 
1859  he  accepted  the  chair  of  obstetrics  and  diseases  of  women  and  children 
in  Rush  Medical  College.  This  he  retained  for  thirty  years. 

In  1881  he  was  a  delegate  to  the  seventh  International  Medical  Congress  at 
London  and  in  1887  he  was  president  of  the  obstetrical  section  of  that  body 
when  its  convention  was  held  in  Washington,  D.  C. 


54  HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO 

Dr.  Miller  was  elected  president  of  the  board  of  trustees  of  Rush  Medical 
College  in  1889.  He  was  obstetrician  to  St.  Luke's,  Cook  County,  Presby- 
terian and  Michael  Reese  hospitals  and  consulting  physician  to  the  Woman's 
Hospital,  The  Home  for  the  Friendless  and  the  Home  for  Incurables. 

He  was  a  member  of  the  national  and  local  medical  societies  and  in  1856  he 
was  president  of  the  Chicago  Medical  Society.  He  was  president  of  the 
Chicago  Gynecological  Society  in  1881. 

He  obtained  the  highest  honors  in  the  Masonic  fraternity,  having  received 
the  Knight's  Templar  degree  of  the  York  rite  and  the  thirty-third  degree  of 
the  supreme  council  of  the  Scottish  rite. 

He  died  July  9,  1903. 


WILLIAM     EDWARD     CLARKE 
(1819-1898) 

That  he  was  the  first  to  discover  the  value  of  ether  as  an  anaesthetic  is  the 
claim  made  for  Dr.  William  Edward  Clarke,  who  was  president  of  the 
Chicago  Medical  Society,  1875-76.  It  is  said  that  Dr.  Clarke  administered 
ether  for  the  extraction  of  a  tooth  in  January,  1842.  This  was  two  months 
before  Dr.  Crawford  Long  of  Georgia,  and  almost  three  years  before  Dr. 
Horace  Wells  of  Hartford,  Conn.,  made  their  first  announcements  as  to  the 
use  of  ether  as  an  anaesthetic. 

Dr.  Clarke  was  born  at  Lebanon,  Conn.,  February  22,  1819.  Until  his 
fourteenth  year  his  education  was  almost  wholly  under  the  supervision  of 
his  mother,  who  was  a  highly  cultivated  woman  of  decided  Christian  char- 
acter. She  was  a  descendant  of  Jonathan  Edwards,  the  noted  preacher  and 
president  of  Princeton  College.  He  was  graduated  from  the  Medical  College 
of  the  University  of  Vermont  in  1845,  having  three  years  previously  made 
his  discovery  as  to  the  anaesthetic  value  of  ether. 

Dr.  Clarke  practiced  medicine  at  Rochester,  N.  Y.,  two  years  before  his 
removal  to  Marshall,  Michigan,  in  1847.  In  the  latter  community  he  pur- 
sued his  profession  until  the  outbreak  of  the  Civil  War,  when,  as  surgeon  of 
the  Fourth  Michigan  Infantry,  he  entered  the  conflict,  participating  in  the 
Peninsular  campaign  under  General  McClellan.  At  the  request  of  his  cousin, 
Colonel  N.  C.  Gilbert,  of  the  Nineteenth  Michigan  Infantry,  he  was  trans- 
ferred to  that  regiment. 

In  1863  he  was  placed  in  charge  of  Carver  General  Hospital  in  Washington, 
D.  C.,  where  he  remained  until  the  close  of  the  war.  Dr.  Clarke  then  pro- 
ceeded to  Chicago,  where,  for  more  than  thirty  years,  he  was  engaged  in  prac- 
tice. He  was  for  many  years  a  member  of  the  consulting  staff  of  the  Mary 
Thompson  and  Presbyterian  hospitals.  He  was  president  of  the  Chicago 
Medical  Society  in  1875.  Dr.  Clarke  was  for  twenty-seven  years  a  deacon  of 
the  First  Congregational  Church. 

In  1849  Dr.  Clarke  married  Miss  Harriet  Hale  of  Marshall,  Mich.,  who  died 
in  1864.  In  1865  he  married  Miss  Mary  L.  Reed  of  Lake  Forest.  There  were 
two  children  of  the  latter  marriage,  William  E.  Clarke,  Jr.,  and  Miss  Grace 
Clarke,  who  was  married  to  Glenn  E.  Plumb. 

Dr.  Clarke  died  at  River  Forest  March  22,  1898.

EZRA     SLOCUM     CARR 
(1819-1894) 

For  three  years  professor  of  chemistry  at  Rush  Medical  College,  Dr.  Ezra 
Slocum  Carr  left  his  impress  upon  medical  life  in  Chicago. 

He  was  born  in  Stephenstown,  N.  Y.,  March  19,  1819,  and  was  graduated 
from  Castleton  (Vt.)  Medical  College  in  1842.  For  twelve  years  he  was  pro- 
fessor of  chemistry  and  pharmacy  in  that  institution.  He  held  the  same  posi- 
tion in  the  Philadelphia  Medical  College,  alternating  between  the  two  schools. 
He  received  honorary  degrees  from  Williams  and  Middlebury  colleges  and 
was  acting  professor  of  natural  sciences  in  the  latter  in  1853-54. 

In  1854  Dr.  Carr  was  appointed  professor  of  chemistry  and  pharmacy  in 
the  Albany  Medical  College.  He  was  also  chemist  of  the  State  Agricultural 
Society  of  New  York. 

As  professor  of  chemistry  Dr.  Carr  went  to  the  University  of  Wisconsin  in 
1856.  While  at  the  university  he  was  appointed  commissioner  of  the  state 
geological  survey.  He  organized  the  survey  and  enriched  the  university  by 
making  a  complete  collection  of  the  soil  and  minerals  of  the  state.  After  nine 
years'  service  in  Wisconsin  Dr.  Carr  came  to  Rush  Medical  College  in  1865  as 
professor  of  chemistry.  He  resigned  in  1868  and  removed  to  California.  In 
1869  he  was  appointed  professor  of  agriculture,  chemistry  and  horticulture  at 
the  University  of  California  and  six  years  later  he  was  elected  superintendent 
of  public  instruction  at  the  University  of  California. 

Dr.  Carr  was  a  member  of  the  American  Association  for  the  Advancement 
of  Science  from  the  time  of  its  organization  and  was  a  frequent  contributor 
to  medical  and  educational  journals.  He  was  a  friend  of  John  Muir,  the 
famous  naturalist  of  California. 

Dr.  Carr  died  on  his  estate  near  Pasadena,  November  27,  1894. 

GEORGE     ELIAS     SHIPMAN 
(1820-1893) 

In  an  obituary  written  by  one  of  his  brother  physicians,  Dr.  George  E. 
Shipman  was  designated  as  "one  of  the  veteran,  valiant  knights  of  home- 
opathy and  a  defender  of  the  faith  when  to  be  a  follower  of  Hahnemann  im- 
plied persecution  and  misrepresentation,"  and  another  confrere  wrote  that 
"he  was,  without  doubt,  the  ablest  defender  and  scholar  the  cause  of  home- 
opathy ever  had  in  the  West."  This  reputation  followed  him  to  the  day  of 
his  death. 

George  E.  Shipman  was  born  in  New  York  City,  March  4,  1820.  His 
father  was  a  prosperous  Wall  Street  broker  and  his  mother  a  sister  of  Dr. 
Edward  Payson  of  Portland,  Maine,  a  noted  divine  of  that  period. 

He  first  attended  Middlebury  College,  but  in  1839  was  graduated  from  the 
University  of  New  York,  studying  medicine  under  Prof.  Alfred  C.  Post.  The 
family  physician  of  the  Shipman  household  at  that  time  was  Dr.  F.  Vanden- 
burg,  who  captured  the  young  student  for  the  cause  of  homeopathy.  There 
were  few  books  treating  of  this  new  school  of  medicine  and,  as  they  were  in 
the  German  language,  he  immediately  applied  himself  to  the  mastery  of  that 
tongue. 

In  1845  he  married  Miss  Fannie  E.  Boardman  of  Connecticut  and  brought 
his  bride  to  Andover,  Illinois.  The  doors,  windows  and  blinds  for  their  new 
home  were  sent  from  New  York  by  way  of  New  Orleans  up  the  Mississippi

and  this  frame  cottage,  with  its  coat  of  paint,  was  such  a  contrast  to  its  log- 
house  neighbors,  that  it  was  derisively  called  "Shipman  Palace." 

After  enduring  the  hardships  of  pioneer  life  for  more  than  a  year,  he  came, 
in  the  fall  of  1846,  to  Chicago,  living  for  a  number  of  years  on  the  north- 
west corner  of  Washington  and  La  Salle  streets.  Here  he  devoted  himself 
to  his  profession,  serving  the  cause  as  editor  and  professor,  as  well  as  prac- 
ticing physician. 

When,  in  1855,  Dr.  D.  S.  Smith,  through  the  influence  of  friends,  secured 
a  charter  for  Hahnemann  Medical  College,  Dr.  Shipman  was  chosen  one  of 
the  trustees  and  was  also  elected  to  fill  the  chair  of  materia  medica  and 
therapeutics.  He  was  editor  of  the  Northwestern  Journal  of  Homeopathia 
in  1848-52,  of  the  American  Journal  of  Materia  Medica  in  1860  and  of  the 
United  States  Medical  and  Surgical  Journal  in  1865-69. 

His  translations  were  Granvogl's  "Text  Book  of  Homeopathy"  and  the 
"Law  of  Similarity"  from  the  German,  Panelli's  "Typhoid  Fever"  from  the 
Italian,  and  Parrott's  "Urine  of  the  Newborn"  from  the  French. 

But  the  greatest  achievement  of  Dr.  Shipman's  life  was  the  founding  of 
a  home  for  abandoned  infants,  known  as  the  Chicago  Foundlings'  Home. 
For  several  years  he  was  family  physician  to  Detective  Pinkerton  of  Civil 
War  fame,  and,  one  night,  was  called  to  attend  a  half-frozen  baby  that  his 
men  had  found  along  the  river.  On  inquiring  where  the  baby  could  be  cared 
for,  he  was  told  that  there  was  no  refuge  for  such  in  the  city,  and  that  the 
coroner  held  an  inquest  on  one  such  outcast  each  day  of  the  year,  on  an 
average.  The  crying  need  of  a  home  for  these  waifs  forced  itself  upon  him 
and,  failing  to  interest  any  of  his  wealthy  patients  in  the  project,  he  felt 
the  task  was  his,  and  bravely  set  about  it,  notwithstanding  his  lack  of  capital 
for  such  an  undertaking.  With  $177.38  in  hand,  he  opened  the  home  January 
30,  1871,  in  half  of  an  old  frame  house  on  Green  Street,  near  Madison,  be- 
lieving that  the  Lord  would  provide  for  it.  In  this  belief  he  was  not  dis- 
appointed, for  the  institution  now  occupies  an  eighty-room  brick  building, 
with  no  encumbrance,  and  shelters  and  cares  for  a  large  family  each  year. 

For  the  first  nine  years  of  the  work,  only  infants  were  admitted,  but  Dr. 
Shipman,  discovering  his  mistake,  began  to  insist  on  the  mother's  coming 
in  with  the  child.  He  also  admitted  the  homeless,  penniless,  pregnant  girls, 
and,  in  the  fifty-one  years  of  its  existence,  the  home  has  cared  for  7,928 
adults  and  11,163  infants.  Of  this  latter  number  2,165  have  been  placed  in 
homes  of  adoption. 

On  December  12,  1892,  Dr.  Shipman  was  prostrated  by  an  attack  of  hemi- 
plegia,  from  which  he  never  recovered,  passing  away  on  January  19,  1893, 
leaving  a  wife  and  eight  children. 

JAMES  VAN  ZANDT  BLANEY 
(1820-1874) 

On  behalf  of  Dr.  James  Van  Zandt  Blaney  it  is  claimed  that  he  discovered 
and  demonstrated  the  value  of  chloroform  independently  of  Sir  James  Y. 
Simpson  of  Edinburgh. 

The  experiments,  it  is  said,  were  conducted  concurrently,  each  scientist 
being  ignorant  of  the  activities  of  the  other.  The  findings  of  Dr.  Blaney 
were  announced  shortly  after  those  of  Sir  James  Y.  Simpson's  were  made 
public. 


58  HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO 

Dr.  Blaney  was  born  at  Newcastle,  Del.,  May  1,  1820.  He  was  gradu- 
ated from  Princeton  College  in  1836  and  from  the  Medical  Department  of 
the  University  of  Pennsylvania  in  1842.  In  the  fall  of  1842  he  came  to 
Chicago  and  began  the  practice  of  medicine. 

Dr.  Blaney  joined  Dr.  Daniel  Brainard  when  the  latter  founded  Rush 
Medical  College  in  1843.  He  occupied  three  chairs  in  that  institution,  chem- 
istry, pharmacy  and  materia  medica.  He  was  the  first  man  in  Chicago  to 
devote  his  attention  to  chemistry.  He  later  acquired  a  reputation  as  an 
expert  chemist  and  medico-legal  expert  in  cases  of  poisoning. 

While  affiliated  with  Rush  Medical  College  in  its  early  days,  Dr.  Blaney: 
Founded  and  edited  the  Northwestern  Medical  and  Surgical  Journal. 
Helped  to  organize  the  board  of  education  of  which,  for  years,  he  was 
a  member. 

Formed  an  expedition  for  geological  exploration  in  the  Lake  Superior 
region. 

Organized  another  expedition  to  explore  the  coal  fields  of  Illinois. 
Aided   in   the  organization   of  the   Chicago   Medical   and   Illinois   State 
Medical  societies,  being  president  of  the  latter  in  1870. 
Demonstrated  the  value  of  chloroform  as  an  anaesthetic. 
Held,  while  at  Rush  Medical  College,  the  chair  of  chemistry  in  North- 
western University. 

Invented  synthetic  fruit  flavors  which  later  came  into  general  use  at 
soda  fountains. 

At  the  outbreak  of  the  Civil  War  he  was  appointed  surgeon  of  volunteers 
with  the  rank  of  major.  He  was  designated  medical  director  and  inspector  of 
hospitals,  continuing  as  such  until  the  end  of  the  war.  Dr.  Blaney  was 
mustered  out  of  service  with  the  rank  of  lieutenant  colonel. 

He  resumed  his  activities  at  Rush  Medical  College  and  upon  the  death  of 
Dr.  Brainard  in  1866  he  was  elected  president  of  the  school.  Failing  health 
compelled  him  to  resign  in  1871.  He  died  December  11,  1874. 

Dr.  Blaney  married  Miss -Clarissa  Butler,  niece  of  General  Benjamin  F. 
Butler,  July  8,  1847. 

JOHN     E.     McGIRR 

(1820-1870) 

Dr.  John  E.  McGirr  was  one  of  the  most  scholarly  men  in  the  medical 
profession  of  his  time  in  Chicago.  His  experiments  in  the  inoculation  of 
measles,  with  the  hope  of  producing  an  immunity  through  a  mild  attack  as 
had  been  done  in  smallpox,  were  the  first  recorded  efforts  to  study  in  Chicago 
one  of  the  infectious  diseases  by  experimental  methods. 

He  was  a  son  of  Dr.  Patrick  McGirr,  who  was  born  in  Ireland  in  1787  and 
educated  in  Dublin,  London  and  Edinburgh,  emigrated  as  a  young  man  to 
America  and  settled  at  Youngstown,  Pa.,  where  he  practiced  medicine  until 
1847,  when  he  came  to  Chicago.  Dr.  Patrick  McGirr  was  a  splendid  example 
of  the  cultured  physician  of  the  old  school. 

Dr.  John  E.  McGirr  was  born  in  Youngstown,  Pa.,  in  1820.  In  1840  he 
was  graduated  from  St.  Mary's  College,  Emmittsburgh,  Pa.  In  1846  he 
studied  medicine  in  the  University  of  Pennsylvania,  and  a  year  later  was 
graduated  from  Rush  Medical  College,  Chicago.  A  few  months  after  his 


HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO  59 

graduation  he  published  a  very  good  article  on  the  new  use  of  ether  in  mid- 
wifery, and  in  the  following  year  other  creditable  papers  on  obstetrical  topics. 
In  1851  he  reported  the  results  of  experiments  in  the  inoculation  of  measles, 
which  were  probably  the  earliest  efforts  to  apply  experimental  methods  to 
the  study  of  infectious  diseases  in  Chicago.  As  early  as  1849  he  was  professor 
of  anatomy,  physiology,  hygiene,  chemistry  and  botany  in  the  University  of 
St.  Mary's  of  the  Lake.  He  also  delivered  a  series  of  lectures  on  physiology 
and  hygiene  for  the  students  in  the  Mechanics'  Institute. 

Besides  his  medical  work,  he  also  studied  law,  being  admitted  to  the  bar 
in  1852,  and  to  the  United  States  Circuit  and  District  courts  in  1854.  He  was 
a  member  of  a  committee  whose  favorable  report  in  1852  led  to  the  formation 
of  a  high  school  in  Chicago.  He  wrote  a  life  of  the  Rt.  Rev.  William  Quarter, 
the  first  Catholic  Bishop  of  Chicago,  who  died  in  1848. 

Dr.  McGirr  was  one  of  the  founders  of  Mercy  Hospital.  His  sister,  Sister 
Mary  Vincent  McGirr,  was  the  first  superior  of  Mercy  Hospital. 

During  the  epidemic  of  cholera  in  1854,  he  contracted  the  disease,  and 
because  of  subsequent  ill-health  he  returned  to  Pennsylvania  and  lived  on  a 
farm  for  five  years. 

At  the  beginning  of  the  civil  war  he  entered  the  Union  Army  as  surgeon. 
He  served  during  the  war,  occupying  important  positions  in  the  hospitals  and 
was  given  the  honor  of  brevet  major.  At  the  end  of  the  war  he  returned  to 
Pittsburgh,  but  the  exactions  of  a  large  practice  soon  undermined  his  health 
and  he  died  October  23,  1870. 


CHARLES     HARVEY     QUINLAN 
(1821-1897) 

The  distinction  of  having  been  the  first  to  administer  an  anaesthetic  in 
Chicago — in  fact,  west  of  the  Alleghanies — belongs  to  Dr.  Charles  Harvey 
Quinlan,  one  of  the  city's  earliest  dentists  and  later  a  medical  practitioner. 

This  momentous  event  in  Chicago's  medical  history  took  place  in  1846, 
shortly  after  the  arrival  of  Dr.  Quinlan  in  the  city.  The  discovery  of  the 
formula  of  sulphuric  ether  (then  known  as  letheon)  by  Dr.  Wells  in  Boston, 
with  full  instructions  as  to  its  manufacture  and  use,  had  been  sent  to  Dr. 
Charles  W.  Harvey,  a  practicing  dentist  in  Buffalo,  and  an  uncle  of  Dr. 
Quinlan.  Dr.  Harvey  in  turn  transmitted  the  formula  to  his  nephew. 

A  practical  test  was  given  at  Rush  Medical  College  in  an  amputation  of  a 
finger  performed  by  Dr.  Daniel  Brainard,  head  of  and  professor  of  surgery 
in  the  college,  and  Dr.  Quinlan  was  invited  by  the  faculty  to  administer  the 
anaesthetic.  This  he  did  with  most  satisfactory  results.  The  demonstration 
was  given  before  a  crowded  clinic,  and  the  press  of  Chicago  was  profuse  in 
the  number  and  quality  of  its  notices. 

Shortly  afterward  chloroform  was  discovered  and  the  formula  for  its 
distillation  was  procured  by  Dr.  Quinlan.  He  and  Dr.  J.  V.  Z.  Blaney 
(almost  at  the  same  time  and  independently  of  each  other)  were  the  first 
to  distill  this  anaesthetic  in  Chicago. 

Dr.  Quinlan,  the  second  son  of  John  D.  and  Elizabeth  Harvey  Quinlan,  was 
born  February  19,  1821,  in  Albany,  N.  Y.  Following  his  education  in  the 
public  schools  of  his  native  city  and  at  Albany  Academy,  he  entered  the  office

of  his  uncle,  Dr.  Harvey,  in  Buffalo,  as  a  dental  student  in  1842.    Four  years 
were  spent  in  acquiring  a  knowledge  of  dentistry. 

In  September,  1846,  Dr.  Quinlan  married  Miss  Ruth  Efner  of  Buffalo  and 
removed  to  Chicago,  where  he  began  the  practice  of  dentistry.  He  continued 
in  practice  until  1865,  when  he  received  a  medical  degree  from  Rush  Medical 
College.  In  1848  he  was  joined  by  a  brother,  Dr.  John  D.  Quinlan,  who  was 
associated  with  him  until  he  changed  from  dentistry  to  medicine. 

In  1859  Dr.  Charles  H.  Quinlan  moved  to  Lake  Forest,  building  the  first 
residence  in  the  north  shore  suburb,  where  he  was  active  in  the  establish- 
ment of  Lake  Forest  University.  From  1865  Dr.  Quinlan  practiced  medicine 
in  Lake  Forest  until  his  removal  to  Evanston  in  1875.  He  then  virtually 
retired  from  practice,  except  for  occasional  consultations. 

Dr.  Quinlan  died  at  his  Evanston  home  December  6,  1897.  A  son,  William 
\V.  Quinlan,  succeeded  him  as  a  member  of  the  medical  profession. 


MOSES     GUNN 
(1822-1887) 

Teacher  at  the  University  of  Michigan,  successor  of  Dr.  Daniel  Brainard 
as  professor  of  surgery  in  Rush  Medical  College,  surgeon  in  the  Union  army, 
Dr.  Moses  Gunn  was  a  brilliant  figure  in  the  professional  and  social  circles  of 
Chicago. 

"He  was  thoroughly  equipped  as  a  surgeon,  quick  and  accurate  in  diagnosis, 
rarely  made  a  mistake  and  was  a  rapid  and  elegant  operator,"  say  the  chron- 
iclers. "He  was  a  fine  lecturer,  fluent  and  to  the  point  and  spoke  in  language 
always  correct.  He  was  tall  and  erect,  a  striking  figure  in  the  amphitheater, 
as  he  was  everywhere.  Throughout  his  career  he  was  thought  by  some  to  be 
guilty  of  marked  fastidiousness,  if  not  a  harmless  vanity — criticism  he  could 
hardly  escape,  as  he  was  given  to  the  most  tasteful,  if  not  striking  costumes, 
especially  on  horseback.  He  always  appeared  with  his  long  hair  wrought 
into  ample  ringlets  that  hung  immaculate  about  his  neck.  But  to  those  near- 
est him  he  was  a  man  of  the  most  serious  purposes  and  perfectly  genuine.  He 
had  fixed  for  himself  a  high  standard  and  his  respect  for  himself  and  his  work 
was  too  great  to  allow  him  ever  to  fall  below  it.  He  carried  himself  through 
his  twenty  years  of  work  in  Rush  Medical  College  on  the  exalted  plane  on 
which  he  began.  He  was  different  from  Professor  Brainard  and  did  not 
attempt  to  dominate  the  faculty ;  but  no  one  could  say  he  was  a  less  useful 
power  in  the  influence  and  councils  of  the  college." 

Dr.  Gunn  was  born  at  East  Bloomfield,  N.  Y.,  April  20,  1822.  He  was 
graduated  from  Geneva  Medical  College  in  1846.  The  same  year  he  began 
practice  at  Ann  Arbor,  Mich.,  and  there  instituted  a  course  of  lectures  on 
anatomy,  the  first  of  their  kind  in  the  state. 

Upon  the  organization  of  the  department  of  medicine  of  the  University  of 
Michigan,  Dr.  Gunn  was  elected  professor  of  anatomy  and  surgery  and  later 
professor  of  surgery.  In  1853  he  removed  to  Detroit  for  practice,  lecturing 
at  the  university  twice  a  week,  adding  to  his  work  in  1857  the  co-editorship  of 
the  Medical  Independent,  a  Detroit  monthly  medical  journal,  merging  in 
1858  with  the  Peninsular  Medical  Journal  under  the  name  of  the  Peninsular 
and  Independent  Medical  Journal. 


62  HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO 

In  the  Civil  war  he  served  as  a  surgeon  under  General  McClellan  in  the 
Peninsular  campaign,  resigning  because  of  dissatisfaction  with  his  superiors 
in  the  medical  corps.  He  was  a  vigorous  supporter,  however,  of  "Little  Mac." 

The  last  class  to  which  Dr.  Gunn  lectured  at  Ann  Arbor  in  1866-67  numbered 
525,  the  largest  medical  class  in  the  country.  In  the  spring  of  1867,  at  the 
invitation  of  the  faculty  and  trustees  of  Rush  Medical  College,  he  accepted 
the  chair  of  surgery  made  vacant  by  the  death  of  Dr.  Daniel  Brainard.  This 
professorship  Dr.  Gunn  held  until  his  death  twenty  years  later. 

"Dr.  Gunn  was  not  only  a  great  surgeon  and  a  great  teacher,"  writes  Dr. 
Arthur  Dean  Bevan,  "but  he  was  also  an  original  thinker  and  a  man  who  con- 
tributed to  the  development  of  surgical  knowledge.  One  of  his  greatest  con- 
tributions was  the  result  of  his  research  work  in  dislocations.  Before  the  dis- 
covery of  anesthesia  surgeons  in  general  believed  that  the  most  important  factor 
in  preventing  the  reduction  of  dislocations  was  that  of  muscular  contraction, 
the  spasmodic  contraction  of  the  muscles  holding  the  bone  firmly  in  its  mis- 
placed position.  After  the  introduction  of  anesthesia  Gunn  found  to  his  sur- 
prise that  the  relaxation  of  the  muscles  obtained  in  complete  ether  anesthesia 
did  not  eliminate  to  any  great  extent  the  difficulties  of  reducing  dislocations. 
He,  therefore,  experimented  on  some  cadavers,  removed  the  muscles,  leaving 
the  bones  and  articulations,  and  then  produced  on  these  cadavers  dislocations 
of  the  shoulder  and  hip  and  studied  the  cases  carefully  to  determine  the  factors 
making  reduction  by  manipulation  difficult.  He  soon  found  that  the  factor 
preventing  reduction  was  mainly  the  untorn  portion  of  the  capsular  ligament 
which  became  tense  as  the  bones  assumed  the  dislocated  position. 

"He  worked  out  the  following  general  principles  in  regard  to  dislocations 
which  have  stood  the  test  of  time  and  proven  to  be  absolutely  correct:  First, 
that  the  main  factor  preventing  reduction  of  dislocations  was  the  untorn  por- 
tion of  the  capsular  ligament  which  became  tense.  Second,  in  order  to  reduce 
a  dislocation  one  must  relax  the  untorn  portion  of  the  capsular  ligament.  This 
was  done  by  placing  the  limb  in  the  position  which  it  occupied  at  the  moment 
of  escape  and  reducing  the  dislocation  by  reversing  the  force  which  produced 
it.  Gunn's  publication  of  his  researches  were  made  in  a  local  Western  medical 
journal  and  were  not  widely  read.  His  work  preceded  that  of  Bigelow  of  Bos- 
ton by  fourteen  years,  and  covers  quite  as  fully  and  quite  as  accurately  the 
work  later  done  by  Bigelow.  Gunn's  contemporaries  recognize  the  fact  that 
the  credit  for  this  work  belonged  to  him.  Hamilton,  in  his  great  work  on 
'Fractures  and  Dislocations,'  gives  Gunn  credit  for  this  early  work." 

Dr.  Gunn  was  a  great  teacher,  and  he  trained  more  surgeons  than  any  surgi- 
cal teacher  in  all  time  in  the  Mississippi  Valley.  It  is  only  necessary  to  give 
the  names  of  a  few  of  his  pupils  to  make  clear  his  right  to  the  title  of  a  great 
master  in  surgery.  He  trained  such  men  as  Charles  T.  Parkes,  John  B.  Mur- 
phy, Lewis  L.  McArthur,  Malcolm  L.  Harris,  Arthur  Dean  Bevan,  Albert  J. 
Ochsner  and  a  host  of  others,  who  have  carried  on  the  torch  which  Gunn 
placed  in  their  hands. 

In  1856  Geneva  Medical  College  conferred  upon  him  her  honorary  A.M.  and 
in  1877  the  University  of  Chicago  her  LL.  D.  Dr.  Gunn  was  a  member  of  the 
American  Medical  Association,  the  Illinois  State  and  Chicago  Medical  socie- 
ties, and  surgeon  to  the  Presbyterian,  St.  Joseph's  and  Cook  County  hospitals. 

In  1848  he  married  Miss  Jane  Augusta  Terry,  who,  with  three  of  their  four 
children,  survived  him.  Dr.  Gunn  died  in  Chicago,  November  4,  1887,  after  a 
long  illness.

JOHN     REID 
(1822-1903) 

President  of  the  Chicago  Medical  Society  in  1871-1872,  Dr.  John  Reid  had 
been  a  war-time  practitioner  in  Chicago  and  later  a  health  officer. 

He  was  born  in  Edinburgh,  Scotland,  June  16,  1822.  He  accompanied  his 
family  to  Toronto  in  1830.  In  1838,  Dr.  Reid,  with  his  family,  moved  to 
Rochester,  New  York.  In  1848  he  was  graduated  from  Jefferson  Medical 
College,  Philadelphia.  There  he  married  Miss  Elizabeth  Fenner  of  Canter- 
bury, England,  and  engaged  in  practice  in  Rochester,  where  Mrs.  Reid  died 
in  1856.  Three  years  later  he  married  Miss  Jane  Brewster  of  Rochester  and 
moved  to  Chicago  in  1861.  Here  he  became  a  general  practitioner.  During 
the  year  of  the  great  fire  he  was  appointed  health  officer  and  at  the  same  time 
he  was  elected  president  of  the  Chicago  Medical  Society. 

Dr.  Reid  was  connected  with  the  health  department  until  1875,  when  the 
failing  health  of  his  wife  compelled  him  to  return  with  her  to  Rochester. 
After  the  death  of  his  wife  in  that  year,  Dr.  Reid  retired  from  practice  and 
finally  died  while  on  a  visit  to  London,  May  14,  1903. 

HOSMER     ALLEN     JOHNSON 
(1822-1891) 

Dr.  Hosmer  A.  Johnson  was  the  first  interne  at  Mercy  Hospital,  and  the 
first  president  of  the  Chicago  Medical  College. 

He  was  born  at  Wales,  near  Buffalo,  N.  Y.,  October  22,  1822.  He  prepared 
for  college  at  the  Academy  of  Romeo,  Michigan,  and  was  graduated  from  the 
University  of  Michigan  in  1849.  From  this  institution  he  received  at  various 
times  the  degrees  of  A.  B.,  A.  M.,  and  LL.  D. 

Moving  to  Chicago  in  1849,  he  studied  medicine  with  Dr.  William  B.  Her- 
rick,  with  whom  he  later  was  associated  in  practice.  In  1852,  he  was  grad- 
uated from  Rush  Medical  College  and  became  the  first  interne  at  Mercy 
Hospital.  From  1853  to  1858,  he  was  a  member  of  the  faculty  of  Rush  Medi- 
cal College,  serving  successively  as  lecturer  on  physiology,  professor  of 
materia  medica,  therapeutics  and  medical  jurisprudence,  and  general  pathol- 
ogy. In  1859  he  was  one  of  the  founders  of  the  Chicago  Medical  College  and 
he  became  the  first  president  of  its  faculty.  He  retained  his  connection  with 
the  institution  until  the  time  of  his  death. 

He  held  at  different  times  the  chairs  of  materia  medica  and  therapeutics, 
physiology  and  histology,  general  pathology  and  pathological  anatomy,  clini- 
cal medicine  and  principles  and  practice  of  medicine  and  clinical  medicine. 
During  the  last  nine  years  he  was  not  in  active  service,  but  retained  his  con- 
nection with  the  college. as  professor  emeritus. 

Commissioned  major  by  Governor  Richard  Yates  (the  elder),  he  was  as- 
signed during  the  civil  war  to  the  board  of  examining  surgeons,  of  which  he 
became  president.  After  the  great  Chicago  fire,  Dr.  Johnson  was  one  of  the 
managers  of  the  Relief  and  Aid  Society,  which  distributed  millions  of  dollars 
among  the  sufferers. 

He  was  an  early  member  of  the  American  Medical  Association  and  of  the 
Illinois  State  and  Chicago  Medical  societies.  He  was  also  a  member  of  the 
Chicago  Academy  of  Sciences,  the  Chicago  Historical  Society  and  the  Astro- 
nomical and  Microscopical  societies.

He  married  Miss  Margaret  Seward,  a  relative  of  William  H.  Seward  of 
New  York.  A  son,  Dr.  Frank  S.  Johnson,  who  died  in  April,  1922,  was  for 
many  years  closely  identified  with  the  Northwestern  University  Medical 
School.  Dr.  Johnson  died  February  26,  1891. 

Of  Dr.  Johnson,  Dr.  Frank  T.  Andrews  has  written:  "Hosmer  A.  Johnson 
was  a  man  of  strong  will  and  great  brain  power.  These  two  factors  were  in 
evidence  at  every  crisis  in  his  life. 

"When,  at  the  age  of  twenty-one,  he  was  thrown  upon  his  own  resources, 
he  determined  not  only  to  make  a  living  but  to  acquire  a  higher  education. 

"His  success  was  so  pronounced  that  within  a  few  years  he  was  one  of  the 
greatest  teachers  and  lecturers  among  American  physicians.  Simplicity, 
precision  and  definiteness  characterized  his  speech  and  writings. 

"The  prompt  recognition  of  his  merit  by  the  medical  profession  gave  him 
opportunities  to  show  his  value  as  an  organizer  and  executive,  while  the 
rapid  growth  of  his  private  practice  evidenced  a  just  appreciation  of  his 
professional  skill." 

EPHRAIM     INGALS 
(1823-1900) 

Zeal  for  education  was  characteristic  of  Dr.  Ephraim  Ingals. 

When  a  boy,  by  the  hardest  toil,  he  earned  money  enough  to  go  to  a 
primary  school. 

As  a  physician,  his  practice  was  sometimes  so  pressing  that  often  he  was 
forced  to  deliver  his  morning  lecture  at  Rush  Medical  College  without  having 
slept  the  night  before.  Eager  students  could  not  be  slighted. 

Ardent  advocacy  of  better  general  education  for  intending  medical  students 
prompted  him  in  his  last  years  to  give  generously  to  the  fund  that  made 
effective  the  affiliation  of  Rush  Medical  College  writh  the  University  of 
Chicago. 

Dr.  Ingals  was  the  youngest  of  nine  children  and  was  born  in  Abington, 
Conn.,  May  26,  1823.  He  was  a  descendant  of  Edmund  Ingals  who,  coming 
from  England  with  Governor  Endicott's  colony  (landing  at  Salem,  Mass.,  in 
1628),  was  the  first  settler  of  Lynn,  Mass.  Left  an  orphan  at  the  age  of 
eight,  he  had  to  work  for  his  support  and  in  1837  he  went  to  Lee  County, 
Illinois.  There  a  branch  of  the  Ingals  family  had  settled  on  a  farm.  For 
years  he  labored  in  the  fields,  gaining  enough  money  to  go  to  school  at 
intervals. 

From  1845  to  1847  he  attended  Rush  Medical  College  and  was  graduated 
in  February,  18*47.  He  practiced  in  Lee  Center,  111.,  for  ten  years  and  then 
moved  to  Chicago,  where  he  became  successful  as  a  general  practitioner.  He 
was  associated  with  Dr.  Daniel  Brainard  and  Dr.  DeLaskie  Miller  in  the 
conduct  of  the  Northwestern  Medical  and  Surgical  Journal  and  succeeded 
Dr.  John  H.  Ranch  as  professor  of  materia  medica  and  therapeutics  at  Rush 
Medical  College  in  1859.  Dr.  Ingals  remained  at  the  college  until  1871, 
when  he  resigned  with  the  title  of  emeritus  professor. 

Dr.  Ingals  strongly  advocated  the  affiliation  of  Rush  Medical  College  with 
the  University  of  Chicago  and  gave  $25,000  to  the  college  when  the  coalition 
became  effective.  He  also  donated  $10,000  for  the  construction  of  a  labora- 
tory for  the  medical  department  of  Northwestern  University. 


HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO  65 

Dr.  Ingals  was  active  in  the  affairs  of  the  Chicago  Medical  Society,  of 
which  he  served  four  terms  as  president:  1876-77,  1877-78,  1878-79  and 
1881-82.  He  was  also  president  of  the  Illinois  State  Medical  Society. 

On  April  30,  1851,  he  married  Miss  Melissa  Church.  There  were  four 
daughters,  Mary,  Alice,  Elizabeth  and  Lucy.  The  last  named  became  the 
wife  of  Dr.  E.  Fletcher  Ingals. 

Dr.  Ingals  died  December  18,  1900. 


EDMUND     ANDREWS 
(1824-1904) 

One  of  the  founders  of  Northwestern  University  Medical  School,  for  nearly 
half  a  century  chief  surgeon  at  Mercy  Hospital,  sometime  president  of  the 
Chicago  Medical  Society,  profound  student  and  writer,  Dr.  Edmund  Andrews 
was  for  fifty  years  a  towering  figure  in  the  professional  activities  of  the  west. 

He  was  born  at  Putney,  Vt,  April  22,  1824.  His  father,  Rev.  Jonathan 
Andrews,  was  the  Congregational  minister  at  Putney  and  his  grandfather, 
Jonathan  Andrews,  was  a  minute  man  in  the  Revolutionary  War.  After 
having  lived  in  New  York  state  for  several  years,  the  family  moved  to 
Armada,  Mich.,  where  Edmund  Andrews  was  prepared  for  college. 

Dr.  Andrews  matriculated  in  the  college  of  arts  at  the  University  of  Michi- 
gan and,  while  in  his  senior  year,  he,  as  a  member  of  Alpha  Delta  Phi,  led  a 
successful  fight  for  the  retention  of  fraternities  in  colleges.  Upon  his  gradua- 
tion from  the  academic  department  in  1849  Dr.  Andrews  was  elected  president 
of  his  class  for  life. 

After  leaving  the  college  of  arts  at  Michigan,  Dr.  Andrews  became  a  pupil 
of  Dr.  Zina  Pitcher,  a  surgeon  of  the  War  of  1812,  teaching  school  to  pay  his 
expenses.  He  received  his  medical  degree  from  the  University  of  Michigan 
in  1852,  at  the  same  time  receiving  the  degree  of  Master  of  Arts  upon  the 
recommendation  of  the  academic  department. 

For  three  years  Dr.  Andrews  was  demonstrator  of  anatomy  in  the  medical 
school  of  the  university  and  while  there  he  edited  the  Peninsular  Journal  of 
Medicine  and  Allied  Sciences.  He  wielded  a  trenchant  pen  and  was  par- 
ticularly vigorous  in  his  exposure  of  quackery  in  all  its  forms.  His  first 
editorial  was  entitled  "The  Physiology  of  Table  Tipping."  Dr.  Moses  Gunn 
was  a  co-worker  of  Dr.  Andrews  in  the  journalistic  enterprise. 

Dr.  Andrews  left  the  University  of  Michigan  in  1855  to  become  demonstra- 
tor of  anatomy  in  Rush  Medical  College.  A  year  later  he  resigned  and  de- 
voted himself  to  private  practice. 

In  1859  Dr.  Andrews  joined  Dr.  Hosmer  Johnson,  N.  S.  Davis,  W.  H. 
Byford,  Ralph  N.  Isham  and  David  Rutter  in  establishing  the  medical  de- 
partment of  Lind  University  which  eventually  became  the  medical  department 
of  Northwestern  University.  For  forty-six  years  Dr.  Andrews  was  professor 
of  surgery  in  this  institution  and  for  almost  a  like  period  he  was  chief  surgeon 
at  Mercy  Hospital. 

At  the  beginning  of  the  Civil  War  Dr.  Andrews  was  appointed  by  Gov- 
ernor Yates  surgeon  at  Camp  Douglas  and,  on  April  3,  1862,  he  was  commis- 
sioned major  and  surgeon  of  the  First  Illinois  Light  Artillery.  He  served 
with  this  organization  in  campaigns  in  Tennessee  and  Mississippi. 

Dr.  Andrews  was  the  author  of  several  books  on  medical  subjects  and  dur- 
ing his  long  career  he  gave  to  the  medical  profession  a  number  of  valuable 
surgical  instruments  and  devices.  He  is  said  to  have  been  the  first  profes-

sional  man  to  employ  antiseptic  surgery  in  Chicago.  Among  his  accomplish- 
ments was  the  collation  and  publication  of  statistics  on  98,815  cases  of  ether 
aiuesthesia  and  117,078  cases  of  chloroform  anaesthesia  to  show  the  relative 
risk  in  the  use  of  these  agents.  He  also  collected  and  published  extensive 
statistics  tending  to  show  the  failure  of  licensed  prostitution. 

Dr.  Andrews  was  a  geologist  of  repute.  His  work  on  "The  Early  Glacial 
History  of  North  America"  has  been  widely  quoted.  He  was  one  of  the 
founders  of  the  Chicago  Academy  of  Sciences  and  was  its  president  for  several 
terms. 

Dr.  Andrews  was  elected  president  of  the  Chicago  Medical  Society  in  1879 
and  served  for  one  year.  He  was  also  prominent  in  several  other  professional 
and  patriotic  organizations.  For  fifty  years  he  was  a  member  of  the  Second 
Presbyterian  church. 

In  April,  1853,  Dr.  Andrews  married  Miss  Sarah  Eliza  Taylor  at  Detroit. 
At  her  death  in  1875  three  sons  survived  her,  Doctors  E.  Wyllys  Andrews 
and  Frank  Taylor  Andrews  and  Edmund  Lathrop  Andrews,  an  electrical  en- 
gineer. In  1877  Dr.  Andrews  married  Mrs.  Frances  M.  Barrett  of  Detroit, 
who  survived  him  upon  his  death,  January  22,  1904. 

Of  Dr.  Andrews,  Dr.  Joseph  L.  Miller,  who  served  under  him  as  an  interne 
at  Mercy  Hospital,  says :  "He  was  one  of  the  most  versatile  men  I  have  ever 
known.  He  had  an  intimate  knowledge  of  all  the  natural  sciences,  and  could 
discuss  in  a  most  instructive  manner  a  number  of  subjects  outside  of  this 
realm.  His  knowledge  of  a  subject  was  always  accurate  and  detailed  whether 
it  related  to  medicine  or  history.  This  was  probably  accounted  for  by  his 
life-long  habit  of  confining  his  reading  for  prolonged  periods  of  time  to  one 
subject,  his  natural  investigative  mind,  and  his  wonderfully  retentive  memory. 
A  physician  whose  father  had  been  a  life  long  friend  of  Dr.  Andrews  asked 
him  once  in  my  presence  in  regard  to  a  certain  medical  question.  He  answered 
in  some  detail  and  then  stated :  'You  will  find  it  in  a  certain  book  of  your 
father's,  which,  when  I  last  consulted  it  ten  years  ago,  stood  on  such  and  such 
a  shelf  in  his  library.' 

"One  clinic  day  he  was  short  of  material,  but  finding  a  patient  on  his  service 
who  had  a  toothache,  she  was  selected  for  the  clinic.  Without  any  immediate 
preparation  he  discussed  before  the  students  the  history  of  dentistry,  the 
structure  of  the  teeth,  causes  of  decay,  etc.,  in  a  most  interesting  manner. 

"He  was  most  punctilious  in  his  attention  to  his  patients,  making  his  rounds 
each  afternoon.  He  always  had  a  word  of  cheer  for  each  and  was  consequently 
revered  by  all.  The  only  occasion  where  I  ever  heard  him  reprimand  a  patient 
severely  was  when  one  attempted  to  criticise  a  former  physician.  This  always 
called  forth  a  well  merited  rebuke." 

JOHN     HAMILCAR     HOLLISTER 
(1824-1911) 

Dr.  John  H.  Hollister  was  a  man  of  divided  interests.  One  of  the 
organizers  of  the  Chicago  Medical  College  and  for  forty  years  a  member  of 
the  faculty,  conducting  a  large  practice  and  busily  engaged  in  medical  society 
affairs,  he  was  equally  active  in  religious  matters. 

He  was  born  at  Riga,  N.  Y.,  in  1824,  the  son  of  John  Bentley  and  Mary 
Chamberlain  Hollister  and  the  eighth  lineal  descendant  of  John  Hollister, 
who  came  from  England  and  settled  in  Glostenbury,  Conn.,  in  1624.  In  1826 
his  parents  moved  to  Romeo,  Mich.,  where  the  father  died  in  1831.  In  his 
seventeenth  year  the  future  physician  went  to  Rochester,  N.  Y.,  where  he 


68  HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERYMN  CHICAGO 

took  a  course  in  the  Rochester  Collegiate  Institute.  He  received  his  medical 
degree  from  the  Berkshire  Medical  College  in  1847. 

His  first  practice  was  at  Otisco,  Mich.,  where  he  remained  for  two  years, 
when  he  moved  to  Grand  Rapids.  There,  in  1849,  he  married  Miss  Jennette 
Windiate,  to  whom  he  gave  credit  for  much  of  his  success  in  after  life.  Their 
only  child  to  reach  maturity,  Miss  Isabelle  Hollister,  is  the  wife  of  Dr. 
Franklin  H.  Martin  of  Chicago. 

In  1855  Dr.  Hollister  came  to  Chicago  and  soon  afterwards  was  appointed 
demonstrator  of  anatomy  in  Rush  Medical  College.  Four  years  later  he  was 
one  of  the  organizers  of  the  Chicago  Medical  College,  in  which  (since  its 
organization)  he  held  the  chair  of  physiology,  anatomy,  pathological  anatomy 
and  general  pathology. 

He  was  surgeon  to  Mercy  Hospital  and  for  twenty  years  was  clinical 
professor.  He  was  also  attending  physician  to  Cook  County  Hospital  and 
once  served  as  president  of  its  staff. 

He  was  president  of  the  Illinois  State  Medical  Society  in  1875  and  its  treas- 
urer for  twenty  years ;  president  of  the  Chicago  Medical  Society  in  1882  and 
a  charter  member  of  the  Chicago  Academy  of  Sciences ;  trustee  of  the  Ameri- 
can Medical  Association  for  eight  years  and  editor  of  its  journal  for  two 
years. 

Dr.  Hollister  was  for  more  than  fifty  years  a  member  of  Plymouth  Church 
and  served  as  superintendent  or  teacher  in  its  Sunday  School.  He  was  presi- 
dent of  the  Young  Men's  Christian  Association,  the  Congregational  Club  and 
the  Chicago  Bible  Society.  He  was  a  vice-president  of  the  American  Sunday 
School  Mission,  a  member  of  the  board  of  guardians  of  the  Reform  School 
and  a  director  of  the  Illinois  Home  Missionary  Society. 

He  retired  from  practice  in  1900  after  an  active  service  of  fifty-three  years 
in  the  medical  profession.  He  died  at  Redlands,  Cal.,  December  13,  1911. 


JONATHAN    ADAMS    ALLEN 
(1825-1890) 

"His  lectures  were  so  alive  with  wit  and  anecdote  that  to  a  beginner  they 
were  an  entertainment  of  the  rarest  sort;  but  it  was  to  the  second  year 
student  and  the  practitioner  that  the  wisdom  of  the  man  shone  through  the 
wit." 

So  do  the  annalists  describe  Dr.  Jonathan  Adams  Allen,  for  thirty-one 
years  professor  in  and  for  thirteen  years  president  of  Rush  Medical  College. 
His  father,  of  the  same  name,  was  a  very  prominent  physician  in  New  Eng- 
land, and  a  professor  in  Castleton  Medical  College. 

Dr.  Allen  was  born  at  Middlebury,  Vt.,  January  16,  1825.  He  was  grad- 
uated from  Middlebury  College  with  the  degree  of  A.  B.  in  1845  and  the  next 
year  he  received  the  degree  of  M.  D.  from  Castleton  Medical  College. 

From  the  time  of  his  graduation  he  practiced  and  taught  in  Michigan  and 
Indiana.  While  in  Michigan,  in  1850,  he  was  made  professor  of  physiology 
and  pathology  in  the  medical  department  of  the  University  of  Michigan.  In 
1858  he  was  elected  president  of  the  Michigan  State  Medical  Society.  While 
at  the  University  of  Michigan  Dr.  Allen  published  "Essays  on  the  Mechanism 
of  Nervous  Action"  and  "Medical  Examination  for  Life  Insurance  Com- 
panies." Both  works  had  wide  distribution. 

Accepting  the  chair  of  the  theory  and  practice  of  medicine  at  Rush  Medi- 
cal College  in  1859,  Dr.  Allen  held  this  position  for  thirty-one  years  until  ill 


HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO  69 

health  compelled  him  to  resign  in  1890.  He  succeeded  Dr.  Joseph  W.  Freer 
as  president  of  Rush  in  1877,  continuing  in  that  office  for  thirteen  years. 

He  was  surgeon  for  the  Chicago,  Burlington  and  Quincy  Railroad  for 
twenty-four  years.  He  was  also  a  member  of  the  staff  of  St.  Joseph's 
Hospital.  He  was  a  member  of  the  American  Medical  Association  and  the 
Chicago  and  Illinois  State  Medical  societies. 

Dr.  Allen  was  very  highly  regarded  by  the  students  at  Rush  Medical  Col- 
lege, to  whom  he  was  familiarly  known  as  "Uncle  Allen."  He  was  a  man  of 
wide  reading  and  accumulated  a  very  extensive  library.  After  his  death  the 
medical  portion  was  given  to  the  Presbyterian  Hospital  and  later  transferred 
to  Rush  Medical  College,  forming  the  nucleus  of  the  now  fine  library  of  that 
institution. 

On  January  1,  1847,  Dr.  Allen  married  Miss  Mary  Marsh  of  Kalamazoo, 
Mich.  He  died  in  Chicago,  August  15,  1890. 

WILLIAM     WAGNER 
(1825-1872) 

Member  of  the  group  of  German  revolutionists  to  which  Carl  Schurz  and 
Franz  Sigel  belonged,  Dr.  William  Wagner  fled  to  the  United  States  in  1848. 

He  was  born  in  Karlsruhe,  Germany,  in  1825.  He  attended  medical  lec- 
tures at  Heidelberg,  but  was  graduated  in  1848  from  the  University  of 
Wiirzburg. 

He  joined  the  patriots,  Schurz  and  Sigel,  in  the  political  uprising  in  the 
Grand  Duchy  of  Baden  and  with  them  escaped  to  America.  He  remained  for 
a  brief  period  in  Utica,  New  York,  but  in  1849  settled  in  Chicago.  For  a 
time  he  was  in  charge  of  the  smallpox  hospital  and  in  1857  he  was  a  member 
of  the  first  medical  staff  of  the  newly  re-organized  City  Hospital.  In  that 
year  he  founded  the  German  Medical  Society  of  Chicago  and  became  its 
first  president. 

Mayor  Haines  appointed  Dr.  Wagner  city  physician  in  1859  and  in  that 
capacity  he  managed  the  smallpox  hospital  in  the  epidemic  of  that  year. 
Commissioned  major  and  surgeon  of  the  Twenty-fourth  Illinois  Volunteer 
Infantry  in  1861,  he  served  until  1863,  when  he  resigned  and  returned  to 
Chicago. 

In  1864  he  was  elected  coroner  of  Cook  County  and  was  re-elected  for  four 
years  in  1865.  In  1866  he  was  among  the  organizers  of  Cook  County  Hospital 
and  was  a  member  of  the  medical  staff  for  several  years.  In  1867  he  was 
appointed  a  member  of  the  board  of  health  and  took  a  leading  part  in  the 
suppression  of  a  smallpox  epidemic  prevalent  at  that  time. 

He  visited  Berlin  in  1868  to  attend  a  notable  series  of  lectures  then  being 
given  in  that  city.  He  married  Miss  Matilda  Brentano,  daughter  of  Lawrence 
Brentano.  He  died  in  Chicago  July  5,  1872,  and  was  survived  by  Mrs.  Wagner 
and  three  sons  and  a  daughter. 

SAMUEL     COLEMAN     BLAKE 
(1826-1897) 

An  associate  with  Doctors  Daniel  Brainard,  De  Laskie  Miller  and  Joseph 
Presley  Ross  in  establishing  the  nucleus  from  which  was  developed  the 
Cook  County  Hospital,  the  largest  institution  of  the  kind  in  the  United 
States,  Dr.  Samuel  Coleman  Blake  was  for  many  years  a  factor  in  the  pro- 
fessional life  of  Chicago.

Dr.  Blake  was  born  in  Bath,  Me.,  July  25,  1826.  His  grandfather,  John 
Blake,  was  a  cousin  of  General  Henry  Dearborn,  in  whose  company  he 
fought  at  Bunker  Hill.  Dr.  Blake  was  graduated  from  the  medical  depart- 
ment of  Harvard  University  in  1853,  and,  after  practicing  for  three  years  in 
Boston,  he  came  to  Chicago. 

Two  years  after  his  arrival  Dr.  Blake,  with  Doctors  Brainard,  Miller  and 
Ross,  leased  the  City  Hospital  building  and  organized  and  operated  the 
institution  which  at  the  close  of  the  Civil  War  became  the  County  Hospital. 

In  1861  he  was  commissioned  as  surgeon  of  the  Nineteenth  Illinois  In- 
fantry, the  first  regiment  to  leave  Chicago  for  the  front,  with  which  he  went 
to  Missouri.  Later  he  was  transferred  to  the  Thirty-ninth  Illinois  Infantry, 
which  he  helped  to  organize  and  with  which  he  served  in  Virginia. 

During  his  service  Dr.  Blake  organized  base  hospitals  at  Quincy,  111., 
Hancock,  Md.,  Mount  Jackson  and  Strasburg,  Va.,  and  field  hospitals  in 
Virginia.  In  1863,  his  health  being  impaired  for  active  service,  he  resigned 
his  commission  and  that  year  was  elected  physician  of  Cook  County.  From 
1865  to  1866  he  was  city  physician.  In  1866  he  was  a  member  of  the  board 
of  supervisors  of  Cook  County  and  instrumental  in  laying  the  foundation  of 
Cook  County  Hospital  that  year.  Dr.  Blake  was  also  one  of  the  organizers 
of  the  Chicago  Hospital  for  Women  and  Children.  He  occupied  the  chair 
of  diseases  of  the  mind  and  nervous  system  in  the  Women's  Medical  Col- 
lege for  seven  years. 

In  1877,  for  reasons  of  health,  he  left  Chicago,  returning  in  1887. 

In  1858  Dr.  Blake  married  Adaline,  one  of  the  daughters  of  Benjamin 
Jones,  one  of  the  early  settlers  and  first  merchants  of  the  city. 

Dr.  Blake  was  a  fellow  of  the  Massachusetts  State  Medical  Society,  and  a 
member  of  the  American  Medical  Association,  the  Illinois  State  and  Chicago 
Medical  societies.  He  died  February  8,  1897,  and  was  survived  by  his 
widow  and  three  sons,  Charles  C.,  Benjamin  J.  and  Tiffany  Blake,  editorial 
writer  for  the  Chicago  Tribune. 

ABRAHAM     REEVES     JACKSON 
(1827-1892) 

"My  friend,  the  doctor"  of  Mark  Twain's  "Innocents  Abroad,"  was  Dr. 
Abraham  Reeves  Jackson,  sometime  lecturer  at  Rush  Medical  College  and 
one  of  the  organizers  of  the  College  of  Physicians  and  Surgeons  of  Chicago. 

Dr.  Jackson  was  a  son  of  Washington  and  Deborah  Jackson  and  was  born 
in  Philadelphia,  June  17,  1827.  He  was  educated  in  the  public  schools  and 
the  Central  High  School  of  that  city. 

He  was  graduated  from  the  medical  department  of  the  University  of 
Pennsylvania  in  1848.  After  practicing  for  a  brief  time  in  Kresgeville,  Pa., 
and  Columbus,  N.  J.,  Dr.  Jackson  settled  in  Stroudsville,  Pa.  In  1850  he 
married  Miss  Harriet  Hollingshead  of  Stroudsville.  She  died  in  1865. 

Entering  the  Union  Army  in  1862  as  assistant  surgeon,  in  the  latter  part 
of  the  war  he  was  advanced  to  the  rank  of  assistant  medical  director  of  the 
Army  of  Virginia. 

When  Dr.  Jackson  was  surgeon  of  the  S.  S.  "Quaker  City,"  he  met  Mark 
Twain,  who  was  a  passenger.  They  became  cronies  and  the  great  humorist 
commemorated  the  rencontre  by  referring  to  Dr.  Jackson,  as  "My  friend,  the 
doctor"  in  "Innocents  Abroad." 

Coming  to  Chicago  in  1870,  he  specialized  in  gynecology.  The  following 
year  he  married  Miss  Julia  Newell  of  Janesville,  Wis.  In  1872  he  was 


72  HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO 

appointed  professor  of  gynecology  in  Rush  Medical  College  and  held  this 
professorship  until  1877,  when  he  resigned.  In  appreciation  of  his  ability, 
Rush  conferred  upon  him  an  honorary  degree  of  Doctor  of  Medicine.  In 
1881  Dr.  Jackson,  with  others,  organized  and  incorporated  the  College  of 
Physicians  and  Surgeons,  now  the  College  of  Medicine  of  the  University  of 
Illinois. 

The  College  of  Physicians  and  Surgeons  opened  September  26,  1882,  with 
Dr.  Jackson  as  the  president,  which  position  he  held  until  his  death.  He 
also  assumed  the  professorship  of  surgical  diseases  of  women  and  clinical 
gynecology. 

Dr.  Jackson  helped  to  organize  the  Chicago  Gynecological  Society  in 
1883  and  became  its  head.  Eight  years  later  he  was  chosen  president  of  the 
American  Gynecological  Society.  He  was  also  a  member  of  the  British  Gyne- 
cological Society,  the  American  Academy  of  Medicine,  the  American  Medical 
Association,  the  Illinois  State  and  the  Chicago  Medical  societies. 

While  operating  upon  an  infected  patient  Dr.  Jackson  inoculated  a  finger 
and  never  fully  recovered  from  the  effects  of  the  disease.  He  died  November 
12,  1892.  A  bust  was  placed  in  his  memory  in  the  College  of  Physicians 
and  Surgeons. 

ROBERT     LAUGHLIN     REA 
(1827-1899) 

Professor  at  Rush  Medical  College,  the  Chicago  Medical  College  and  the 
College  of  Physicians  and  Surgeons  of  Chicago,  Dr.  Robert  L.  Rea  has  been 
described  as  the  greatest  teacher  of  anatomy  Chicago  has  ever  known. 

He  was  born  in  Rockbridge  County,  Virginia,  July  1,  1827.  In  his  seven- 
teenth year  he  went  to  live  on  the  farm  of  Absalom  Manlove  in  Fayette 
County,  Indiana.  He  worked  on  the  place  in  summer  and  taught  school  in 
winter.  He  then  read  medicine  in  the  office  of  Dr.  W.  P.  Kitchen,  of  Browns- 
ville, Indiana.  In  1851  he  began  practice  at  Oxford,  Ohio,  but,  realizing  the 
need  of  better  professional  training,  he  matriculated  at  Ohio  Medical  College, 
from  which  he  was  graduated  in  1855.  After  graduation  he  was  appointed 
demonstrator  of  anatomy  in  the  Ohio  institution  and  resident  physician  in 
the  Commercial  Hospital  of  Cincinnati.  In  1859,  at  Dr.  Daniel  Brainard's 
invitation,  he  came  to  Rush  Medical  College,  where  he  became  professor  of 
anatomy. 

In  1862  he  became  a  member  of  the  medical  staff  of  the  old  City  Hospital, 
joining  Doctors  Brockholst  McVickar,  George  K.  Amerman,  Joseph  P.  Ross 
and  Joseph  W.  Freer.  In  1863  the  hospital  was  commandeered  by  the 
government  for  an  eye  and  ear  infirmary. 

Dr.  Rea  remained  with  Rush  Medical  College  until  1875,  when  he  accepted 
the  professorship  of  anatomy  in  the  Chicago  Medical  College.  In  1882  he 
became  a  member  of  the  first  faculty  of  the  College  of  Physicians  and  Sur- 
geons, in  which  he  was  professor  of  surgery  and  clinical  surgery.  He  retired 
in  1886  on  account  of  ill  health.  His  ability  had  been  such  as  to  elicit  from 
Dr.  N.  S.  Davis  the  declaration  that  Dr.  Rea  was  Chicago's  greatest  teacher 
of  anatomy. 

For  thirty  years  Dr.  Rea  was  surgeon-in-chief  of  the  Pennsylvania  railroad. 

On  July  2,  1874,  he  married  Miss  Mollie  Manlove,  daughter  of  Absolom 
Manlove.  He  died  July  10,  1899.  In  his  will  he  endowed  the  Rea  professor- 
ship of  anatomy  in  the  Medical  Department  of  Northwestern  University.

Cll  A  R  L  E  S     OILMAN     SMI  T  11 
(1828-1894) 

For  forty  years  active  in  the  professional  and  social  life  of  Chicago, 
])r.  Charles  Oilman  Smith  had  come  to  Chicago  with  a  degree  from  the 
medical  department  of  the  University  of  Pennsylvania. 

He  was  born  in  Exeter,  New  Hampshire,  January  4,  1828,  and  received  his 
preparatory  education  at  Phillips  Exeter  Academy.  While  he  was  attending 
Harvard  Medical  School  in  1949  the  Webster-Parkman  tragedy  occurred. 
This  resulted  in  the  hanging  of  Professor  Webster  for  killing  Dr.  Parkman. 
Dr.  Smith  thereupon  transferred  to  the  medical  department  of  the  University 
of  Pennsylvania,  from  which  he  was  graduated  in  1851. 

Practicing  in  Boston  for  a  year,  he  moved  to  Chicago  in  1853  and  opened  an 
office  at  122  Lake  Street,  which,  at  that  time,  was  in  the  center  of  the  business 
district.  During  the  civil  war  Dr.  Smith  was  one  of  six  physicians  assigned 
to  the  medical  care  of  Confederate  prisoners  at  Camp  Douglas. 

In  1868  he  pursued  a  post-graduate  course  in  leading  hospitals  in  France, 
England  and  Germany.  In  1870  he  became  professor  of  the  diseases  of  chil- 
dren in  the  Woman's  Medical  College.  He  was  also  consulting  physician  to 
the  Presbyterian  Hospital  and  medical  examiner  for  a  number  of  life  insur- 
ance companies. 

He  was  president  of  the  Chicago  Literary  Club  and  a  member  of  the 
Academy  of  Science.  He  married  Miss  Harriet  Gaylord,  October  10,  1873. 
He  died  January  10,  1894. 

JOSEPH     PRESLEY     ROSS 
(1828-1890) 

Dr.  Joseph  Presley  Ross  entered  politics  and  became  a  member  of  the 
county  board  that  he  might  carry  through  his  cherished  plan  to  provide  a 
real  county  hospital  for  this  community. 

He  showed  the  same  indomitable  zeal  when  he,  with  others,  undertook  the 
building  of  the  Presbyterian  Hospital. 

Father,  as  contemporaries  called  him,  of  two  of  Chicago's  noblest  institu- 
tions, Dr.  Ross  was  one  of  Chicago's  most  useful  citizens. 

He  was  born  in  Clark  County,  Ohio,  January  7,  1828.  He  was  descended 
from  Scotch  ancestors  who  came  to  America  before  the  revolution.  Joseph 
Ross  left  his  father's  farm  at  the  age  of  nineteen  to  become  interested  in  a 
woolen  mill  in  Piqua,  Ohio.  In  two  years  he  had  made  $2,000.  This  sum 
enabled  him  to  attend  the  Piqua  Academy  and  to  read  medicine  under 
Dr.  G.  Volney  Dorsey.  He  was  graduated  from  the  Ohio  Medical  College  at 
Cincinnati  in  1852.  After  practicing  for  a  year  at  St.  Mary's,  Ohio,  he  came 
to  Chicago  in  1853.  He  soon  formed  a  partnership  with  Dr.  L.  P.  Cheney, 
which  continued  for  several  years. 

Dr.  Ross  was  physician  to  the  Orphan  Asylum  for  several  years  and  the 
first  physician  to  the  State  Reform  School. 

During  the  civil  war  the  government  had  taken  over  the  City  Hospital, 
with  the  administration  of  which  Dr.  Ross  had  been  identified.  After  the 
conflict  the  hospital  passed  under  the  control  of  the  county  commissioners. 
Dr.  Ross  foresaw  the  need  for  an  adequate  public  hospital  in  a  community 
that  was  growing  by  leaps  and  bounds  and,  that  he  might  closely  direct  the 
development  of  the  County  Hospital,  he  became  a  candidate  for  membership 
in  the  county  board  and  was  elected.  The  hospital  is  now  the  largest  and 
best  of  its  kind  in  the  United  States.

JOHN    HENRY    RAUCH 


HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO  75 

In  the  spring  course  at  Rush  Medical  College,  Dr.  Ross  had  begun  to  lec- 
ture on  clinical  medicine  in  1860.  In  1866-67  he  was  clinical  lecturer  at  the 
County  Hospital  and  in  1868  he  became  professor  of  clinical  medicine  and 
diseases  of  the  chest  at  Rush.  This  position  he  occupied  until  1890. 
Vigorous  and  aggressive,  he  took  a  leading  part  in  the  development  of  the 
college.  \Yhen  the  institution  was  destroyed  by  fire  in  1871  he  contributed 
largely  to  its  restoration. 

For  a  long  time  Dr.  Ross  had  advocated  in  faculty  meetings  the  erection 
of  a  hospital  adjacent  to  Rush  Medical  College.  Finally  a  lot  was  bought  and 
on  it  the  construction  of  the  hospital  was  begun.  For  the  building  fund, 
])r.  Ross  obtained  a  subscription  of  $10,000  from  his  father-in-law,  Tuthill 
King,  whose  daughter,  Miss  Elizabeth  King,  had  become  the  wife  of  Dr.  Ross 
in  1856.  The  trustees  took  this  money  and  other  funds  raised  among  the 
faculty  and  proceeded  in  1883  to  develop  the  project  on  a  scale  much  larger 
than  originally  intended.  In  the  winter  of  1883-84  the  college  and  the 
Presbyterian  Hospital  Association,  formed  at  Dr.  Ross'  instigation,  made  an 
agreement  whereby  the  college  deeded  the  lot  and  unfinished  structure  to  the 
association  on  condition,  among  other  things,  that  the  latter  should  complete 
the  building  and  open  and  maintain  it  perpetually  as  a  hospital. 

The  association  immediately  took  charge,  finished  the  building  and  opened 
it  as  a  hospital  in  the  autumn  of  1884.  A  medical  staff  was  appointed 
consisting  of  six  consulting  and  fourteen  attending  members.  Dr.  Ross  was 
one  of  the  latter. 

After  a  life  of  exceptional  beneficence,  Dr.  Ross  died  June  15,  1890. 

EDWARD     LORENZO     HOLMES 
(1828-1900) 

Youthful  associate  of  John  Lathrop  Motley. 

Pupil  of  Henry  Wadsworth  Longfellow. 

Member  of  the  Brook  Farm  Colony. 

Graduate  of  Harvard  College  and  Harvard  Medical  School. 

Student  in  Vienna,  Paris  and  Berlin. 

Founder  of  the  Illinois  Charitable  Eye  and  Ear  Infirmary. 

For  forty  years  instructor  and  professor  at  Rush  Medical  College,  and  for 
eight  years  its  president. 

One  of  the  organizers  of  the  Presbyterian  Hospital. 

Philanthropist  and  public-spirited  citizen. 

Thus  is  summarized  the  career  of  Dr.  Edward  Lorenzo  Holmes,  for  forty- 
four  years  an  exalted  figure  in  the  professional  and  civic  life  of  Chicago. 

"May  each  of  you  grow  old  and  wear  out  in  the  service  of  others."  This 
was  the  wish  of  President  Holmes,  expressed  in  his  farewell  to  a  graduating 
class  of  Rush  Medical  College.  It  was  an  ideal  that  Dr.  Holmes  himself 
exemplified. 

Dr.  Holmes  was  born  in  Dedham,  Mass.,  January  28,  1828.  A  maternal 
ancestor  was  Major  John  Buttnck,  who  commanded  Revolutionary  troops 
at  Concord. 

Interest  in  higher  education  was  stimulated  by  association  with  John 
Lathrop  Motley,  a  citizen  of  Dedham,  in  whose  library  young  Holmes  did 
odd  tasks.  In  after  years  Dr.  Holmes  often  spoke  of  the  inspiration  which 
he  received  from  talks  with  the  great  historian  and  the  desire  that  was  awak- 
ened in  him  to  know  about  the  books  over  which  he  had  been  working. 

Entering  Harvard  College  in  the  fall  of  1845,  he  devoted  himself  to  the 


HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO 


sciences  and  mathematics  and  to  Latin,  Greek,  French  and  German.  Henry 
Wadsworth  Longfellow  was  his  instructor  in  German.  During  the  spring 
and  summer  vacations  Dr.  Holmes  walked  to  West  Roxbury,  Mass.,  to 
become  a  member  of  the  famous  Brook  Farm  Colony.  It  was  significant  that 
an  active  boy  of  eighteen  should  spend  his  vacation  amid  the  surroundings 
created  by  New  England  scholars  in  their  effort  to  promote  an  undertaking 
dedicated  to  cultural  ideals  and  to  Christianity. 

Dr.  Holmes  received  the  degree  of  A.  M.  magna  cum  laude  from  Harvard 
College  in  1849.  After  two  years  of  teaching  he  entered  Harvard  Medical 
School,  graduating  from  that  institution  in  1854.  His  reward  for  excellent 
scholarship  was  an  appointment  as  interne  in  the  Massachusetts  General  Hos- 
pital. Subsequently  he  studied  in  Vienna,  Berlin  and  Paris. 

He  finally  established  his  residence  in  Chicago  in  1856.  Two  years  later  he 
founded  the  Illinois  Charitable  Eye  and  Ear  Infirmary,  which,  through  its 
first  decade,  was  largely  maintained  from  his  private  purse.  It  later  became 
a  state  institution  and  he  remained  at  its  head  almost  to  the  close  of  his  life. 

In  1859  he  became  lecturer  on  ophthalmology  and  otology  in  Rush  Medi- 
cal College.  During  the  war  of  the  rebellion  he  served  intermittently  in 
the  battle  zone  in  an  advisory  capacity  in  matters  pertaining  to  accidents  to 
the  eye  and  ear.  He  continued  as  lecturer  at  Rush  Medical  College  until 
1869,  when  the  chair  of  ophthalmology  and  otology  was  created  for  him  by 
the  faculty  of  that  institution.  In  this  professorship  he  continued  for  thirty 
years.  From  1890  to  1898  he  was  president  of  the  faculty.  He  resigned  in 
the  latter  year  on  account  of  ill  health  after  forty  years  of  devoted  service. 

The  founding  of  Presbyterian  Hospital  must  be  credited  principally  to  Dr. 
Joseph  P.  Ross,  but  the  valuable  and  sagacious  assistance  given  by  Dr. 
Holmes  did  much  for  the  early  development  of  the  institution.  The  per- 
fecting of  details  in  the  general  plan  for  the  establishment  of  the  hospital 
and  the  assurance  of  its  support  by  effecting  an  amalgamation  with  Rush 
Medical  College,  were  chiefly  the  work  of  Dr.  Holmes.  For  years  he  presided 
over  the  medical  staff  of  the  hospital. 

From  1857  to  the  close  of  his  life,  Dr.  Holmes  was  an  active  member  of  the 
American  Medical  Association  and  the  Illinois  State  and  Chicago  Medical 
societies.  He  was  also  a  member  of  the  American  and  Chicago  Ophthal- 
mological  societies. 

Almost  the  pioneer  in  ophthalmology  in  the  west,  Dr.  Holmes  was  regarded 
for  a  third  of  a  century  as  its  leading  practitioner. 

In  1862  Dr.  Holmes  married  Miss  Paula  von  Wieser  of  Vienna. 

He  died  February  12,  1900.  He  was  survived  by  two  sons,  Dr.  Rudolph  W. 
Holmes  and  Edward  L.  Holmes,  and  three  daughters,  Mrs.  Paula  Holmes 
Gray  and  Mrs.  Carol  Holmes  Dawborn,  both  the  wives  of  physicians,  and 
Miss  Jeanette  R.  Holmes. 

Of  Dr.  Holmes,  Dr.  Cassius  D.  Wescott,  associated  with  him  during  his 
later  years,  has  written : 

"All  who  knew  Dr.  Holmes  well  were  impressed  with  his  gentleness,  his 
simplicity  and  his  humanity.  To  him  a  sufferer  was  a  sacred  thing  and  no 
one  who  asked  for  his  service  was  denied  as  long  as  he  had  health  and 
strength  to  work,  no  matter  whether  the  patient  could  pay  or  not. 

"He  had  a  large  practice,  but  his  fees  were  very  modest  and  he  left  a  small 
estate.  He  was  never  known  to  speak  ill  of  anyone,  and  it  \vas  a  rule  of  his 
household :  'If  we  cannot  speak  well  of  one,  we  will  say  nothing.'  "

MILLS     OLCOTT     HEYDOCK 
(1828-1881) 

One  of  the  founders  of  St.  Luke's  Hospital,  Dr.  Mills  Olcott  Heydock 
was  president  of  the  Chicago  Medical  Society  in  1864-65. 

Dr.  Heydock  was  born  in  Hanover,  N.  H.,  February  4,  1828.  After  re- 
ceiving" his  academic  education  at  Dartmouth  College,  Dr.  Heydock  entered 
the  medical  department  of  Dartmouth  College  and  obtained  his  medical 
degree  in  1852.  He  practiced  medicine  at  Farmington,  Conn.,  from  1852  to 
1854.  In  1854  he  came  to  Chicago. 

When  the  Chicago  Medical  College  was  organized  in  1859,  he  was  made 
professor  of  materia  medica,  therapeutics  and  medical  jurisprudence. 

In  1864  Dr.  Heydock  was  elected  president  of  the  Chicago  Medical  Society, 
of  which  he  had  been  a  member  since  his  arrival  in  Chicago.  In  the  same 
year  he  helped  to  organize  St.  Luke's  Hospital  and  was  a  member  of  its 
first  board  of  trustees.  Dr.  Heydock  and  Doctors  Walter  Hay  and  John  E. 
Owens  were  among  the  attending  physicians  at  the  hospital,  Dr.  Heydock 
serving  as  gynecologist  and  accoucher. 

He  died  in  Chicago,  April  17,  1881. 

JOHN     HENRY    RAUCH 
(1828-1894) 

"Creator  of  the  public  health  conscience  of  Illinois." 

This  was  the  characterization  given  Dr.  John  H.  Rauch  after  he  had  closed 
a  career  of  more  than  thirty  years  as  the  foremost  sanitarian  of  the  state. 

Born  in  Lebanon,  Pennsylvania,  September  4,  1828,  John  H.  Rauch  was 
graduated  from  the  medical  department  of  the  University  of  Pennsylvania  in 
1849.  He  began  practice  in  1850  at  Burlington,  Iowa,  where  he  at  once 
became  interested  in  sanitary  science  and  preventive  medicine.  He  was 
appointed  professor  of  materia  medica  and  medical  botany  at  Rush  Medical 
College  in  Chicago  in  1857,  establishing  his  residence  here  the  following  year. 

His  service  in  the  union  army  as  a  surgeon  was  such  as  to  earn  for  him 
promotion  to  the  rank  of  lieutenant  colonel.  His  experience  afforded  ample 
opportunity  for  the  employment  of  his  sanitary  knowledge  and  confirmed  him 
in  his  estimate  of  the  practical  value  of  sanitary  science. 

Upon  his  return  to  Chicago  from  the  war  he  plunged  into  the  solution  of 
the  city's  sanitary  problems.  As  the  result  of  leverage  exerted  by  him,  the 
old  city  cemetery  was  removed  from  part  of  the  site  of  Lincoln  Park,  as  a 
sanitary  measure.  He  was  also  a  leader  in  the  agitation  which  resulted  in 
Chicago's  present  park  system. 

Dr.  Rauch  aided  in  reorganizing  the  public  health  service  of  Chicago  in 
1867  and  was  appointed  member  of  the  board  of  health  and  sanitary 
superintendent. 

The  population  in  1867  was  increased  by  more  than  25,000  over  1866.  The 
total  mortality  for  1866  was  6,524,  that  for  1867  was  4,773,  a  reduction  of  1,751 
in  the  actual  number  of  deaths,  notwithstanding  the  increase  in  population. 
"These  lives,"  says  Dr.  Arthur  R.  Reynolds,  "must  stand  to  the  everlasting 
credit  of  Dr.  Rauch  and  his  associates  in  the  sanitary  regeneration  of 
Chicago." 

Among  the  achievements  in  which  he  figured  were: 

Organization  and  enforcement  of  sanitary  measures  for  the  welfare  of

Participation  in  the  formation  of  the  American  Public  Health  Association, 
of  which  he  was  president  in  1876. 

Agitation  for  an  Illinois  State  Board  of  Health,  of  which  he  became  the 
head  in  1877,  after  enactment  of  the  law. 

Drastic  reforms  under  the  medical  practice  act  whereby  non-graduates  in 
large  numbers  were  eliminated  as  practitioners. 

A  successful  campaign  against  yellow  fever  in  southern  Illinois. 

Substitution  of  quarantine  by  inspection  for  the  "shot  gun"  quarantine, 
thus  effecting  an  immense  saving  to  commerce.  On  the  Illinois  Central 
freight  tonnage  received  at  Cairo  in  1878  was  87,300,600  and,  as  the  result  of 
quarantine  by  inspection,  it  was  raised  to  129,833,800  in  1879. 

Initiation  of  public  school  vaccinations  throughout  Illinois. 

Elevation  of  the  requirements  of  the  state  board  of  health  as  to  educational 
standards.  Dr.  Ranch  was  particularly  insistent  that  colleges  demand  a  high 
grade,  preliminary  training  before  admittance  to  the  study  of  medicine. 

He  gave  up  his  connection  with  the  state  board  of  health  in  1891.  In  1892 
he  assisted  the  late  Dr.  John  B.  Hamilton  in  the  establishment  and  equipment 
of  Camp  Low  quarantine  station  to  care  for  an  epidemic  of  Asiatic  cholera 
then  threatening. 

In  1893  he  was  active  in  connection  with  the  Board  of  Awards  of  the 
World's  Columbian  Exposition  in  Chicago. 

He  died  at  Lebanon,  Pennsylvania,  March  24,  1894. 

Of  Dr.  Rauch,  Dr.  Arthur  R.  Reynolds  says :  "He  thought  of  the  welfare 
of  his  fellows  and  his  far-seeing  wisdom  has  made  his  state  and  his  country 
a  better  place  to  live  in." 

MARY     HARRIS    THOMPSON 
(1829-1895) 

Founder  of  the  Hospital  for  Women  and  Children  which  now  bears  her 
name. 

For  thirty  years  the  head  of  its  staff. 

First  woman  to  receive  a  degree  from  the  Chicago  Medical  College. 

First  woman  to  do  major  surgery  in  Chicago. 

Such  was  Dr.  Mary  Harris  Thompson  whose  "learning,  personality,  thor- 
oughness, perseverance  and  skill,"  says  Dr.  A.  J.  Ochsner,  "convinced  many 
of  us  that  it  was  possible  for  a  woman  to  be  a  real  physician  and  surgeon." 

Dr.  Thompson  was  born  at  Fort  Ann,  New  York,  April  15,  1829.  She  was 
educated  there  and  devoted  several  years  to  teaching  and  to  the  independent 
study  of  astronomy,  chemistry,  physiology  and  anatomy.  She  first  studied 
medicine  at  the  New  England  Female  Medical  College  in  1859  and,  after 
graduation  from  the  Woman's  Medical  College  of  Pennsylvania,  served  a 
year  as  interne  with  Dr.  Emily  Blackwell.  In  July,  1863,  she  settled  in 
Chicago  to  practice  her  profession.  Through  her  efforts  the  Hospital  for 
Women  and  Children  was  established  in  1865.  From  that  time  until  her 
death  thirty  years  later  Dr.  Thompson  held  uninterruptedly  the  position  of 
head  physician  and  surgeon  in  that  institution. 

The  Hospital  for  Women  and  Children  was  the  forerunner  of  the  Woman's 
Medical  College  organized  by  Doctors  William  H.  Byford,  William  G.  Dyas 
and  others  in  1870.  Until  her  demise  Dr.  Thompson  held  the  professorship 
of  clinical  gynecology  in  the  Woman's  Medical  College.  At  the  beginning  of 
her  incumbency  in  this  position  the  Chicago  Medical  College  bestowed  upon 
her  the  first  degree  it  ever  gave  to  a  woman. 


80  HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO 

Dr.  Thompson  was  the  first  and  for  many  years  the  only  woman  in  Chicago 
to  do  major  surgery. 

The  training  school  for  nurses  was  organized  in  connection  with  the  hos- 
pital and  an  important  part  of  Dr.  Thompson's  work  was  the  training  of 
graduate  nurses. 

Dr.  Thompson  was  the  inventor  of  several  surgical  instruments  of  value 
and  of  an  abdominal  needle  which  has  been  widely  adopted  by  surgeons. 

Three  days  prior  to  her  death  she  wras  suddenly  stricken  by  an  attack  of 
cerebral  hemorrhage  and  died  May  21,  1895.  At  the  first  meeting  of  the 
Chicago  Medical  Society  following  her  death  glowing  eulogies  were  delivered 
by  Doctors  John  Bartlett,  Isaac  N.  Danforth  and  others. 

Soon  after  Dr.  Thompson's  death  the  name  of  the  Women's  and  Children's 
Hospital  was  changed  to  honor  her  memory.

Removing  to  Kewanee  in  the  autumn  of  1854,  Dr.  Fitch  became  one  of  the 
organizers  of  the  Henry  County  Medical  Society,  and  its  president. 

At  the  outbreak  of  the  Civil  War,  Dr.  Fitch  was  commissioned  with  the 
rank  of  major  and  assigned  as  surgeon  of  the  Forty-second  Illinois  Volunteer 
Infantry.  He  remained  in  the  service  until  1863,  when  he  resigned  his  com- 
mission on  account  of  ill  health. 

Coming  to  Chicago  in  1864,  he  was  elected  county  physician  the  following 
year.  In  1870  he  was  placed  in  charge  of  the  department  of  obstetrics  and 
diseases  of  women  and  children  of  the  Women's  and  Children's  Hospital.  He 
occupied  the  position  for  thirteen  years.  At  the  time  Dr.  Fitch  became

lege, filling  the  chair  of  gynecology.  In  1870  Dr.  Fitch  was  also  president  of 
the  Chicago  Medical  Society.  Later  he  was  president  of  the  Illinois  State 
Medical  Society  for  one  term.  A  stroke  of  paralysis  caused  Dr.  Fitch  to  retire 
from  active  work  in  1883,  when  he  was  made  professor  emeritus  of  gyne- 
cology in  the  Woman's  Medical  College. 

Dr.  Fitch  died  at  the  Soldiers'  Home,  Quincy,  111.,  September  2,  1901.

In  1852  he  entered  the  medical  department  of  the  University  of  Pennsyl- 
vania, also  attending  lectures  at  Jefferson  Medical  College.  His  conversion 
to  homeopathy  was  the  result  of  an  investigation  upon  which  he  entered  with 
a  view  of  taking  intelligent  ground  against  it. 

He  entered  upon  the  practice  of  his  profession  in  his  native  city  in  company 
with  Dr.  A.  H.  Okie,  said  to  have  been  the  first  homeopathic  graduate  in  this 
country.  He  removed  to  Chicago  in  1855,  where  he  was  elected  to  the  chair 
of  chemistry  upon  the  organization  of  Hahnemann  Medical  College.  Later 
he  was  professor  of  the  theory  and  practice  of  medicine.  He  held  this  posi- 
tion until  his  resignation  in  1870. 

He  received  the  degree  of  Doctor  of  Laws  from  St.  Ignatius  College  in 
1871.  In  1879  he  was  elected  vice-president  of  the  American  Institute  of

large  sale. 

He  died  February  1,  1885. 

JOHN     BARTLETT 
(1829-1910) 

An  organizer  and  member  of  the  staff  of  the  Women's  and  Children's  Hos-

and  linguist,  Dr.  John  Bartlett  was  born  in  Louisville,  Ky.,  in  1829,  the  son  of 
George  F.  and  Mary  M.  (Rogers)  Bartlett. 

Dr.  Bartlett  was  graduated  from  the  medical  department  of  the  University 
of  Louisville  in  1850.  He  came  to  Chicago  in  1862,  specializing  in  obstetrics. 
It  was  while  engaged  in  this  practice  that  he  aided  in  establishing  the 
Women's  and  Children's  Hospital,  becoming  a  member  of  the  staff.  He 
became  professor  of  obstetrics  in  the  Chicago  Policlinic  and  obstetrician  in 
the  Augustana  Hospital. 

He  wrote  largely  on  obstetrical  subjects,  and  made  improvements  in  the 
instruments  employed  in  his  specialty.  He  was  a  pioneer  intubator  of  the 
larynx  and  devised  an  electro-magnetic  extractor  for  intubation  tubes. 

Dr.  Bartlett  was  a  fluent  speaker  of  French  and  German  and  a  student  of 
Latin  also.  He  accumulated  an  extensive  library  and  donated  his  two  hun- 
dred and  fifty  volumes  on  obstetrics  to  the  John  Crerar  Library.

HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO  83 

Dr.  Edwin  M.  Hale  was  for  two  years  a  student  of  homeopathy  under 
Dr.  A.  O.  Blair  of  Newark,  Ohio,  and  in  1850  he  entered  the  Cleveland  Home- 
opathic Medical  College.  At  the  end  of  the  term  he  located  in  the  village  of 
Tonesville,  Michigan.  At  that  time  there  were  not  more  than  a  dozen  home- 
opathic physicians  in  the  state,  but  that  did  not  deter  them,  including  Doctor 
Hale,  from  making  an  effort  to  establish  a  homeopathic  department  in  the 
University  of  Michigan.  In  this  they  were  finally  successful.  Dr.  Hale 
declined  the  proffered  chair  of  materia  medica  and  therapeutics  in  the  new 
department,  as  he  had  been  called  to  the  same  professorship  in  the  Hahne- 
mann  Medical  College  of  Chicago.  He  lectured  in  this  institution  for  eighteen 
years. 

After  severing  his  connection  with  Hahnemann  Medical  College,  he 
accepted  the  chair  of  materia  medica  and  therapeutics  in  the  newly  organ- 
ized Chicago  Homeopathic  Medical  College.  This  he  held  for  five  years 
and  when  he  retired  from  the  chair  he  was  made  professor  emeritus. 

Dr.  Hale  was  an  honorary  member  of  many  home  and  foreign  associations 
and  a  member  of  the  Chicago  Academy  of  Science  and  the  American  Insti- 
tute of  Homeopathy.  He  was  one  of  the  founders  of  the  Calumet  and  Chi- 
cago Literary  clubs. 

During  his  professional  career,  Dr.  Hale  wrote  nearly  seventy  books  and 
pamphlets.  Many  of  them  were  translated  into  French,  German  and  Span- 
ish. His  "Practice  of  Medicine"  is  accounted  one  of  his  best  works. 

Dr.  Hale  married  Miss  Abba  Ann  George  of  Jonesville,  Michigan,  Octo- 
ber 13,  1852.  There  were  two  children,  Dr.  Albert  B.  Hale  and  Mrs.  Frances 
G.  Gardiner. 

Dr.  Hale  died  January  15,  1899. 


EUGENE    MARGUERAT 
(1829-1907) 

One  of  the  founders  of  the  Woman's  Hospital  and  of  the  Woman's  Medical 
College  of  Chicago,  Dr.  Eugene  Marguerat  was  president  of  the  Chicago 
Medical  Society  in  1868-69. 

He  was  born  near  Lausanne,  Switzerland,  in  1829.  After  his  graduation 
from  the  College  of  Lausanne,  he  studied  in  Paris  and  began  the  reading  of 
medicine  in  that  city.  Joining  a  number  of  French  emigrants,  he  came  to 
America  in  1851.  For  three  years  he  was  professor  of  Latin,  Greek  and  French 
at  the  Oswego  (New  York)  academy. 

He  entered  Jefferson  Medical  College,  Philadelphia,  in  1855,  and,  upon 
graduation,  matriculated  in  the  medical  department  of  New  York  University, 
from  which  he  .was  graduated  in  1859.  After  engaging  in  hospital  work  in 
New  York  and  Philadelphia,  he  practiced  for  a  time  in  central  New  York. 
He  located  in  Chicago  in  1862  and  soon  afterward  joined  the  Sanitary  Com- 
mission. In  cooperation  with  the  commission  he  visited  Pittsburgh  Landing, 
where  he  was  assiduous  in  the  care  of  sick  and  wounded. 

Dr.  Marguerat  assisted  in  founding  the  Woman's  Hospital  and  five  years 
later  he  helped  to  establish  the  Woman's  Medical  College,  where  he  became 
professor  of  obstetrics.  He  was  elected  to  the  presidency  of  the  Chicago 
Medical  Society  in  1868-69. 

He  died  March  7,  1907  after  a  professional  career  in  Chicago  of  forty-five 
years.

THOMAS     BEVAN 
(1830-1880) 

President  of  the  Chicago  Medical  Society  in  its  early  years,  sanitarian  and 
teacher,  Dr.  Thomas  Bevan  for  more  than  a  quarter  of  a  century  was  one  of 
the  most  distinguished  physicians  of  Chicago. 

Dr.  Bevan  was  born  in  Cincinnati,  Ohio,  June  11,  1830.  He  was  graduated 
from  the  Ohio  Medical  College  in  1851,  spending  two  years  thereafter  in  the 
medical  department  of  the  University  of  Paris. 

In  1853  Dr.  Bevan  married  Miss  S.  E.  Ramsay  of  Clermont,  Ohio,  and  a 
year  later  he  began  the  practice  of  medicine  in  Chicago.  During  the  Civil 
War  he  was  one  of  the  attending  physicians  at  Camp  Douglas,  and  in  1866 
he  became  a  member  of  the  attending  surgical  staff  of  Cook  County  Hospital, 
continuing  in  that  relation  until  his  death. 

From  1867  to  1873  Dr.  Bevan  was  professor  of  hygiene  and  sanitation  in 
the  Chicago  Medical  College  and  from  1873  until  his  death,  professor  of 
clinical  medicine  and  climatology.  His  more  important  works  include  reports 
on  cholera  from  1867  to  1873  and  a  series  of  monographs  on  sanitary  science, 
which  were  published  in  book  form  in  1879. 

Dr.  Bevan  was  one  of  the  founders  of  the  Chicago  Medico-Historical  So- 
ciety, under  whose  supervision  the  medical  directories  of  those  days  were 
published,  and  was  a  member  of  the  Society  of  Physicians  and  Surgeons.  He 
was  also  a  member  of  the  American  Medical  Association,  the  Illinois  State 
and  Chicago  Medical  Societies,  being  president  of  the  last-named  in  1865-66. 

In  1898  his  son,  Dr.  Arthur  Dean  Bevan,  was  elected  president  of  the  Chi- 
cago Medical  Society,  the  only  instance  in  the  seventy-two  years  of  the 
society  where  the  son  of  an  ex-president  received  like  honor. 

Dr.  Bevan  was  one  of  the  best  known  physicians  of  Chicago  and  his  sudden 
death  was  a  great  shock  to  the  community.  He  was  found  dead  in  his  office 
March  15,  1880,  the  victim  of  an  apoplectic  seizure. 

WALTER     HAY 
(1830-1893) 

An  organizer  of  St.  Luke's  Hospital,  the  American  Neurological  Associa- 
tion, the  Chicago  Department  of  Health  and  the  department  of  mental  and 
nervous  diseases  in  Rush  Medical  College,  Dr.  Walter  Hay  was  a  teacher  and 
practitioner  in  Chicago  for  thirty-six  years. 

He  was  born  in  Georgetown,  D.  C.,  June  13,  1830.  His  father  was  Charles 
Eustace  Hay,  a  Virginia  lawyer,  and  his  grandfather  was  George  Hay,  Fed- 
eral Judge  of  the  eastern  district  of  Virginia. 

After  graduating  from  the  Jesuit  College  of  Georgetown,  Dr.  Hay  joined 
the  United  States  Coast  Survey  in  1847.  While  in  this  service  he  began  the 
study  of  medicine  and  in  1853  he  was  graduated  from  Columbian  Medical 
College,  Georgetown,  D.  C. 

In  1857  Dr.  Hay  came  to  Chicago,  where  the  remainder  of  his  life  was  de- 
voted to  practice  and  teaching.  In  1864  he  was  an  organizer  of  St.  Luke's 
Hospital  and  in  1867  of  the  Chicago  Department  of  Health.  The  same  year 
he  became  associated  with  Dr.  J.  Adams  Allen  in  editing  the  Chicago  Medical 
Journal.  In  1871  Dr.  Hay  was  chosen  secretary  of  the  committee  that  dis- 
bursed the  Chicago  Medical  Relief  Fund  for  fire  sufferers. 

At  this  time  Dr.  Hay  organized  the  department  of  mental  and  nervous 
diseases  in  Rush  Medical  College.  Two  years  later  he  established  a  similar 
department  in  St.  Joseph's  Hospital. 


HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO  85 

In  1875  he  was  appointed  Assistant  Surgeon,  U.  S.  Army,  on  the  staff  of 
Lieutenant  General  Philip  H.  Sheridan  and  in  the  same  year  he  aided  in 
organizing-  the  American  Neurological  Association.  In  1877  he  was  an  or- 
ganizer of  the  Dubuque  (Iowa)  Charity  Hospital.  From  1882  to  1885  he  was 
professor  of  materia  medica  and  from  the  latter  year  to  1889  was  professor  of 
neurology  in  the  Chicago  Medical  College. 

In  1856  Dr.  Hay  married  Miss  Rebecca  Ringgold  of  Maryland,  who  died  in 
1857.  Seven  years  later  he  married  Miss  Angelica  Rodney,  who  died  in  1865. 
His  third  wife  was  Miss  Maria  Jones  of  Iowa,  whom  he  married  in  1872. 

In  1890  Dr.  Hay  retired  to  a  farm  near  Annapolis,  Md.,  where  he  died 
February  13,  1893. 

ERNST     S  C  H  M I D T 
(1830-1900) 

Participant  in  the  German  Revolution  of  1848. 

Veteran  of  the  civil  war. 

Member  of  the  first  staff  of  the  Alexian  Brothers  Hospital. 

One  of  the  sponsors  of  the  first  Jewish  Hospital  in  Chicago. 

Coroner  of  Cook  County. 

Classical  scholar. 

Such  was  Dr.  Ernst  Schmidt,  who  was  born  in  Bavaria  in  1830.  His  medi- 
cal education  was  obtained  in  the  Universities  of  Zurich,  Heidelberg,  Munich 
and  Wiirzburg.  He  was  graduated  from  the  last  named  in  1852.  After  a 
post-graduate  course  in  Prague  and  Vienna,  he  was  appointed  assistant  in  the 
hospital  of  the  University  of  Wiirzburg.  There  he  served  until  1857,  when 
he  came  to  Chicago. 

Having  taken  an  active  part  in  the  German  revolution  of  1848,  Dr.  Schmidt 
.encountered  many  of  his  former  comrades  here  and  he  immediately  became 
active  in  German  circles.  Thus  he  became  one  of  the  organizers  and  a  vice- 
president  of  the  German  Medical  Society  of  Chicago. 

In  1860  he  received  an  appointment  in  the  Humboldt  Medical  College  of  St. 
Louis,  which,  founded  in  1857,  was  the  first  medical  college  in  this  country 
with  a  graduated  three  years'  system  of  education,  and  removed  to  that 
city.  With  the  outbreak  of  the  civil  war,  however,  he  entered  the  Union  Army 
as  surgeon  of  the  Second  Missouri  Volunteers.  Disability  resulting  from  ex- 
posure compelled  his  retirement  from  the  service  and  he  returned  to  Chicago. 
He  was  elected  coroner  of  Cook  county  in  1864. 

In  1867  the  Alexian  Brothers  Hospital  was  chartered  and  Dr.  Schmidt  was 
appointed  to  membership  on  its  staff.  Throughout  the  remainder  of  his  life 
he  was  identified  with  this  institution. 

Dr.  Schmidt  and  Dr.  Ralph  N.  Isham  were  the  first  professional  sponsors 
of  a  Jewish  Hospital  in  Chicago  and  it  was  largely  through  their  influence 
that  such  a  hospital  was  started  at  the  corner  of  Schiller  Street  and  LaSalle 
Avenue  in  1869.  This  was  the  nucleus  of  Michael  Reese  Hospital,  whose  staff 
Dr.  Schmidt  organized.  He  was  also  one  of  the  organizers  of  the  German 
American  Dispensary  in  1873,  and  was  consultant  to  St.  Joseph's  Hospital  for 
many  years. 

In  1879  Dr.  Schmidt  received  11,829  votes  as  the  Social  Democratic  candi- 
date for  mayor  of  Chicago,  out  of  a  total  vote  of  66,910.  His  vote,  far  in  ex- 
cess of  that  usually  cast  for  candidates  of  the  Social  Democratic  party,  evi- 
dently was  drawn  from  the  Republican  party,  thereby  electing  to  the  mayor-

alty  Carter  H.  Harrison,  the  Democratic  candidate,  whose  votes  exceeded  that 
of  the  Republican  candidate  by  a  few  thousand  only. 

He  was  a  classical  scholar  of  distinction.  He  retained  his  fluency  in  Latin 
conversation  to  the  last,  and  his  knowledge  of  Greek  enabled  him  to  translate 
a  hitherto  untranslated  drama  by  Aeschylus  in  the  later  years  of  his  life. 

In  1856  he  married  Miss  Therese  Weickard,  who  survived  him. 

Dr.  Schmidt's  sons  are  Doctor  Otto  L.  Schmidt  and  Louis  E.  Schmidt  and 
Richard  E.  Schmidt,  an  architect.  Frederick  M.  Schmidt,  another  son,  who 
was  a  pharmacist,  died  in  1918. 

Dr.  Ernst  Schmidt  died  August  26,  1900. 

NILES     T.     QUALES 
(1831-1914) 

Traditional  devotion  of  the  physician  to  his  patients  had  heroic  exempli- 
fication during  the  great  Chicago  fire  when  Dr.  Niles  T.  Quales  was  in  charge 
of  the  Marine  Hospital.  As  the  flames  menaced  the  lives  of  sixty-seven  sick 
men,  Dr.  and  Mrs.  Quales,  deserted  by  all  the  hospital  help  except  two 
nurses,  rescued  every  inmate,  including  two  men  with  broken  legs.  Dr.  and 
Mrs.  Quales  were  the  last  to  remain  on  the  scene  and  escaped  with  their  lives 
in  an  express  wagon  which  they  commandeered.  The  keys  of  the  old  Marine 
Hospital  are  still  preserved  in  the  Quales  family  as  a  memento  of  the 
conflagration. 

Dr.  Quales  was  born  in  Hardanger,  Norway,  January  17,  1831.  He  was 
graduated  from  the  Royal  Veterinary  College  in  Copenhagen  in  1856,  and 
came  to  Chicago  in  1859. 

He  entered  the  Union  Army  in  1861  and  by  General  Sherman  was  placed 
in  charge  of  the  Veterinary  Hospital  at  Nashville,  where  he  began  the 
study  of  medicine  and  served  until  the  expiration  of  his  enlistment. 

Graduating  from  Rush  Medical  College  in  1866,  he  became  one  of  the  first 
internes  at  Cook  County  Hospital.  He  was  City  Physician  from  1868  to  1870 
and  had  charge  of  the  smallpox  hospital  in  the  epidemic  of  that  time.  There- 
after he  was  made  head  of  the  United  States  Marine  Hospital. 

In  1892  he  helped  to  organize  the  Tabitha  Hospital  and  in  1896  he  aided 
in  the  establishment  of  the  Lutheran  Deaconess  Home  and  Hospital.  For 
many  years  he  was  attending  physician  at  these  institutions. 

He  was  one  of  the  founders  of  the  Norwegian  Old  People's  Home  at  Nor- 
wood Park.  In  1910  he  was  made  a  knight  of  the  order  of  St.  Olaf  by  King 
Haakon  of  Norway. 

He  died  May  23,  1914. 

RALPH     NELSON     ISHAM 
(1831-1904) 

By  performing  a  tracheotomy  for  quinsy  on  a  son  of  the  leading  Presby- 
terian minister,  Dr.  Ralph  Nelson  Isham  made  his  professional  start  in 
Chicago.  Though  this  locally  unheard  of  proceeding  was  vehemently  opposed 
by  many  of  the  pious  parishioners  as  a  direct  interference  with  the  ways  of 
providence,  Dr.  Isham's  successful  handling  of  the  case  gave  him  immediate 
prestige. 

Dr.  Isham  was  born  at  Mannheim,  New  York,  March  16,  1831.  He  was 
educated  at  Herkimer  Academy,  Little  Falls,  N.  Y.,  and  was  graduated  from 
the  Medical  College  of  Bellevue  Hospital,  New  York  City,  in  1854.  After  a 
trip  abroad  for  post-graduate  work  he  settled  in  Chicago  in  1855.  When  the 


88  HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO 

City  Hospital  building-  was  erected  at  Eighteenth  and  Arnold  streets  in  1856, 
Dr.  Isham  became  a  member  of  its  medical  staff.  In  1859  he  joined  Doctors 
N.  S.  Davis,  David  Rutter,  Hosmer  A.  Johnson,  William  H.  Byford,  John  H. 
Hollister  and  Edmund  Andrews  in  establishing  the  Chicago  Medical  College. 
For  many  years  he  held  the  chair  of  surgery  and  anatomy  in  that  institution. 

In  1857  Dr.  Isham  married  Miss  Katherine  Snow,  daughter  of  George  W. 
Snow;  their  children  were  Dr.  George  S.  Isham,  Ralph  Isham,  Mrs.  A.  L. 
Farwell  and  Mrs.  George  A.  Carpenter. 

At  the  outbreak  of  the  civil  war  Dr.  Isham  became  a  contract  surgeon  and 
was  one  of  the  organizers  of  the  United  States  Sanitary  Commission.  He 
went  twice  to  the  battle  zone  in  its  interest.  In  1862  he  was  appointed 
surgeon  in  chief  of  the  Marine  Hospital  which  had  become,  temporarily,  a 
military  hospital.  Upon  reversion  to  its  original  purpose,  Dr.  Isham  con- 
tinued in  charge  of  the  institution  until  the  late  seventies. 

Dr.  Isham  was  chief  surgeon  of  the  Chicago  and  Northwestern  Railway 
Company,  consulting  surgeon  of  the  Cook  County,  Presbyterian  and  Passa- 
vant  hospitals,  and  surgeon;  with  the  rank  of  major,  of  the  First  Regiment, 
Illinois  National  Guard.  Dr.  Isham  was  a  delegate  to  the  International 
Medical  Congress  which  met  at  London  in  1881.  He  was  a  member  of  the 
American  Medical  Association,  the  Illinois  State  and  Chicago  Medical  so- 
cieties. He  received  an  honorary  degree  from  the  University  of  the  City  of 
New  York  and  from  Northwestern  University. 

Dr.  Isham  died  May  28,  1904. 

REUBEN     LUDLAM 
(1831-1899) 

Dean  and  later  president  of  Hahnemann  Medical  College,  senior  professor 
of  gynecology  in  that  institution,  head  of  the  staff  of  Hahnemann  Hospital, 
president  of  the  American  Institute  of  Homeopathy  and  for  fifteen  years 
member  of  the  Illinois  State  Board  of  Health,  Dr.  Reuben  Ludlam  is  an  out- 
standing figure  in  the  medical  history  of  Chicago. 

With  Dr.  David  S.  Smith,  Dr.  Ludlam  drafted  the  charter  of  Hahnemann 
Medical  College  in  the  office  of  Abraham  Lincoln  and  for  nearly  half  a  cen- 
tury he  was  one  of  the  strongest  protagonists  of  homeopathy  in  the  west. 

Dr.  Ludlam  was  born  in  Camden,  Newr  Jersey,  October  7,  1831.  His 
father,  Dr.  Jacob  Ludlam,  was  a  successful  physician  and  all  the  traditions 
of  the  family  were  in  a  professional  line.  As  a  child,  he  accompanied  his 
father  in  his  daily  round  of  visits  and  on  his  long  drives  and  his  only  ambi- 
tion, as  he  expressed  it,  was  to  become  as  great  and  useful  a  man  as  his 
father. 

The  son  attended  the  academy  at  Bridgeton,  New  Jersey,  from  which  he 
was  graduated  with  the  highest  honors.  On  leaving  school,  he  began  a  sys- 
tematic course  of  medical  study  under  the  supervision  of  his  father  and  sub- 
sequently entered  the  University  of  Pennsylvania,  from  which  he  received 
his  diploma  in  1852.  Soon  after  graduation  he  came  to  Chicago  and  entered 
upon  the  practice  of  his  profession. 

Dr.  Ludlam's  father  was  an  allopathic  practitioner.  Reuben  Ludlam  had 
been  educated  in  an  allopathic  school  and  he  practiced  allopathy,  but  the 
success  of  homeopathic  physicians  in  the  treatment  of  cholera  so  impressed 
him  that  he  was  forced  to  investigate  its  teachings  and,  being  convinced  of 
the  truth  of  the  new  theory,  he  cast  aside  his  old  beliefs  and  became  a  home- 
opathic practitioner. 


HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO  89 

In  1853  Dr.  Ludlam  associated  himself  with  Dr.  David  S.  Smith,  and  from 
that  time  on,  Dr.  Ludlam  actively  co-operated  with  every  plan  that  was 
formed  to  advance  the  cause  of  homeopathy.  In  1853,  Dr.  Shipman  started 
the  "Chicago  Homeopath"  and  a  year  later  Dr.  Ludlam,  at  the  age  of  23, 
became  its  editor. 

In  1859,  Hahnemann  Medical  College  was  organized  and  in  the  list  of  the 
first  faculty  appears  the  name  of  R.  Ludlam,  M.  D.,  professor  of  physiology, 
pathology  and  clinical  medicine. 

For  twenty-five  years,  from  1866  to  1891,  he  was  dean  of  Hahnemann  Medi- 
cal College,  presided  at  the  meetings  of  its  faculty  and  labored  to  his  utmost 
for  its  success.  Upon  the  death  of  Dr.  Smith  in  1891,  Dr.  Ludlam  was  elected 
president  of  the  board  of  trustees,  which  position  he  occupied  at  the  time 
of  his  death. 

At  various  times  he  held  the  presidency  of  the  American  Institute  of 
Homeopathy,  the  Chicago  Academy  of  Homeopathy,  the  Illinois  Homeopathic 
Medical  Society,  the  Western  Institute  of  Homeopathy  and  the  Clinical 
Society.  He  was  an  honorary  member  of  neary  every  state  homeopathic 
organization,  as  well  as  those  of  several  foreign  countries.  When  the  Illinois 
State  Board  of  Health  was  organized  in  1877,  Dr.  Ludlam  was  called  upon 
by  Governor  Cullom  to  serve  his  state  and  for  fifteen  years  he  was  an  active 
member  of  that  body. 

Besides  having  been  editor  of  the  "Chicago  Homeopath,"  Dr.  Ludlam  was 
associated  editorially  with  the  "North  American  Journal  of  Homeopathy," 
the  "United  States  Medical  and  Surgical  Journal"  and  the  "Clinique."  His 
work,  "Clinical  and  Didactic  Lectures  on  Diseases  of  Women,"  was  published 
in  1871  and  passed  through  seven  editions. 

Dr.  Ludlam  was  twice  married.  His  first  wife,  who  was  Anna  M.  Porter, 
died  three  years  after  their  marriage.  Several  years  later  he  married  Miss 
Harriet  V.  Parvin,  who,  with  his  son,  Reuben  Ludlam,  survived  him. 

"A  bare  recital  of  the  positions  held  by  Dr.  Ludlam  and  the  honors  con- 
ferred upon  him,"  says  a  commentator,  "can  give  no  adequate  idea  of  the 
great  influence  exerted  by  him  upon  every  one  with  whom  he  came  in  con- 
tact or  of  the  value  of  his  life  and  teachings  to  the  cause  of  homeopathy. 
Tall  of  stature,  of  fine  bearing,  with  irreproachable  manners,  courteous  and 
affable  in  his  intercourse  with  patients  and  brother  practitioners,  cultivated 
of  speech,  vigorous  of  thought,  endowed  with  a  fine  literary  sense,  he  could 
not  but  be  a  leader  wherever  he  was  placed.  To  a  new  sect  struggling  for 
a  place,  the  possession  of  such  a  man  was  an  unanswerable  argument  to  the 
cry  of  'knave  or  fool'  so  frequently  applied  to  the  homeopathic  practitioner. 
His  very  presence  at  a  mixed  medical  gathering  gave  a  dignity  to  the  school 
and  prevented  indulgence  in  vituperation  and  his  liberality  of  statement 
disarmed  antagonism  and  builded  for  harmony.  He  believed  that  home- 
opathy would  build  for  itself  a  place  not  by  town  meetings  and  denunciations 
of  an  opposing  system,  but  by  the  improvement  of  the  medical  schools,  by 
a  proper  education  of  its  practitioners,  by  exemplification  in  the  daily  life 
of  the  physicians  of  the  beneficial  influence  of  the  system  and  by  observing 
the  amenities  of  life." 

On  April  29,  1899,  Dr.  Ludlam  was  suddenly  stricken  while  in  the  act  of 
making  a  hysterectomy  for  the  removal  of  a  fibroid  tumor.  He  died  almost 
immediately.

SWAYNE     WICKERSHAM 
(1831-1895) 

President  of  the  Chicago  Medical  Society  in  civil  war  days,  organizer  of 
hospital  forces  sent  to  the  front  and  commissioner  of  health  of  the  city  of 
Chicago  were  some  of  the  conspicuous  roles  played  by  Dr.  Swayne  Wicker- 
sham  during  his  residence  of  forty  years  in  this  city. 

Of  Quaker  antecedents,  he  was  born  near  West  Chester,  Pennsylvania,  in 
October,  1831.  After  a  course  at  Ganses  Academy,  Unionville,  Pennsylvania, 
he  pursued  the  study  of  medicine  under  Dr.  John  Grove  of  Lancaster.  He 
was  graduated  from  Jefferson  Medical  College  in  1855,  and  proceeded  at  once 
to  Chicago,  where  he  began  practice. 

He  became  president  of  the  Chicago  Medical  Society  in  1862  and,  during 
the  war  of  the  rebellion,  his  religious  convictions  preventing  active  participa- 
tion, he  was  active  in  the  formation  of  hospital  detachments  that  were  sent 
to  the  combat  zone.  He  also  collected  commissary  supplies  for  the  soldiers 
in  the  field  and  was  one  of  a  committee  to  go  south  to  distribute  these  supplies. 

A  supporter  of  the  elder  Carter  Harrison,  he  was  elected  alderman  from  the 
first  ward  and  re-elected  for  a  second  term,  during  which  he  was  chairman  of 
the  finance  committee  of  the  Council. 

Mayor  Cregier  appointed  Dr.  Wickersham  commissioner  of  health  in  1889. 

Dr.  Wickersham  died  April  16,  1895. 


JOSEPH     SULLIVAN     HILDRETH 
(1832-1870) 

Pupil  of  Virchow  and  Des  Marres  and  surgeon  in  charge  of  the  military 
eye  and  ear  hospital  in  Chicago  during  the  Civil  War  days,  Dr.  Joseph 
Sullivan  Hildreth  was  a  pioneer  ophthalmologist  in  this  city. 

Dr.  Hildreth  was  born  in  Cohasset,  Norfolk  County,  Mass.,  May  1,  1832. 
He  was  graduated  from  the  medical  department  of  the  University  of  Penn- 
sylvania in  1856  and  went  immediately  to  Europe  to  continue  his  studies. 
His  preceptor  in  Berlin  was  the  great  Virchow  and,  in  Paris,  Dr.  Des  Marres, 
of  whose  eye  and  ear  institute  he  was  made  superintendent. 

Returning  to  the  United  States,  Dr.  Hildreth  proceeded  to  Detroit,  where 
in  June,  1862,  he  married  Miss  Mary  Elizabeth  Howard,  daughter  of  Jacob 
M.  Howard,  then  United  States  Senator  from  Michigan.  Dr.  Hildreth  was 
soon  summoned  to  Washington,  where,  under  the  direction  of  the  Surgeon 
General,  he  established  a  hospital  for  the  treatment  of  soldiers  afflicted  with 
diseases  of  the  eye  and  ear. 

Later  Dr.  Hildreth  \va&  commissioned  Surgeon  of  the  United  States 
Volunteers  with  station  at  Chicago.  His  mission  was  to  put  into  operation 
an  eye  and  ear  hospital  similar  to  the  institution  in  Washington.  The  old 
City  Hospital  was  commandeered  for  the  purpose.  He  named  the  establish- 
ment Des  Marres  Hospital  after  his  former  preceptor. 

He  was  the  first  professor  of  ophthalmology  and  otology  in  the  Chicago 
Medical  College.  He  held  that  position  at  the  time  of  his  death. 

Dr.  Hildreth,  who  had  acquired  a  large  income  from  his  practice,  resided 
in  a  dwelling  in  Michigan  Avenue  where  the  Pullman  building  stands.  His 
death  came  suddenly  July  22,  1870,  as  the  result  of  an  overdose  of  gelsemin.

(1832-1893) 

Medical  director  in  two  divisions  of  the  Union  Army  and  one  of  the  or- 
ganizers of  the  Cook  County  Hospital,  Dr.  Roswell  Griswold  Bogue  was 
twice  president  of  the  Chicago  Medical  Society. 

Dr.  Bogue  was  born  in  Louisville,  St.  Lawrence  County,  New  York,  May  2, 
1832.  After  attending  the  Academy  in  Castleton,  Vt.,  he  taught  school.  He 
read  medicine  in  Columbus,  Ohio,  and  then  entered  the  College  of  Physicians 
and  Surgeons  in  New  York  City,  where  he  was  graduated  in  the  winter  of 
1856-57. 

In  1857  Dr.  Bogue  located  in  Chicago  and  was  absorbed  in  his  practice 
when  the  Civil  War  supervened.  On  August  5,  1861,  Dr.  Bogue  was  com- 
missioned as  a  major  and  assigned  as  surgeon  of  the  Nineteenth  Illinois  Vol- 
unteer Infantry.  He  served  with  that  organization  until  March,  1863,  when 
he  was  appointed  medical  director  of  the  Second  Division  of  the  Fourteenth 
Army  Corps.  When  the  Army  of  the  Cumberland  was  reorganized  in  Octo- 
ber, 1863,  he  was  transferred  to  the  Third  Division  of  the  Fourteenth  Army 
Corps  as  medical  director.  He  was  present  with  this  command  at  the  battles 
of  Chickamauga,  Chattanooga,  Missionary  Ridge  and  Buzzard's  Roost. 

Dr.  Bogue's  friends  believed  that  eyestrain  incurred  during  numerous 
operations  performed  in  the  field  by  the  flickering  light  of  torches  and  candles 
laid  the  foundation  for  the  blindness  that  afflicted  him  years  afterward. 

Upon  being  mustered  out  of  the  service  Dr.  Bogue  returned  to  Chicago  and 
resumed  practice.  He  was  one  of  the  organizers  of  Cook  County  Hospital 
and  for  thirteen  years  was  one  of  its  attending  surgeons. 

Dr.  Bogue  was  the  first  professor  of  surgery  of  the  Woman's  Medical  Col- 
lege and  was  also  consulting  surgeon  for  both  Presbyterian  and  St.  Joseph's 
hospitals.  He  was  elected  president  of  the  Chicago  Medical  Society  in  1869 
and  again  in  1880. 

During  the  last  years  of  his  life  Dr.  Bogue  was  totally  blind.  He  died 
December  8,  1893. 

GEORGE    KERSHAW    AMERMAN 
(1832-1867) 

Coadjutor  of  Dr.  Joseph  Presley  Ross  in  the  founding  of  Cook  County  Hos- 
pital, Dr.  George  Kershaw  Amerman  was  active  in  Chicago  as  a  teacher  and 
practitioner. 

He  was  born  near  Marcellus,  New  York,  July  12,  1832.  After  his  gradua- 
tion from  the  medical  department  of  the  University  of  the  City  of  New  York 
in  1854,  Dr.  Amerman  devoted  two  years  to  clinical  study  in  Bellevue  Hos- 
pital and  in  European  hospitals. 

With  an  early  preceptor,  Dr.  Joel  R.  Gore,  Dr.  Amerman  came  to  Chicago 
in  1856.  He  was  elected  to  membership  in  the  Chicago  Medical  Society  and 
in  1858  was  a  delegate  to  the  convention  of  the  Illinois  State  Medical  Society. 

Dr.  Amerman  married  Miss  Sarah  Matilda  Lovelace  October  19,  1858.  He 
was  a  member  of  the  clinical  staff  of  Rush  Medical  College,  delivering  lectures 
at  the  City  Hospital.  Later  he  was  quiz  master  on  surgery  at  Rush  Medical 
College.  From  the  City  Hospital  was  evolved  the  Cook  County  Hospital,  in 
the  foundation  of  which  Dr.  Amerman  gave  strong  support  to  Dr.  Ross. 

Dr.  Amerman  was  a  member  of  the  staff  of  Cook  County  Hospital  but  a 
year  when  he  died,  June  2,  1867,  a  victim  of  tuberculosis.  His  wife  had  died 
of  the  same  ailment  but  a  short  time  before.

EDWARD     OSCAR     FITZALAN     ROLER 
(1833-1907) 

Medical  director  of  an  army  corps  in  the  Civil  War,  student  in  the  hospitals 
of  Vienna  and  Berlin  and  associate  of  Dr.  W.  H.  Byford,  Dr.  Edward  Oscar 
Fitzalan  Roler  was  a  leading  obstetrician  in  Chicago  for  more  than  forty 
years. 

He  was  born  at  Winchester,  Va.,  March  6,  1833.  His  family  having,  moved 
to  Indiana,  he  received  his  academic  education  at  De  Pauw  University,  where 
he  was  awarded  the  degree  of  Master  of  Arts,  and  in  1859  he  was  graduated 
from  Rush  Medical  College. 

At  the  outbreak  of  the  Civil  War  he  entered  the  Union  Army  as  assistant 
surgeon  of  the  Forty-second  Illinois  Volunteers  and  was  soon  advanced  to 
the  duties  of  surgeon  of  the  Fifty-fifth  Illinois  Volunteers.  Subsequently  he 
served  on  the  staff  of  General  William  T.  Sherman  when  he  was  a  corps 
commander  and  later  on  the  staff  of  General  John  A.  Logan,  acting  as  medical 
director  of  the  Fifteenth  Army  Corps. 

After  the  war  Dr.  Roler  devoted  a  year  to  study  in  the  hospitals  of  Vienna 
and  Berlin.  In  the  latter  city  he  met  Miss  Doretta  J.  Doering,  daughter  of 
Rev.  C.  H.  Doering,  superintendent  of  the  Methodist  Missions  of  Germany. 
They  were  married  at  Berea,  Ohio,  in  1867.  Dr.  Roler  then  returned  to 
Chicago  and  resumed  practice. 

In  1868,  jointly  with  Dr.  W.  H.  Byford,  his  preceptor  in  medicine,  Dr.  Roler 
was  appointed  professor  of  obstetrics  and  diseases  of  women  and  children  in 
the  Chicago  Medical  College.  He  held  this  position  for  many  years.  Dr. 
Roler  was  a  member  of  the  American  Medical  Association,  the  Illinois  State 
and  Chicago  Medical  societies  and  the  Loyal  Legion.  He  was  for  two  years 
surgeon  at  the  United  States  Marine  Hospital. 

Dr.  Roler  retired  from  practice  three  years  before  his  death,  which  oc- 
curred April  18,  1907.  A  son,  Dr.  Albert  H.  Roler  of  Evanston,  followed  his 
father  in  the  practice  of  medicine. 

LEMUEL     CONANT    GROSVENOR 
(1833-1914) 

Once  master  of  "the  oldest  free  school  in  the  United  States,"  Dr.  Lemuel 
Conant  Grosvenor  was  in  later  years  one  of  the  leading  homeopathic  physi- 
cians in  Chicago. 

He  was  born  at  Paxton,  Mass.,  March  22,  1833,  a  son  of  Silas  N.  and 
Mary  A.  Grosvenor.  He  was  a  graduate  of  Williston  Seminary  at  East  Hamp- 
shire and  the  high  school  of  Worcester,  Mass.  After  teaching  in  a  pioneer  dis- 
trict school  in  Wisconsin,  to  which  his  parents  had  moved  when  he  was  seven- 
teen years  old,  he  taught  in  several  schools  in  Massachusetts,  being  for  two 
years  head  master  of  the  Mather  School  of  Dorchester,  said  to  be  the  oldest 
free  school  in  the  country. 

Dr.  Grosvenor  received  his  medical  degree  from  the  Cleveland  (Ohio) 
Homeopathic  Medical  College  in  1864.  He  practiced  medicine  in  Peoria,  111., 
from  1864  to  1868  and  at  Galesburg,  111.,  from  1868  to  1870.  He  then  moved 
to  Chicago,  where  he  practiced  until  his  retirement  in  1907. 

With  the  organization  of  the  Chicago  Homeopathic  Medical  College  in 
1876,  he  was  chosen  lecturer  on  the  theory  and  practice  of  medicine  and  the 
chair  of  sanitary  science  was  created  for  him.  He  was  connected  with  this 
institution  until  1899,  when  he  became  professor  emeritus  of  obstetrics  and 
sanitary  science  at  Hahnemann  Medical  College.

He  was  a  member  of  the  American  Institute  of  Homeopathy  and  for  three 
terms  was  president  of  the  Chicago  Academy  of  Homeopathic  Physicians  and 
Surgeons.  He  was  also  president  of  the  American  Paidological  Society, 
1864-67. 

On  February  27,  1865,  Dr.  Grosvenor  married  Miss  Ellen  M.  Prouty  of 
Dorchester,  Mass.,  who  died  in  1874.  He  married  Miss  Naomi  Josephine 
Bassett  of  Taunton,  Mass.,  June  25,  1877.  A  son  of  the  first  marriage,  Dr. 
Wallace  F.  Grosvenor,  is  a  practicing  physician  in  Chicago. 

After  his  retirement  in  1907,  Dr.  Grosvenor  moved  to  Taunton,  Mass., 
where  he  died  July  17,  1914. 

FRANCIS  LIBBY  WADSWORTH 
(1833-1891) 

Pupil  and  associate  of  Doctors  J.  V.  Z.  Blaney  and  Joseph  W.  Freer,  Dr. 
Francis  Libby  Wadsworth  was  active  in  the  affairs  of  Rush  Medical  College 
and  the  Woman's  Medical  College. 

He  was  born  in  Hiram,  Oxford  County,  Maine,  June  18,  1833.  Ancestors 
were  General  Peleg  Wadsworth  of  the  Revolutionary  war  and  General 
William  Wadsworth  of  the  War  of  1812. 

Dr.  Wadsworth  worked  on  a  farm  until  he  was  seventeen.  He  then 
engaged  in  commercial  and  newspaper  work  until  1864.  Entering  upon  the 
study  of  medicine,  he  was  graduated  from  Rush  Medical  College  in  1869. 
During  his  senior  year  he  was  assistant  to  Dr.  Blaney  in  his  chemical  labora- 
tory and  to  Dr.  Freer  in  his  physiological  laboratory. 

Upon  graduation  Dr.  Wadsworth  began  his  practice  in  the  office  of  Dr. 
Freer  and  upon  the  death  of  the  latter  he  was  appointed  lecturer  on  physiology 
and  histology  in  the  spring  course  at  Rush  Medical  College.  He  occupied  that 
position  from  1870  to  1880.  In  1880  and  1881  he  was  adjunct  professor  of  phy- 
siology. From  1880  until  1888  he  was  professor  of  physiology  and  histology  in 
the  Woman's  Medical  College,  where  he  was  advanced  to  the  chair  of  theory 
and  practice  of  medicine,  which  position  he  held  at  the  time  of  his  death. 
For  several  years  he  had  been  physician  in  charge  of  St.  Joseph's  Hospital. 

Dr.  Wadsworth  was  first  married  in  1868,  but  two  years  later  his  wife  died. 
In  1872  he  married  Miss  F.  Robinson  of  Rhode  Island,  who,  with  their  son 
Charles  Freer  Wadsworth,  now  a  dental  surgeon  of  Chicago,  survived  him. 
Dr.  Wadsworth  died  August  26,  1891. 

THEODORE    A.     EDWIN     KLEBS 
(1834-1913) 

"One  of  the  most  original  spirits  in  modern  medicine,  a  great  pioneer  of 
the  bacterial  theory  of  infection,  a  pupil  of  Virchow,  a  contemporary  of 
Pasteur,  and,  in  a  very  definite  sense,  the  inspirer  of  Koch." 

This  has  been  written  concerning  Dr.  Edwin  Klebs,  as  he  was  generally 
known,  who  spent  several  of  his  most  active  years  in  Chicago,  where  he 
exerted  an  influence  in  pathological  study  and  practice. 

Born  in  Konigsberg,  Germany,  February  6,  1834,  Dr.  Klebs  from  1855  to 
1857  pursued  his  studies  in  his  native  place  and  at  Jena,  Wiirzburg  and 
Berlin.  These  led  him  to  enter  the  scientific  and  medical  province  in  which 
he  became  noted. 

The  famous  Virchow  was  professor  of  pathology  at  Wiirzburg  when  Dr. 
Klebs  was  a  student  there  and  from  1861  to  1866  he  served  as  assistant  to

the  noted  teacher.  The  following-  six  years  were  spent  by  Dr.  -Klebs  as 
professor  of  general  pathology  and  pathological  anatomy  in  the  University 
of  Bern. 

In  1872-73  he  held  the  chair  of  his  former  teacher,  Virchow,  in  the  Uni- 
versity of  Wiirzburg.  There  followed  nine  years  as  professor  of  pathologi- 
cal anatomy  in  the  University  of  Prague,  and  from  1882  to  1891  he  held 
the  same  chair  in  the  University  of  Zurich. 

After  twenty-five  years  of  teaching  service  he  resigned  in  1891,  intending 
to  devote  his  time  to  scientific  investigation.  But  in  1894  he  accepted  an 
invitation  of  Dr.  Karl  von  Ruck,  then  director  of  the  Winyah  Sanitarium 
for  diseases  of  the  lungs  and  throat  at  Ashville,  North  Carolina,  to  visit  the 
institution,  where  he  remained  for  several  months. 

In  1896  he  was  prevailed  upon  to  occupy  the  chair  of  pathology  in  Rush 
Medical  College  in  Chicago,  where  he  remained  until  1900.  After  his  serv- 
ice at  Rush  he  returned  to  Europe,  living  at  Dortmund  and  Bern,  where  he 
died  in  1913. 

In  1867  Dr.  Klebs  married  Miss  Rosa  Brossenbacher.  Three  children  lived 
to  maturity,  one  of  whom  is  Dr.  Arnold  C.  Klebs. 

As  a  pioneer  in  the  study  of  infectious  diseases,  Dr.  Klebs  preceded  Pas- 
teur and  Koch.  He  was  first  to  see  and  describe  the  bacillus  of  typhoid 
fever  and  that  of  diphtheria.  All  through  the  early  literature  on  bacteriology 
his  name  is  frequently  seen.  While  he  was  a  master  in  pathological  anat- 
omy, he  realized  that  post-mortem  findings  were  only  end-results. 

GEORGE    ALEXANDER     HALL 
(1834-1893) 

Dr.  George  Alexander  Hall  was  born  in  Sheridan,  Chautauqua  County, 
New  York,  June  5,  1834.  He  was  educated  at  Fredonia  and  Westfield  acade- 
mies, New  York.  In  1850  he  began  the  study  of  medicine  with  Dr.  L.  M. 
Kenyon  at  Westfield.  In  1852  he  attended  medical  lectures  at  Berkshire 
Medical  College,  Pittsfield,  Massachusetts.  Three  years  later  he  went  to 
Philadelphia,  where  he  took  clinical  courses  at  Jefferson  Medical  College 
and  Blockley  Hospital  and  didactic  courses  at  the  Pennsylvania  Medical 
College,  from  which  he  was  graduated  in  1856. 

He  then  returned  to  Westfield  and  began  the  practice  of  medicine.  In 
1857  he  married  Miss  Frances  S.  Sherman.  In  1872  he  moved  to  Chicago 
and  the  following  year  he  was  elected  to  the  faculty  of  the  Hahnemann  Medi- 
cal College.  During  a  period  of  nearly  twenty  years,  he  was  successively 
professor  of  surgical  pathology  and  surgical  anatomy,  of  obstetrics  and  of 
clinical  and  operative  surgery.  He  was  also  surgeon-in-chief  of  Hahnemann 
Hospital  and  general  surgeon  of  the  Chicago  Surgical  Institute,  which  he 
founded  March  1,  1881. 

He  died  April  4,  1893. 

HENRY     MERCKLE 
(1835-1898) 

In  1854  the  cholera  plague  made  one  of  its  frequently  recurring  visits  to 
Chicago.  Its  ravages  at  this  time  were  particularly  severe.  Ten  persons 
died  of  the  epidemic  in  one  night  in  a  house  in  the  neighborhood  of  State 
Street  and  Hubbard  Court.  Henry  Merckle  lived  there  and  his  harrowing 
experience  convinced  him  of  the  need  for  more  physicians  in  Chicago.  He 


98  HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO 

decided  to  become  one  himself.  He  did  so  and  for  more  than  thirty  years  was 
a  practitioner  in  the  district  where  cholera  had  taken  such  heavy  toll.  . 

Dr.  Merckle  was  born  January  8,  1835  in  Ebenkoben,  Bavaria.  He  re- 
ceived his  early  education  in  his  native  town,  after  which  he  attended  the 
Gymnasium  in  Speier,  Germany,  where  he  prepared  himself  for  the  drug 
trade. 

In  1853  he  came  to  Chicago  and  entered  the  drug  store  of  his  brother-in-law, 
Dr.  Mahla,  at  the  corner  of  State  Street  and  Hubbard  Court,  which  was  at 
that  time  on  the  outskirts  of  the  town.  The  district  had  no  public  water 
supply  and  the  residents  had  to  carry  water  from  the  lake.  The  following 
year  came  the  cholera  epidemic  which  prompted  Dr.  Merckle  to  study 
medicine. 

He  returned  to  Germany  and  entered  the  University  of  Wiirzburg.  After 
graduating  from  the  institution,  he  proceeded  to  the  University  of  Vienna, 
where  he  pursued  special  branches.  Having  thus  spent  nearly  six  years  in 
preparation  for  medical  practice,  he  returned  to  Chicago,  where  he  opened 
an  office  at  what  was  then  377  State  Street.  Here  he  followed  his  profession 
for  more  than  thirty  years,  devoting  much  of  his  time  to  charity  work. 

In  1875  he  married  Miss  Elsie  Stein. 

Ill  health  compelled  Dr.  Merckle  to  retire  in  1893.  He  died  September  22, 
1898,  survived  by  his  widow  and  two  daughters,  Mrs.  Marie  Weber  and  Mrs. 
Meta  M.  Pfeiffer.  A  third  daughter,  Mrs.  Frida  Gail,  had  died  previously  in 
Konstanz,  Germany. 

GUSTAV     HESSERT 
(1835-1909) 

Student  at  the  universities  of  Prague,  Vienna  and  Wiirzburg,  Dr.  Gustav 
Hessert  was  a  distinguished  pathologist  and  practitioner  in  Chicago  for 
forty  years. 

Dr.  Hessert  was  born  in.  Landau,  Germany,  March  12,  1835.  When  he 
completed  his  preliminary  education  in  the  gymnasium,  he  studied  medicine 
in  the  Universities  of  Prague  and  Wiirzburg.  He  received  his  degree  from 
the  last  named  institution  in  1858.  After  serving5  as  assistant  at  the  Wiirz- 
burg Policlinic  for  several  years,  Dr.  Hessert  engaged  in  active  practice. 

In  1862  Dr.  Hessert  married  Miss  Marie  Geys  of  Wiirzburg.  Six  years 
later  he  proceeded  to  the  United  States,  coming  directly  to  Chicago.  He 
first  located  in  Archer  Avenue  near  Twenty-second  Street.  In  1876  he 
moved  to  the  north  side.  Dr.  Hessert  was  an  internist  and,  owing  to  his 
knowledge  of  pathology  and  diagnosis,  his  advice  was  much  valued  in  con- 
sultation. 

During  the  late  seventies  Dr.  Hessert  was  a  member  of  the  medical  staff 
of  Cook  County  Hospital  and  soon  after  the  organization  of  the  German 
Hospital  he  was  made  a  member  of  its  medical  service.  He  continued  in 
that  capacity  for  twenty  years. 

Dr.  Hessert  died  April  9,  1909.  He  was  survived  by  his  widow  and  three 
sons,  Frederick,  Gustav  and  Dr.  William  Hessert. 

GAYLORD     D.     BEEBE 

(1835-1877) 

Zealot  in  the  cause  of  homeopathy,  surgeon  under  Generals  Halleck,  Grant 
and  Thomas,  teacher  and  originator  of  surgical  methods,  Dr.  Gaylord  D. 
Beebe  was  a  leading  practitioner  in  Chicago. 


HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO  99 

He  was  born  at  Palmyra,  Wayne  County,  New  York,  May  28,  1835.  His 
father,  a  farmer  in  indigent  circumstances,  opposed  the  son's  desire  for 
knowledge.  Encouraged  by  his  mother,  he  attended  Genesee  Wesleyan  Semi- 
nary when  17  years  of  age.  Later  by  performing  manual  labor,  he  maintained 
himself  at  Union  College,  where  he  pursued  his  courses  to  the  junior  year. 
This  was  followed  by  a  course  of  medical  study  in  the  office  of  Dr.  L.  N. 
Pratt  of  Albany,  New  York.  Here  he  also  attended  the  full  course  required 
by  the  Albany  Medical  College,  but,  being  under  age  as  well  as  in  straitened 
circumstances,  he  could  not  apply  for  the  degree.  He  proceeded  to  Phila- 
delphia and  after  a  full  course  was  graduated  at  the  Homeopathic  Medical 
College  of  Pennsylvania  in  1857. 

At  this  institution  he  was  invited  to  become  a  beneficiary  of  the  dean  of 
the  faculty,  who  had  learned  of  his  pecuniary  circumstances.  He  declined 
this  offer  and  struggled  along,  obtaining  whatever  hospital  and  clinical 
instruction  was  then  available  in  Philadelphia. 

Dr.  Beebe  then  came  west  and  located  in  Chicago,  May  1,  1857,  and  became 
associated  with  Dr.  Alvan  E.  Small.  In  1858  he  was  chosen  to  fill  the  chair 
of  anatomy  in  Hahnemann  Medical  College.  He  accepted  and  held  the  posi- 
tion until  the  Civil  War  supervened. 

At  the  outbreak  of  the  war,  President  Lincoln  commissioned  him  as  brigade 
surgeon,  but  when  he  presented  himself  before  the  members  of  the  state 
medical  board,  they  declined  to  examine  him.  Dr.  Beebe  then  procured  an 
order  from  President  Lincoln  directing  the  board  to  examine  him.  He 
passed  the  examination  and  received  the  appointment. 

At  this  time,  Dr.  Beebe  encountered  opposition  in  his  effort  to  secure 
recognition  of  homeopathy  by  the  United  States  government  and  its  intro- 
duction generally  into  the  military  service.  This  opposition  he  was  unable 
to  overcome. 

Now  a  recognized  army  surgeon,  he  was  ordered  by  the  Surgeon  General 
to  duty  with  a  brigade  under  General  Hunter  in  Kansas.  Subsequently 
he  served  under  Generals  Halleck,  Grant  and  Thomas.  He  was  medical 
director  of  the  Fourteenth  Army  Corps  under  General  Thomas,  by  whom  he 
was  cited  for  especially  distinguished  service  at  Murphreesboro. 

In  April,  1863,  Dr.  Beebe  was  compelled  to  resign  his  commission  on 
account  of  ill  health.  Returning  to  Chicago,  he  resumed  practice  until  1868, 
when  his  chronic  cardiac  affection  recurred.  This  caused  him  to  relinquish 
his  practice  until  1874. 

In  the  spring  of  1877  dilatation  of  the  heart,  with  which  he  had  been  long 
afflicted,  prostrated  him.  He  died  April  11,  1877. 

In  1863  he  married  Miss  Mary  Brewster  of  Erie,  Pennsylvania,  who  sur- 
vived him. 

Dr.  Beebe  was  said  to  be  the  first  to  use  sulpho-carbolate  of  sodium  as  a 
preventive  in  scarlet  fever.  He  is  also  credited  with  being  the  first  to  intro- 
duce the  method  of  torsion  in  ovarian  diseases  in  place  of  the  old  clamps 
and  ligatures. 

His  most  successful  operation  was  one  where  strangulated  hernia  had 
produced  mortification  of  the  abdominal  viscera.  In  the  operation  a  large 
quantity  of  the  viscera  was  excised.  In  commenting  upon  this  case,  the 
London  Lancet  said,  "Since  this  operation,  life  is  never  to  be  despaired  of  in 
any  circumstances."

OSCAR     COLEMAN     DE     WOLF 
(1835-1910) 

Victor  in  a  prolonged  and  bitter  campaign  to  drive  the  packing  houses 
beyond  what  were  then  the  city  limits,  first  to  require  warning  cards  in  cases 
of  diphtheria  and  scarlet  fever,  first  to  establish  in  Chicago  a  public  labora- 
tory for  the  analysis  of  water  supply  and  food,  Dr.  Oscar  Coleman  DeWolf 
was  Commissioner  of  Health  in  this  city  for  twelve  years. 

Of  him  his  biographer,  Dr.  Arthur  R.  Reynolds,  says :  "His  administration 
of  his  office  was  characterized  by  courage,  vigor,  progress,  intelligence  and 
dignity.  It  gained  for  him  a  national  and  international  reputation.  He  was 
frequently  consulted  by  other  communities  and  was  in  his  day  the  most 
conspicuous  health  officer  in  the  country." 

Dr.  DeWolf  was  born  at  Chester  Center,  Mass.,  August  8,  1835.  He 
studied  at  the  Berkshire  Medical  College  of  Pittsfield,  Mass.,  and  at  the 
University  of  the  City  of  New  York,  from  both  of  which  institutions  he 
received  degrees.  In  1860  he  completed  a  two  years'  course  under  famous 
doctors  in  Paris  and  returned  to  America  to  enter  the  Union  Army.  He  was 
present  at  some  of  the  most  important  engagements  of  the  Civil  War. 

From  1866  to  1874  Dr.  DeWolf  engaged  in  the  practice  of  medicine  at 
Northampton,  Mass.,  where  he  married  Miss  Harriet  Lyman  in  1867.  On 
January  29,  1877,  he  was  appointed  Health  Commissioner  by  Mayor  Monroe 
Heath  on  recommendation  of  Dr.  Bowditch  of  Boston. 

Promptly  upon  his  accession  Dr.  DeWolf  attacked  the  scarlet  fever  and 
diphtheria  problem  by  enforcing  requirements  as  to  warning  cards. 

The  packing  houses  scattered  throughout  the  city  had  become  a  menace 
to  public  health.  Offal  was  dumped  into  the  river  or  the  lake.  Packing 
houses  on  the  south  branch  gave  off  their  odors  unrestrained.  Dr.  DeWolf 
started  to  clean  the  Augean  Stables.  He  met  with  determined  opposition 
and  continued  reverses  in  the  courts.  Finally  he  prevailed  and  the  packers 
were  forced  to  remove  beyond  Thirty-ninth  street,  then  the  southern  boun- 
dary of  the  city. 

Valuable  work  in  investigation  of  the  prevalence  of  trichinae  in  pork  was 
begun  in  1878  and  it  was  pointed  out  with  clearness  that  cooking  destroyed 
the  trichinae  and  that  there  was  no  trouble  from  trichinosis  in  human  beings 
except  among  those  who  ate  raw  pork. 

The  first  laboratory  in  the  department  of  health  was  established  by  Dr. 
DeWolf  in  1880.  In  1881  the  laboratory  efficiently  supplemented  the  ordi- 
nance for  suppression  of  the  smoke  nuisance.  In  the  first  report  of  the  work 
of  the  chemist  principles  of  combustion  were  laid  down  that  are  as  sound 
today  as  they  were  then. 

Workshop  and  factory  inspection  were  carried  on  vigorously.  Annually 
a  learned  and  instructive  study  was  made  as  to  the  causes  of  death  and  their 
relation  to  unsanitary  conditions  as  well  as  their  relation  to  meteorological 
conditions. 

Dr.  DeWolf  lent  his  effort  to  the  preliminary  work  leading  up  to  enactment 
of  the  law  establishing  the  Sanitary  District  of  Chicago. 

Dr.  DeWolf  served  as  Health  Commissioner  until  1889.  In  1892  he  opened 
in  London  an  establishment  for  the  treatment  of  inebriates.  From  this  he 
made  a  fortune.  In  1903  he  returned  to  his  old  home  in  Chester  Center, 
Mass.,  where  he  died  March  28,  1910.

ISAAC     NEWTON     DANFORTH 
(1835-1911) 

Distinguished  pathologist  and  practitioner  and  the  main  factor  in  the  or- 
ganization of  Wesley  Hospital,  Dr.  Isaac  Newton  Danforth  was  for  forty-five 
years  active  in  the  professional  and  civic  life  of  Chicago. 

He  was  born  in  Barnard,  Vermont,  November  5,  1835,  and  was  graduated 
from  Dartmouth  Medical  School  in  1862.  From  this  school  he  received 
the  honorary  degree  of  A.  M.  in  1881.  After  four  years  of  practice  in  Green- 
field, New  Hampshire,  Dr.  Danforth  served  for  a  short  time  as  interne  at  the 
Hartford  (Connecticut)  Retreat  for  the  Insane. 

He  came  to  Chicago  in  1866  and  here  on  June  9,  1869,  married  Miss  Eliza- 
beth Skelton,  whom  he  met  at  the  Centenary  Methodist  Church,  of  which  he 
was  a  member  for  many  years. 

He  was  appointed  an  instructor  in  chemistry  in  Rush  Medical  College  in 
1868,  lecturer  on  pathology  in  1871  and  president  of  the  spring  faculty  in 
1873.  In  1881  he  became  professor  of  pathology.  During  this  period  he  was 
pathologist  at  St.  Luke's  Hospital,  thereafter  becoming  attending  physician, 
remaining  upon  the  active  staff  for  twenty-five  years.  He  was  then,  made 
an  honorary  member  of  the  staff,  which  position  he  held  for  fifteen  years 
longer.  He  was  one  of  the  first  in  Chicago  and  the  Northwest  to  use  the 
microscope  in  pathology. 

As  professor  of  pathology  he  went  to  the  Chicago  Medical  College  in  1882. 
He  continued  as  a  member  of  the  faculty  for  nineteen  years,  during  a  large 
part  of  this  time  as  professor  of  internal  medicine.  For  many  years  also  he 
was  active  in  the  work  of  the  Woman's  Medical  College  of  Northwestern 
University,  serving  as  dean  of  the  faculty  for  four  years. 

He  was  chief  of  the  medical  staff  of  Wesley  Hospital  for  the  first  ten 
years  of  its  existence.  For  many  years  he  was  pathologist  to  the  Cook 
County  Hospital  and  consulting  physician  to  various  other  hospitals  in  Chi- 
cago. Besides  holding  membership  in  many  societies,  he  was  president  of  the 
Chicago  Pathological  Society  and  first  president  of  the  Society  of  Medical 
History  of  Chicago. 

Following  the  death  of  his  wife  in  1895  he  married  Mrs.  Mary  A.  Barnes, 
June  7,  1898. 

He  was  a  frequent  contributor  to  medical  literature.  In  later  years  his 
writings  were  devoted  chiefly  to  medical  history  and  biography.  His  life  of 
Nathan  S.  Davis  was  published  in  1907. 

In  1909  he  founded  a  medical  missionary  hospital  in  Kiukiang,  China,  in 
honor  of  his  first  wife. 

Dr.  Danforth  died  May  5,  1911.  A  son,  Dr.  William  C.  Danforth  of  Evans- 
ton,  born  of  his  first  wife,  had  chosen  medicine  as  his  profession  several  years 
before  the  father's  death. 

HENRY    MUNSON     LYMAN 

(1835-1904) 

"One  of  the  most  erudite  men  in  the  medical  profession,"  is  the  way  Dr. 
Harold  N.  Moyer  has  characterized  Dr.  Henry  Munson  Lyman,  army  sur- 
geon, professor  at  Rush  Medical  College  and  distinguished  practitioner. 

He  was  born  in  Hawaii,  November  26,  1835.  He  was  graduated  from  Wil- 
liams College  in  1858,  receiving  the  degree  of  A.  B.  and  in  1880,  that  of  A.  M. 
His  first  year  of  medical  study  was  at  Harvard,  but  he  was  graduated  from

the  College  of  Physicians  and  Surgeons,  New  York  City,  in  1861.  After  a 
year  as  house  surgeon  at  Bellevue  Hospital,  Dr.  Lyman  entered  the  medical 
service  of  the  United  States  Army  and  was  assigned  to  duty  at  Nashville. 
He  resigned  in  1863,  and  in  October  of  that  year  he  came  to  Chicago. 

In  the  winter  session  of  1865-66,  Dr.  Lyman  was  quiz  master  in  Rush 
Medical  College;  lecturer  on  physiology  in  the  spring  course,  1866-69;  pro- 
fessor of  chemistry  and  pharmacy,  1871-77;  professor  of  physiology  and  dis- 
eases of  the  nervous  system,  1877-1900;  and  professor  of  the  principles  and 
practice  of  medicine,  1890-1900.  He  was  also  treasurer  of  the  college. 

From  1880  to  1888,  he  held  the  chair  of  the  principles  and  practice  of  medi- 
cine in  the  Woman's  Medical  College.  He  was  attending  physician  at  Cook 
County  Hospital  from  1867  to  1876.  Beginning  in  1884,  he  was  a  member  of 
the  medical  staff  of  the  Presbyterian  Hospital  and  consulting  physician  to  St. 
Joseph's  Hospital  and  the  Hospital  for  Women  and  Children.  He  was  a 
member  of  the  local  and  national  medical  societies  and  in  1876,  president  of 
the  Chicago  Pathological  Society,  president  of  the  Association  of  American 
Physicians  in  1891,  and  of  the  American  Neurological  Association  in  1892. 

Dr.  Lyman  was  the  author  of  a  number  of  medical  works  and  as  author 
and  teacher  was  highly  esteemed. 

Failing  health  compelled  his  retirement  from  all  professional  work  in  1900. 
He  died  November  21,  1904. 

Of  Dr.  Lyman,  Dr.  Harold  N.  Moyer  says : 

"Dr.  Lyman  was  one  of  the  most  erudite  men  in  the  medical  profession. 
To  read  a  thing  was  to  remember  it,  and,  as  he  was  an  omnivorous  reader,  his 
mind  was  stored  with  copious  knowledge  of  the  literature  of  medicine.  He 
had  an  accurate  reading  knowledge  of  the  French,  German  and  Italian  lan- 
guages and  could  translate  these  into  perfect  English  with  the  same  rapidity 
that  he  would  read  English.  His  mind  was  essentially  scholarly  with  a 
distinct  classical  bias.  He  wrote  pure  Addisonian  English.  As  a  research 
worker  and  clinician  his  contributions  were  not  conspicuous,  but  his  great 
attainments  permitted  him  to  bring  a  wealth  of  illustration  and  erudition  to 
the  adornment  of  every  topic  that  he  touched." 

FRANCIS    WILLIAM     REILLY 
(1836-1909) 

"The  decreased  death  rate  in  Chicago  is  his  living  monument." 

This  was  said  of  Dr.  Francis  William  Reilly  when  he  died,  leaving  behind 
him  a  record  of  beneficence  as  a  sanitarian  and  philanthropist. 

Apt  tribute  to  his  career  came  from  Dr.  William  A.  Evans,  some  time 
commissioner  of  health :  "He  led  in  all  of  the  fights  for  better  things  in 
living,  in  his  powerful  health  sermons.  His  work  against  sewage-laden  water, 
smallpox,  yellow  fever  and  diphtheria  all  helped,  but  it  was  mainly  as  a 
preacher  of  health  sermons  that  he  won  his  proud  position  as  Chicago's  most 
useful  citizen." 

Born  in  Bolton,  England,  January  11,  1836,  Dr.  Reilly,  who  signed  his 
name  Frank  W.  Reilly,  was  brought  to  America  by  his  parents  in  early  child- 
hood and  was  educated  in  Philadelphia  and  Charleston,  South  Carolina.  In 
1855-56  he  attended  lectures  at  Rush  Medical  College  and  became  assistant  in 
the  laboratory  of  Dr.  James  V.  Z.  Blaney.  He  was  graduated  from  the 
Chicago  Medical  College  in  1861. 

In  the  civil  war  Dr.  Reilly  gained  his  first  distinction.  As  surgeon  of  the 
Forty-fifth  Illinois  Volunteer  Infantry  he  had  been  wounded  at  Shiloh,  but  on 


104  HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO 

convalescence,  returned  to  the  front  and,  during  the  remainder  of  his  service, 
established  general  hospitals  under  the  direction  of  Generals  Grant,  Sherman 
and  Logan. 

After  the  war  he  returned  to  Chicago.  His  sanitary  work  began  in  1867 
with  his  appointment  by  Dr.  John  H.  Ranch  as  sanitary  inspector  for  Chicago. 
This  was  followed  by  newspaper  work  until  1873.  From  that  time  until  1875 
he  was  surgeon  in  the  United  States  Marine  Hospital  Service.  In  1874  the 
service  published  his  work  on  "The  Nomenclature  of  Diseases."  In  1876  he 
was  surgeon  of  the  port  of  Cincinnati  until  July  1,  when  he  resigned.  During 
his  service  he  made  investigations  and  reports  on  immigrant  travel  and  on 
the  Asiatic  cholera  and  the  yellow  fever  epidemic. 

During  the  summer  of  1878  the  south  was  ravaged  by  an  epidemic  of  yellow 
fever.  A  national  relief  boat  was  fitted  out  at  St.  Louis  with  medical  and 
other  supplies  for  stricken  regions  down  the  Mississippi.  Grave  risks  were 
involved  and  volunteers  were  called  for.  Among  the  first  to  enlist  was 
Dr.  Reilly,  who  joined  the  expedition  as  a  representative  of  the  Chicago  Com- 
mittee and  as  correspondent  of  the  Chicago  Times.  In  less  than  ten  days 
after  the  boat  had  proceeded  on  its  heroic  mission  the  leader  of  the  expedition 
died  in  the  arms  of  Dr.  Reilly,  who  carried  on  under  the  most  desperate 
conditions. 

In  1879  he  was  appointed  sanitary  inspector  of  the  Mississippi  Valley  with 
station  at  Island  No.  1  and  later  at  Memphis.  So  well  was  his  work  done  at 
the  former  post  that  importations  of  yellow  fever  into  Illinois  were  stopped 
completely.  In  Memphis  he  made  a  sanitary  survey  that  resulted  in  the 
creation  of  a  new  water  supply  and  a  comprehensive  drainage  system.  The 
sum  of  his  effort  has  been  referred  to  as  the  "sanitary  regeneration"  of 
Memphis. 

In  November,  1881,  he  was  appointed  assistant  secretary  of  the  Illinois 
State  Board  of  Health  and  the  annual  report,  which  he  continued  to  write 
until  his  retirement  from  the  service  of  the  board  in  1893,  attracted  nation 
wide  attention. 

In  July,  1885,  Dr.  Reilly  became  an  editorial  writer  on  the  Chicago  Morn- 
ing News,  of  which  he  was  later  managing  editor.  He  was  the  first  "Swat 
the  Fly  Advocate." 

In  the  Morning  News  he  fought  vigorously  for  drastic  reform  in  drainage 
and  water  supply,  and  did  much  toward  establishing  the  comprehensive 
system  that  Chicago  now  enjoys.  He  also  founded  the  Daily  News  Sani- 
tarium for  sick  babies.  This  was  a  notable  phase  of  Dr.  Reilly's  effort  to 
reduce  infant  mortality  in  Chicago.  From  1887,  when  the  sanitarium  was 
founded,  to  1907  the  deaths  of  children  under  five  years  were  diminished 
thirty  per  cent. 

Through  the  help  of  Mayor  John  P.  Hopkins,  Health  Commissioner 
Arthur  R.  Reynolds  secured  funds  which  made  possible  the  appointment  of 
Dr.  Reilly  as  assistant  health  commissioner  in  1895.  In  his  new  office  Dr. 
Reilly  developed  the  use  of  diphtheria  anti-toxin. 

Dr.  Reilly's  health  bulletins  were  world  famous.  In  them  he  inspired  popu- 
lar interest  in  sanitary  measures  and  he  made  statistics  serve  the  public  to 
the  last  fraction.  The  London  Lancet  frequently  reproduced  the  bulletins 
and  gave  them  unstinted  praise.  Newspapers  throughout  the  country  copied 
them.  No  other  single  item  of  public  health  work  was  so  far-reaching  in  its 


HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO  105 

benefits.  He  was  assistant  health  commissioner  until  his  death,  December 
16,  1909. 

Of  him  a  commentator  has  said,  "He  has  done  more  to  promote  Chicago's 
health,  cleanliness,  and  consequently,  happiness,  than  any  other  single 
citizen." 

On  June  9,  1862,  Dr.  Reilly  married  Miss  Alice  Mary  Kennicott,  daughter 
of  Dr.  John  A.  Kennicott,  who  with  three  sons,  survived  him.  They  are 
Frank  Kennicott  Reilly,  a  Chicago  publisher;  Leigh  Reilly,  formerly  manag- 
ing editor  of  the  Chicago  Evening  Post  and  the  Chicago  Herald,  and 
Rodolphe  Ransom  Reilly  of  New  York  City.  A  daughter,  Cora  Frances,  wife 
of  Edward  S.  Beck,  now  managing  editor  of  the  Chicago  Tribune,  and  a  son, 
Robert  Kennicott  Reilly,  died  in  1899. 

SAMUEL    J.    JONES 
(1836-1901) 

First  to  head  the  eye  and  ear  departments  of  St.  Luke's  Hospital,  the  Chi- 
cago Medical  College  and  Mercy  Hospital,  Dr.  Samuel  J.  Jones  was  for  a 
generation  a  conspicuous  figure  in  Chicago. 

He  was  born  in  Bainbridge,  Pennsylvania,  March  22,  1836.  He  was  a 
graduate  of  Dickinson  College,  which  honored  him  successively  with  the 
degrees  of  A.  B.,  A.  M.  and  LL.  D.  He  received  his  diploma  from  the  medical 
department  of  the  University  of  Pennsylvania  in  1860. 

In  1861,  he  was  commissioned  assistant  surgeon  and  later  surgeon  in  the 
United  States  Navy  and  was  present  at  several  engagements.  During  1863,  a 
large  number  of  Confederate  prisoners,  tiring  of  the  confinement  at  Camp 
Douglas,  Rock  Island,  Alton  and  Columbus  barracks,  applied  for  permission 
to  enlist  in  the  United  States  Navy  and  Surgeon  Jones  assisted  at  the  induc- 
tion of  more  than  3,000  of  them  into  the  Federal  service. 

Resigning  his  commission  early  in  1868,  Dr.  Jones  visited  Europe,  where, 
in  numerous  hospitals,  he  studied  otology  and  ophthalmology.  He  came  to 
Chicago  at  the  end  of  the  year  and  in  1869  he  established  a  department  for 
diseases  of  the  eye  and  ear  in  St.  Luke's  hospital.  In  1870  the  chair  of 
ophthalmology  and  otology  was  created  in  the  Chicago  Medical  College  and 
Dr.  Jones  was  chosen  to  occupy  it.  This  professorship  he  held  for  twenty- 
seven  years.  He  founded  eye  and  ear  clinics  at  Mercy  Hospital  and  the 
South  Side  Free  Dispensary,  which  he  conducted  for  ten  years. 

He  was  also  a  delegate  from  the  American  Academy  of  Medicine  to  the 
Seventh  International  Medical  Congress  held  in  London  in  1881.  He  was 
president  of  the  section  of  otology  in  the  Ninth  International  Medical  Con- 
gress held  in  Washington  in  1887.  He  was  president  of  the  American 
Academy  of  Medicine  in  1889,  and  had  been  vice-president  the  two  years 
previous.  He  was  editor  of  the  Chicago  Medical  Journal  and  Examiner  after 
its  consolidation  in  1875. 

Dr.  Jones  was  never  married.  A  year  before  his  death  he  retired  from  pro- 
fessional work  and  devoted  his  time  to  an  anti-noise  crusade,  which  he  was 
agitating  when  the  end  came.  His  death  from  pneumonia  occurred  October 
4,  1901. 

SIGISMUND     DANIEL    JACOBSEN 
(1837-1894) 

Thoroughly  equipped  by  training  in  European  schools,  Dr.  Sigismund 
Daniel  Jacobsen  was  one  of  Chicago's  leading  ophthalmologists.  A  member

of  several  hospital  staffs,  he  was  also  president  of  the  Scandinavian  Medical 
Society. 

Dr.  Jacobsen  was  born  in  Copenhagen,  Denmark,  February  14,  1837.  Being 
a  member  of  an  orthodox  Jewish  family,  he  was  given  an  education  that  in- 
cluded the  Hebrew  language,  the  scriptures  and  theology.  Later  he  was 
admitted  to  the  University  of  Copenhagen,  from  which  he  was  graduated  with 
the  degree  of  doctor  of  philosophy  in  1856.  He  at  once  began  the  study  of 
medicine  in  the  medical  department  of  the  university.  He  served  in  the 
Royal  Frederick  Hospital  from  1857  until  1862,  when  he  was  graduated.  In 
the  Schleswig-Holstein  campaign,  in  1863,  Dr.  Jacobson  was  surgeon  of  the 
Thirteenth  Infantry  and  was  also  in  charge  of  a  field  hospital. 

Dr.  Jacobsen  came  to  Chicago  in  1866  and  specialized  in  ophthalmology. 
In  the  spring  of  1871  he  established  a  private  hospital  and  clinic  at  303 
Wabash  Avenue  for  the  treatment  of  diseases  of  the  eye.  When  this  was 
consumed  in  the  great  fire  of  that  year,  he  entered  general  practice,  giving 
especial  attention  to  diseases  of  the  eye.  He  was  a  member  of  the  staffs  of 
Cook  County,  Michael  Reese,  German,  Maternity  and  Alexian  Brothers 
hospitals. 

Rush  Medical  College  conferred  upon  Dr.  Jacobsen  an  honorary  degree  in 
1881.  He  was  an  organizer  of  the  Scandinavian  Medical  Society  in  1887  and 
became  its  president  in  1889.  He  died  in  Copenhagen,  February  23,  1894. 

JAMES     STEWART    JEWELL 
(1837-1887) 

Born  in  a  log  cabin  in  Illinois  where  works  on  science  were  regarded 
askance  because  of  the  belief  that  they  tended  toward  atheism,  Dr.  James 
Stewart  Jewell  became  not  only  a  distinguished  scholar  but  an  eminent 
scientist  as  well.  He  is  especially  remembered  as  a  neurologist  of  high 
authority. 

Dr.  Jewell  was  born  at  Jewell's  Prairie,  near  Galena,  September  8,  1837, 
the  son  of  John  and  Margaret  Stewart  Jewell.  At  the  age  of  two  years  he 
knew  the  alphabet  and  at  four  he  could  read.  When  he  was  old  enough  to 
wield  a  hoe  his  mother  would  go  with  him  to  the  field  and  while  she  dropped 
the  seed  and  he  covered  it  with  the  hoe,  she  would  read  to  him. 

Bred  in  this  environment  he  became  an  avid  student.  He  read  diligently 
every  volume  that  came  within  his  grasp  from  the  Bible  and  Fox's  Book  of 
Martyrs  to  works  on  geology  and  anthropology.  The  latter  his  pious  mother 
regarded  with  apprehension  as  conducive  to  disbelief  in  the  Deity. 

Dr.  Jewell  studied  under  the  preceptorship  of  Dr.  S.  M.  Mitchell  of  Galena 
in  1855  and  in  1860  he  was  a  member  of  the  first  class  to  graduate  from  the 
medical  department  of  Lind  University,  later  the  Chicago  Medical  College. 

"Tall  and  angular,  with  a  large  head  adorned  with  a  shock  of  brindle  hair, 
and  with  prominent  gray  eyes  and  spindling  legs,  his  ungainly  appearance 
was  accentuated  by  a  small  trunk  carried  on  his  shoulder,"  writes  Dr. 
Harold  N.  Moyer.  "Within  a  few  days,  however,  the  faculty  and  student 
body  realized  that  this  unpromising  exterior  concealed  a  mind  of  rare  bril- 
liancy and  uncommon  attainments." 

For  two  years  he  practiced  medicine  in  Williamson  County,  111.,  and  return- 
ing to  Chicago,  he  was  appointed  demonstrator  of  anatomy  in  his  alma 
mater.  This  position  he  filled  until  1869  when  he  resigned  with  the  purpose 
of  studying  and  teaching  biblical  history.  As  a  part  of  his  plan  Dr.  Jewell 


108  HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO 

traveled  in  Egypt  and  Palestine,  there  laying  the  foundation  of  his  knowledge 
of  Egyptology  and  Hebrew. 

The  lure  of  medicine  overcame  his  desire  to  be  a  religious  teacher  and, 
when  he  returned  to  Chicago  in  1871,  he  resumed  his  practice,  devoting  his 
attention  to  nervous  and  mental  diseases.  He  was  appointed  professor  in 
this  branch  in  the  Chicago  Medical  College.  Two  years  later  he  founded  the 
Quarterly  Journal  of  Nervous  and  Mental  Diseases  and  was  its  editor. 

"All  of  the  students  of  that  early  day  are  united  in  pronouncing  Dr.  Jewell 
one  of  the  most  interesting  and  fascinating  lecturers  of  his  time,"  says 
Dr.  Moyer.  "They  are  agreed  that  they  derived  more  inspiration  from  his 
lectures  than  from  any  other  member  of  the  faculty  and  some  of  them  state 
that  they  believe  that  he  was  the  best  teacher  they  ever  had." 

Dr.  Jewell  helped  to  found  the  American  Neurological  Association  and 
was  for  three  successive  years  its  president. 

During  his  active  career  Dr.  Jewell  had  become  not  only  a  student  of 
Hebrew  and  Egyptology  but  he  had  acquired  a  knowledge  of  botany,  anthro- 
pology, zoology,  botany,  Greek,  Latin,  French,  German  and  Italian.  It  was 
appropriate,  therefore,  that  Northwestern  University  should  confer  upon  him 
the  degree  of  Master  of  Arts. 

Dr.  Jewell  died  April  18,  1887. 

"With  his  passing  went  one  of  the  most  picturesque  figures  in  our  local 
profession,  and  a  man  who  left  his  mark  on  American  neurology,"  says 
Dr.  Moyer. 

EDWIN     POWELL 
(1837-1911) 

Distinguished  surgeon  in  the  union  army,  Dr.  Edwin  Powell,  nephew  of 
Dr.  Daniel  Brainard,  was  for  a  number  of  years  a  professor  at  Rush  Medical 
College. 

He  was  born  in  Jefferson  County,  New  York,  October  12,  1837.  His  parents 
were  John  and  Eveline  (Brainard)  Powell.  He  was  graduated  from  Williams 
College  in  1856  and  in  1857  from  Rush  Medical  College,  his  principal  precep- 
tor being  Dr.  Brainard.  From  1856  until  1861  he  served  as  an  interne  in  the 
United  States  Marine  Hospital.  During  this  time  he  became  demonstrator  of 
anatomy  at  Rush  Medical  College. 

Commissioned  in  1861  as  surgeon  of  the  Forty-second  Illinois  Volunteers, 
he  served  in  Missouri  and  in  July  of  the  next  year  was  assigned  to  the 
Seventy-second  Illinois  Volunteers,  which  participated  in  the  Vicksburg 
campaign.  During  the  siege  of  Vicksburg,  he  conducted  the  McPherson 
General  Hospital  with  such  credit  that  he  was  promoted  to  a  colonelcy  and 
awarded  a  gold  medal  by  his  army  corps.  He  was  also  present  at  the  siege 
of  Mobile. 

Returning  to  Chicago  after  the  war,  he  resumed  his  connection  with  Rush 
Medical  College.  He  was  professor  of  military  surgery  in  that  institution 
until  1877. 

After  the  organization  of  Cook  County  Hospital,  he  was  for  a  time  a 
member  of  its  staff.  He  was  highly  regarded  as  a  teacher  of  clinical  surgery. 
He  died  at  Marysville,  Missouri,  February  13,  1911. 

ADDISON     HOWARD     FOSTER 
(1838-1906) 
First  to  occupy  the  chair  of  anatomy  in  the  Woman's  Medical  College  of 


HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO  109 

Chicago,  Dr.  Addison  Howard  Foster  was  a  graduate  of  the  College  of 
Physicians  and  Surgeons  of  New  York  City. 

Of  pre-revolutionary  ancestry,  Dr.  Foster  was  born  at  Wilton,  N.  H., 
November  13,  1838.  He  was  educated  in  the  public  schools  and  at  Ipswich- 
Appleton  Academy  and  was  graduated  from  Dartmouth  College  in  1863. 
After  some  time  spent  with  medical  preceptors,  he  entered  the  College  of 
Physicians  and  Surgeons  of  the  City  of  New  York,  from  which  he  was  grad- 
uated in  1866.  On  September  18,  1866,  he  married  Miss  Susan  M.  Houghton 
of  New  Ipswich,  N.  H. 

Upon  the  completion  of  two  years  of  practice  at  Lawrence,  Mass.,  Dr. 
Foster  came  to  Chicago  and  when  the  Woman's  Medical  College  was  organ- 
ized in  1870,  he  was  not  only  made  professor  of  anatomy  but  associate  pro- 
fessor of  surgery  as  well.  He  filled  these  positions  until  1875.  In  1869-70 
Dr.  Foster  was  a  visiting  physician  for  the  Brainard  Free  Dispensary  and 
from  1872  to  1888  he  was  medical  examiner  for  the  New  England  Mutual

Association,  the  Academy  of  Medicine  and  the  Chicago  and  Illinois  State 
Medical  societies.  He  was  president  of  the  Chicago  Gynecological  Society 
and  president  of  the  Chicago  Pathological  Society.  He  was  the  founder  of 
the  Therapeutic  Club. 

Dr.  Foster  died  March  3,  1906,  at  Oak  Park,  where  he  made  his  home. 
His  widow  and  three  sons,  Fred  Houghton,  Winslow  Howard  and  Charles 
Stedman  Foster,  survived  him. 

SAMUEL     ANDERSON     Me  WILLIAMS 
(1839-1917) 

The  mental  alertness  and  physical  vigor  of  Dr.  Samuel  Anderson  McWil- 
liams  continued  unimpaired  almost  to  his  seventy-ninth  year,  after  fifty 
years  of  practice  in  Chicago. 

Born  in  Ireland,  February  7,  1839,  he  came  to  the  United  States  with  his 
parents  as  a  child.  After  obtaining  the  degrees  of  A.  B.  and  A.  M.  at  the 
University  of  Michigan,  he  attended  the  medical  department  of  that  institu- 
tion for  two  years.  Two  years  of  teaching  in  the  Waupun,  Wisconsin,  High 
School  (1863-65)  were  followed  by  a  course  at  the  Chicago  Medical  College, 
from  which  he  was  graduated  in  1866. 

He  lectured  on  physical  diagnosis  and  anatomy  in  the  Chicago  Medical 
College  in  1866  and  1867  and  was  professor  of  anatomy  in  the  Woman's 
Hospital  Medical  College  of  Chicago  from  1870  to  1875.  For  ten  years,

from  which  lie  was  graduated  in  1863.  lie  then  began  a  course  of  medical 
study  at  Bellevue  Hospital  Medical  College  and  was  graduated  in  1865. 
Shortly  thereafter  he  came  to  Chicago. 

Before  he  had  practiced  here  a  year  he  was  appointed  to  the  lectureship 
of  surgical  and  pathological  anatomy  at  Hahnemann  Medical  College.  In 
1867,  he  became  professor  of  physiology  in  the  same  institution  and  in  1879 
he  was  assigned  to  the  chair  of  theory  and  practice  of  medicine.  He  was  also 
elected  dean  of  the  college. 

In  1876  he  withdrew  from  Hahnemann  College  to  engage  in  the  organiza- 
tion of  the  Chicago  Homeopathic  Medical  College,  of  which  he  was  president 
until  his  death.  For  seven  years  he  was  secretary  of  the  Illinois  State  Home- 
opathic Medical  Association,  during  which  time  the  active  membership  was 
doubled.  He  was  also  president  of  this  society.  For  a  time  he  was  attending 
physician  at  the  Cook  County  Hospital. 

At  the  time  of  his  death  he  was  physician  in  charge  of  the  medical  depart-

TRUMAN     W.     MILLER 
(1840-1900) 

Organizer  and  first  president  of  the  Chicago  Policlinic,  Dr.  Truman  W. 
Miller  was  for  more  than  thirty-five  years  a  practitioner  in  Chicago. 

He  was  born  at  Lodi,  New  York,  March  2,  1840.  He  attended  the  College 
of  Physicians  and  Surgeons,  New  York  City  and  later  the  Geneva  (N.  Y.) 
Medical  College,  from  which  he  was  graduated  in  1863.  He  became  an 
assistant  surgeon  in  the  Army  of  the  Potomac  and  served  in  that  organization 
until  after  the  battle  of  the  Wilderness,  when  he  was  assigned  to  the  duty  of 
post  and  examining  surgeon  at  Chicago. 

At  the  close  of  the  civil  war  he  was  appointed  examining  surgeon  for  the 
recruiting  service  of  the  regular  army  with  station  in  this  city.  He  performed 
this  duty  until  1869.  After  resignation  from  the  army  he  was  Cook  County 
Physician  for  two  years  and  an  inspector  for  the  board  of  health. 

In  1873  he  was  appointed  assistant  surgeon  of  the  United  States  Marine 
Hospital  at  Chicago  and  in  1877  he  was  promoted  to  the  rank  of  surgeon. 
In  1878  he  was  chosen  medical  director  for  the  northwest  of  the  Continental 
Life  Insurance  Company  of  Hartford,  Connecticut,  and  consulting  surgeon 
for  the  Chicago  district  of  the  Mutual  Life  Insurance  Company  of  New  York. 

He  was  a  member  of  the  Grand  Army  of  the  Republic  and  in  1880  and

St.  Joseph's,  the  German,  Alexian  Brothers,  and  St.  Mary's  Memorial  hos- 
pitals. 

He  was  professor  of  surgery  at  the  Chicago  Policlinic,  which  he  helped  to 
organize  and  of  which  he  was  the  first  president. 

He  was  a  member  of  the  different  professional  societies.  He  married  Miss 
Leonora  Edson,  of  Lake  View,  October  15,  1864. 

He  died  May  13,  1900. 

JAMES     NEVINS     HYDE 
(1840-1910) 

Assistant  surgeon  in  the  United  States  Navy,  thirty-one  years  professor 
of  skin,  venereal  and  genito-urinary  diseases  at  Rush  Medical  College,  twice 
president  of  the  American  Dermatological  Association,  author  of  a  monu- 
mental treatise  covering  the  entire  field  of  dermatology,  Dr.  James  Nevins 
Hyde  was  a  practitioner  whose  influence  extended  from  one  end  of  the 
country  to  the  other. 

"His  great  strength  of  character,  charming  personality  and  magnetism 
bound  his  legion  of  patients  to  him  to  a  degree  not  commonly  appreciated," 
says  Dr.  Oliver  S.  Ormsby.  "The  great  good  accomplished  by  him  not  only 
in  relieving  their  physical  ills  but  in  directing  their  future  lives  is  a  matter 
of  such  magnitude  that  its  far  reaching  consequences  can  only  be  partly 
told." 

Dr.  Hyde  was  born  at  Norwich,  Conn.,  June  21,  1840.  He  was  graduated 
from  the  academic  department  of  Yale  University  in  1861. 

He  began  the  study  of  medicine  with  Dr.  William  H.  Draper  in  the  Col- 
lege of  Physicians  and  Surgeons  in  New  York  in  the  year  in  which  he 
received  his  academic  degree.  After  pursuing  his  studies  for  some  time, 
however,  he  entered  the  United  States  Navy  as  an  assistant  surgeon  and 
later  was  designated  Passed  Assistant  Surgeon.  He  performed  heroic  duty 
toward  the  end  of  the  Civil  War  in  the  battle  waged  against  yellow  fever 
off  Key  West.  During  this  time  his  two  superior  medical  officers  succumbed 
to  the  disease  and  left  him  as  medical  officer  in  charge.  Though  only  a 
young  man,  so  well  did  he  perform  this  duty  that  he  was  cited  by  the 
Secretary  of  the  Navy. 

After  the  war  President  Lincoln  assigned  him  to  the  Ticonderoga  under 
Admiral  Farragut.  Every  officer  on  the  ship  was  a  man  who  had  won  dis- 
tinction during  the  war.  The  Ticonderoga  made  a  visit  of  ceremony  to 
various  European  ports. 

Dr.  Hyde  resigned  in  1869,  receiving  his  medical  degree  from  the  Uni- 
versity of  Pennsylvania  in  the  same  year.  He  then  removed  to  Chicago. 
He  began  his  teaching  career  in  1873  at  Rush  Medical  College  as  a  lecturer 
on  dermatology,  a  position  he  held  for  three  years.  From  1876  to  1878  he 
was  professor  of  dermatology  in  the  Chicago  Medical  College  and  in  1879 
he  was  elected  professor  of  skin,  venereal  and  genito-urinary  diseases  at 
Rush  Medical  College,  the  chair  of  which  he  held  continuously  for  thirty- 
one  years. 

Dr.  Hyde's  name  was  prominently  connected  with  American  dermatology 
from  the  time  of  his  entrance  into  the  field  in  1873.  He  was  identified  with 
the  American  Dermatological  Association  from  its  inception  and  was  twice 
its  president.  He  was  a  voluminous  writer  on  scientific  dermatology  and 
his  treatise  on  diseases  of  the  skin,  published  first  in  1883,  underwent  eight

complete  revisions.  It  grew  from  a  modest  volume  containing  560  pages 
of  text  and  six  illustrations  to  a  work  containing  1100  pages  of  text  and  220 
illustrations,  besides  fifty-eight  full  page  plates.  It  was  an  index  to  the 
advancement  of  the  science  of  dermatology  during  a  period  of  twenty-six 
years. 

Besides  being  a 'member  of  the  faculty  of  Rush  Medical  College,  Dr.  Hyde 
was  professor  of  skin,  venereal  and  genito-urinary  diseases  in  the  Post 
Graduate  Medical  School.  He  was  dermatologist  to  the  Augustana,  Michael 
Reese  and  Presbyterian  hospitals  and  the  Chicago  Orphan  Asylum  and  was 
consulting  dermatologist  to  Mary  Thompson  Hospital,  the  Home  for  Desti- 
tute Crippled  Children  and  the  Central  Free  Dispensary. 

From  1902  he  was  professorial  lecturer  on  dermatology  at  the  University 
of  Chicago.  He  was  a  member  of  the  various  professional  societies,  local 
and  national,  and  an  active  or  corresponding  member  of  the  leading  derma- 
tological  associations  of  Europe. 

He  presented  many  papers  before  the  Chicago  Literary  Club  on  topics 
outside  of  medicine  and  was  once  honored  with  the  presidency  of  that 
organization. 

At  a  banquet  given  General  Sheridan  on  the  fiftieth  anniversary  of  his 
birthday,  Dr.  Hyde  read  a  classical  article  entitled  "Asleep  and  Awake." 
Another  classic  he  has  left  us  is  entitled  "Historical  Strawberries."  Another 
volume  of  great  value  is  his  "Early  Medical  Chicago,"  an  historical  work  of 
note. 

Dr.  Hyde  married  Miss  Alice  Louise  Griswold,  July  31,  1872.  He  had 
one  son,  Charles  Cheney  Hyde,  an  attorney  and  professor  of  international 
law  at  Northwestern  University.  Dr.  Hyde  died  September  6,  1910. 

JAMES     SUYDAM     KNOX 
(1840-1892) 

Collateral  descendant  of  the  preacher,  John  Knox,  veteran  of  the  civil  war, 
an  able  teacher,  Dr.  James  Suydam  Knox  was  born  at  Nassau,  New  York, 
July  28,  1840.  He  was  graduated  from  Princeton  College  in  1860,  and  while 
teaching  in  the  preparatory  school  of  that  institution  he  enlisted  as  a  private 
of  New  Jersey  volunteers  in  the  civil  war.  Returning  from  the  war,  Dr. 
Knox  was  graduated  from  the  College  of  Physicians  and  Surgeons,  New 
York  City,  in  1866. 

He  began  practice  in  Somerville,  New  Jersey,  where  in  1869  he  married 
Miss  Elizabeth  Hartwell.  He  came  to  Chicago  in  1873  and  engaged  in  prac- 
tice on  the  west  side.  From  1874  to  1882  Dr.  Knox  was  lecturer  on  obstetrics 
in  Rush  Medical  College.  Thereafter  until  1888  he  was  adjunct  professor  of 
obstetrics  and  diseases  of  children.  In  1888  a  full  professorship  was  con- 
ferred upon  him  and  he  continued  to  hold  the  chair  until  his  death.  He  was 
a  member  of  the  medical  staff  of  Presbyterian  Hospital  and  it  was  largely 
through  his  influence  that  the  maternity  section  of  that  hospital  was  estab- 
lished in  1892. 

Dr.  Knox  was  a  member  of  the  International  Medical  Congress,  the  Ameri- 
can Medical  Association,  the  Illinois  State  and  Chicago  Medical  societies,  the 
Chicago  Pathological,  the  Chicago  Medico-Legal  and  the  Chicago  Gynecologi- 
cal societies.  He  was  president  of  the  last  named  organization  at  the  time 
of  his -death. 

He  died  June  28,  1892. 


116  HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO 

CHRISTIAN     FENCER 
(1840-1902j 

Honor  student,  surgeon  in  the  Schleswig-Holstein  and  Franco-Prussian 
wars,  physician  under  the  Khedive  of  Egypt,  first  to  introduce  antiseptic 
surgery  in  Cook  County  Hospital,  professor  of  surgery  in  the  College  of 
Physicians  and  Surgeons  of  Chicago,  Northwestern  University  Medical 
School  and  Rush  Medical  College,  Dr.  Christian  Fenger  for  a  quarter  of  a 
century  was  an  inspiration  to  the  medical  youth  of  Chicago. 

"During  that  period  of  time,"  writes  Dr.  Frank  Billings,  "he  exerted  an 
influence  in,  scientific  medicine  unequalled  by  any  other  individual."  That 
influence  is  manifested  today  in  the  work  of  the  foremost  surgeons,  pathol- 
ogists  and  practitioners  of  internal  medicine  of  the  city. 

From  an  autobiography  written  by  Dr.  Fenger  when  King  Christian  IX 
of  Denmark  bestowed  upon  him  the  order  of  Knight  of  Dannebrog,  we 
learn  the  main  facts  of  his  life. 

He  was  born  at  Breinningaard,  Breinninge  Sogn  in  Ringkjoping  Amt, 
Denmark,  November  3,  1840.  Devotion  to  the  natural  sciences  led  him  to 
matriculate  at  the  Polyteknisk  Lareanstalt  with  the  object  of  becoming  a 
civil  engineer.  After  a  year,  however,  he  yielded  to  his  father's  wishes  and 
undertook  the  study  of  medicine.  He  passed  his  first  examination  in  1863 
and  the  following  year  he  served  as  assistant  physician  at  Augustenborg 
Lazareth  under  Studsgaard. 

He  was  assistant  surgeon  for  a  battery  of  artillery  in  the  Schleswig- 
Holstein  campaign  and  after  the  war  he  continued  the  study  of  medicine, 
passing  his  examination  in  1866-67  with  the  degree  of  "Laud."  He  was  an 
interne  in  the  Royal  Frederik  Hospital  in  1869.  Researches  made  by  him 
earned  a  grant  from  the  Danish  government  that  enabled  him  to  become 
a  surgeon  in  the  Franco-Prussian  war.  His  experience  in  the  war  enabled 
him  to  write  a  report  on  the  endoscopy  of  gunshot  wounds. 

After  the  war  he  went  to  Vienna,  where  he  studied  pathologic  anatomy 
and  surgery.  Returning  to  Denmark,  he  became  prosector  to  the  Commune- 
hospital,  where  he  wrote  his  thesis  on  cancer  of  the  stomach  for  the  degree 
of  Doctor  of  Medicine,  which  was  granted  in  1874 — approximately  thirteen 
years  after  beginning  the  study  of  medicine.  He  successfully  defended  this 
thesis  in  1875.  In  the  spring  of  that  year  he  went  to  Egypt  to  assume  for 
a  time  his  brother's  practice.  In  Cairo  he  became  a  district  physician  under 
the  Egyptian  government,  serving  as  "Medicin  du  Quartier  der  Kalifa" 
under  the  chief  of  medical  affairs  in  Cairo,  Dr.  Ahata  Bey.  In  this  capacity 
he  investigated  an  epidemic  of  trachoma  among  the  children  of  the  public 
schools. 

In  Cairo  Dr.  Fenger  was  physician  for  a  part  of  the  American  colony 
and,  among  them,  certain  American  officers  whom  Khedive  Ismail  Pasha 
had  employed  to  reform  the  Egyptian  army.  A  Major  Irgens  suggested 
that  Dr.  Fenger  accompany  him  to  Bloomington,  Illinois.  Dr.  Fenger  had 
proceeded  as  far  as  Chicago  when  a  fellow  countryman,  Dr.  S.  D.  Jacobsen, 
persuaded  him  to  remain. 

"In  the  spring  of  1878  I  secured  by  means  of  borrowed  money  a  place  as 
physician  to  Cook  County  Hospital,"  writes  Dr.  Fenger  in  his  autobiography. 
"Here  I  commenced  to  give  lectures  and  demonstrations  in  pathologic 
anatomy,  a  science  which  was  unknown  to  physicians  there.  At  this  hospi- 


HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO  117 

tal  I  served  first  as  pathologist,  later  as  surgeon  for  twelve  to  fourteen 
years,  and  introduced  Lister's  antiseptic  operative  methods." 

Dr.  Fenger's  account  of  the  manner  in  which  he  obtained  a  place  on  the 
staff  of  Cook  County  Hospital  recalls  the  fact  that  that  was  the  period  of 
the  most  corrupt  group  of  county  commissioners  Chicago  has  ever  known. 
One  thousand  dollars  was  the  price  to  be  paid  by  the  ambitious  medical 
man,  with  no  other  reward  than  to  see,  study  and  heal  disease,  for  a  place 
on  the  staff  of  an  institution  for  the  care  of  the  county's  poor. 

"To  one  who  served  at  one  time  as  Fenger's  House  Surgeon  and  later 
grew  up  in  his  environment,"  writes  Dr.  Lewis  L.  McArthur,  "the  convic- 
tion is  fixed,  after  the  lapse  of  two  score  years,  that  Fenger  was  a  great 
surgeon.  The  phrase,  de  mortuis  nil  nisi  bonum,  will  still  permit  an  ardent 
admirer  and  grateful  student  to  remark :  he  was  not  an  equally  great  oper- 
ator. His  exact  knowledge  of  surgical  anatomy,  his  dead-house  familiarity 
with  every  part  of  the  human  body  seemed  to  influence  the  extent  of  his 
incisions.  His  thorough  understanding  of  the  existing  pathological  process, 
his  scientific  urge  to  be  thorough,  would  ofttimes  prolong  an  anesthesia  to 
a  dangerous  length.  With  all  his  faults  (and  they  were  few),  we  loved  him 
for  himself  and  for  what  he  taught  us." 

In  1880  Dr.  Fenger  became  curator  of  Rush  Medical  College  museum. 
In  1884  he  was  appointed  professor  of  surgery  in  the  College  of  Physicians 
and  Surgeons  of  Chicago,  and  surgeon-in-chief  to  the  Passavant  Memorial 
and  German  hospitals,  when  these  two  institutions  were  founded.  In  1893 
he  assumed  the  professorship  of  surgery  in  Northwestern  University  Medi- 
cal School  and  later  became  surgeon  to  Mercy  Hospital.  He  was  also 
surgeon-in-chief  of  Lutheran  Tabitha  Hospital.  In  1899  he  became  pro- 
fessor of  surgery  in  Rush  Medical  College  in  affiliation  with  the  University 
of  Chicago  and  attending  surgeon  at  the  Presbyterian  Hospital,  holding 
both  of  these  positions  until  his  death. 

In  1900,  on  his  sixtieth  birthday,  Dr.  Fenger  w?as  given  a  testimonial 
banquet  by  500  physicians  which  afforded  striking  evidence  of  the  esteem 
in  which  he  was  held.  The  Fenger  Memorial  Association,  organized  soon 
after  his  death,  perpetuates  his  memory  through  scientific  research  carried 
on  through  the  income  of  an  endowment  fund. 

Dr.  Fenger  was  a  member  of  the  Chicago  Medical  Society,  being  its 
president  in  1901,  the  Chicago  Surgical  Society,  the  Illinois  State  Medical 
Society,  the  American  Medical  Association  and  the  American  Surgical 
Association,  serving  as  its  vice-president  in  1895. 

He  was  a  prolific  writer  upon  subjects  relating  to  surgery,  special  pathol- 
ogy and  diagnosis.  These  papers  were  reprinted  under  the  joint  editor- 
ship of  Doctors  Ludvig  Hektoen  and  Coleman  G.  Buford  in  "The  Col- 
lected Works  of  Christian  Fenger,"  in  two  volumes. 

In  1878  he  married  Miss  Caroline  Sophie  Abildgaard.  There  were  two 
children,  Frederick  A.  Fenger  and  Augusta  Maria  Fenger. 

In  a  review  of  Dr.  Fenger's  life,  Dr.  Billings  has  written  : 

"The  outstanding  features  presented  arc  the  evidences  of  the  purposeful 
industry  of  the  man.  Undismayed  by  difficulties  and  obstructions  to  the 
attainment  of  objectives,  he  won  success  in  practically  every  project  under- 
taken. His  knowledge  of  morbid  anatomy  and  of  pathology  was  phenomenal 
for  that  day  and  was  attained  by  unremitting  energy  during  his  life  in 


118  HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO 

Denmark  and  Egypt  and  his  earlier  experiences  in  the  United  States.  This 
knowledge  of  pathology  and  of  morbid  anatomy  made  him  one  of  the  great 
surgeons  of  his  time.  He  never  became  a  brilliant  operating  surgeon,  but 
what  he  lacked  in  operating  skill  was  more  than  compensated  for  by 
thoroughness  and  knowledge  of  pathology.  In  diagnosis  he  was  unsur- 
passed by  any  of  his  living  contemporaries. 

"He  spoke  five  or  more  modern  languages,  but  did  not  possess  a  ready 
command  of  any  language.  Nevertheless,  he  was  a  great  teacher  and 
though  his  speech  was  usually  marked  by  halting  words,  he  was  able  to 
impart  knowledge  to  others  with  greater  clearness  than  most  teachers  of 
fluent  speech.  He  was  especially  fond  of  young  men  who  showed  by  their 
every  day  lives  that  they  had  a  thirst  for  knowledge  and  expresed  this  by 
purposeful  enduring  work.  It  was  through  his  influence  that  many  of  the 
young  medical  men  of  the  period  from  1880  to  1900  visited  the  clinics  of 
Germany,  Austria,  France  and  England  and  later  became  leaders  in  their 
chosen  fields  of  work  in  the  United  States." 

Dr.  Fenger  died  March  7,  1902.  "But  though  twenty  years  have  elapsed," 
writes  Dr.  Billings,  "he  lives  today  in  the  hearts  and  minds  of  hundreds 
of  physicians  and  surgeons  who  were  proud  to  call  him  master ;  and  he 
will  continue  to  live  through  other  generations  by  the  work  of  his  students 
and  his  pupils'  students." 

SARAH  HACKETT  STEVENSON 
(1841-1909) 

In  the  eighteen-seventies  there  were  comparatively  few  women  in  the 
medical  profession,  and  those  who  entered  it  were  treated  by  most  of  their 
male  rivals  in  a  manner  approaching  hostility  and  distrust.  It  required  a 
brave  spirit  for  a  woman  not  only  to  overcome  the  obstacles  placed  in  her 
path  by  men  in  the  profession,  many  of  whom  opposed  medical  instruction 
for  women,  but  to  place  herself  on  an  even  plane  with  them. 

Such  a  spirit  was  possessed  by  Dr.  Sarah  Hackett  Stevenson,  pioneer  among 
women  physicians. 

"Dr.  Stevenson  was  one  of  the  first  women  in  the  Middle  West  to  study 
and  practice  medicine,"  writes  Dr.  Marie  Olsen,  "and  as  such  she  overcame 
all  prejudices  by  proving  her  ability  and  fitness  for  her  chosen  profession. 
Indeed,  her  professional  brothers  entertained  toward  her  the  profoundest 
respect  and  admiration. 

"In  those  early  days  of  Chicago,  there  was  much  constructive  work  to  be 
done  along  all  lines  and  Dr.  Stevenson,  with  her  vision  of  the  great  possi- 
bilities for  women  and  her  desire  to  be  of  service,  threw  herself  with  enthu- 
siasm and  energy  into  these  various  activities.  Through  her  wonderful 
mentality,  magnetic  personality  and  charm  of  manner,  she  was  able  to  over- 
come difficulties  and  blaze  the  way  for  enterprises  of  philanthropical,  pro- 
fessional and  business  nature. 

"Numerous  are  the  individuals,  institutions  and  organizations  that  have 
occasion  to  remember  that  great  woman  with  gratitude  and  love." 

Dr.  Stevenson,  the  daughter  of  Col.  John  and  Sarah  Hackett  Stevenson, 
was  born  at  Buffalo  Grove,  Illinois,  Februarv  2,  1841.  After  attending  Mt. 

-  o 

Carroll  Seminary,  she  was  graduated  from  the  Illinois  State  Normal  School 
at  Bloomington  in  1863.  Her  first  work  was  as  a  teacher  in  Sterling,  Illinois, 
where  she  became  principal  of  the  public  school. 


HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO  119 

In  1874,  she  was  graduated  from  the  Woman's  Medical  College  of  Chi- 
cago. Prior  to  and  after  her  graduation  she  studied  at  the  South  Kensing- 
ton Science  School,  London,  and  in  the  hospitals  of  London  and  Dublin. 
While  in  London  she  resided  for  a  time  with  Emily  Faithful,  the  philan- 
thropist, made  the  acquaintance  of  Lord  Tennyson,  and  was  fortunate  in 
having  a  biological  training  under  Huxley  and  Darwin,  fitting  her  to  fill  the 
chair  of  physiology  in  the  Woman's  Medical  College,  to  which  she  was  later 
appointed. 

She  began  practice  in  Chicago  in  1876  and  the  same  year  was  a  delegate 
of  the  Illinois  State  Medical  Society  to  the  meeting  of  the  American  Medical 
Association  in  Philadelphia,  where  her  name  was  presented  for  membership 
by  Dr.  William  H.  Byford  and  sustained  by  the  president.  Five  years  before 
the  association  had  laid  on  the  table  the  hotly  discussed  motion  to  admit 
women  as  members. 

Dr.  Stevenson  was  the  first  woman  appointed  to  the  State  Board  of  Health 
and  the  first  woman  member  of  the  medical  staff  of  Cook  County  Hospital. 
She  organized  and  was  head  of  the  staff  of  the  Woman's  Hospital  on  the 
grounds  of  the  World's  Fair,  where  three  thousand  cases  were  treated.  She 
also  organized  the  Chicago  Maternity  Hospital  and  was  among  the  founders 
of  the  Home  for  Incurables  and  the  Illinois  Training  School  for  Nurses. 

She  was  professor  of  physiology  in  the  Woman's  Medical  College  from 
1876  to  1881  and  professor  of  obstetrics  from  1881  to  1894.  She  was  obstetri- 
cian to  Cook  County  Hospital,  consulting  physician  to  the  Woman's  and 
Provident  hospitals,  attending  physician  at  the  Mary  Thompson  Hospital 
and  president  of  the  National  Temperance  and  Chicago  Maternity  hospitals. 
She  was  president  of  the  Chicago  Woman's  Club  and  a  member  of  the  Twen- 
tieth Century  and  Fortnightly  clubs. 

Dr.  Stevenson  was  the  author  of  a  "Text-Book  on  Biology,"  for  beginners, 
which  had  an  extensive  sale  and  was  used  in  the  schools. 

Prolonged  overwork  in  college,  hospital  and  practice  resulted  in  shattered 
health  and  compelled  her  retirement  from  all  professional  work  in  1903.  She 
died  August  14,  1909,  in  St.  Elizabeth's  Hospital,  where  she  had  been  a 
patient  for  many  years. 

EDWARD     W.     LEE 
(1841-1907) 

Mentor  and  friend  of  Dr.  John  B.  Murphy,  Dr.  Edward  W.  Lee  was  one  of 
the  first  surgeons  in  Chicago  to  operate  for  appendicitis  and  diseases  of  the 
gall  bladder,  and  by  reason  of  this  fact  he  profoundly  influenced  the  career 
of  the  former. 

"One  of  the  best  evidences  of  Dr.  Lee's  rare  good  judgment  and  knowledge 
of  men  as  well  as  of  medicine  and  surgery  was  his  choice  of  associates,"  writes 
Dr.  William  A.  Evans. 

"When  Christian  Fenger  was  a  newly  arrived  foreigner,  practicing  pathol- 
ogy, Dr.  Lee  recognized  his  ability  and,  by  associating  Dr.  Fenger  with  him, 
made  it  possible  for  that  great  man  to  lay  the  foundations  of  his  surgical 
practice. 

"When  John  B.  Murphy  emerged  as  an  interne  from  Cook  County  Hospital, 
Dr.  Lee's  pragmatic  mind  saw  his  possibilities  at  once  and  he  took  him  on  as 
an  assistant.  His  professional  association  with  Dr.  Murphy  in  some  relation 
or  other  continued  until  Dr.  Lee's  death."

HISTORY  OF  MKOICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO  121 

Dr.  Lee  was  born  in  Gorey,  County  Wexford,  Ireland,  June  19,  1841,  the 
son  of  a  physician.  When  seventeen  years  old  he  entered  the  Royal  College 
of  Surgeons  in  Dublin,  being  also  under  the  preceptorship  of  a  Dr.  Nalty. 
Although  completing  the  course  in  three  years,  he  had  to  wait  until  he  was 
twenty-one  years  old  before  obtaining  his  diploma. 

After  serving  as  a  physician's  assistant  for  a  year,  a  position  as  surgeon  on 
an  Atlantic  liner  was  offered  to  Dr.  Lee,  who  made  a  number  of  voyages. 
Learning  of  a  favorable  opening  for  a  surgeon  in  Chicago,  he  came  to  this 
city  in  1864  and  located  on  the  west  side.  His  practice  grew  rapidly  and  in 
1880  he  enlisted  Dr.  Murphy  as  his  assistant.  Dr.  Murphy  remained  with  him 
for  ten  years,  being  succeeded  by  Dr.  Frederick  S.  Hartmann. 

Dr.  Lee  was  for  many  years  on  the  surgical  staff  of  Cook  County  Hospital 
and  the  Alexian  Brothers  Hospital.  For  more  than  twenty  years  he  was  chief 
surgeon  for  the  Pennsylvania  lines  west  of  Pittsburgh.  He  was  a  member  of 
the  American  Medical  Association  and  the  Illinois  State  and  Chicago  Medical 
Societies. 

Dr.  Lee  died  August  11,  1907,  leaving  a  family  which  included  three  sons, 
two  of  whom  were  practicing  physicians  located  in  Chicago. 

JOHN     WILLIAM     STREETER 
(1841-1905) 

A  soldier  in  the  Army  of  the  Cumberland  who  was  promoted  for  bravery 
on  the  field  of  battle,  graduate  of  Hahnemann  Medical  College  and  later 
professor  of  diseases  of  women  in  that  institution,  founder  of  Streeter  Hos- 
pital, Dr.  John  William  Streeter  was  born  in  Austinburg,  Ashtabula  County, 
Ohio,  September  17,  1841.  He  was  the  son  of  Rev.  Sereno  W.  Streeter,  a 
clergyman  of  the  Congregational  church  and  of  Mary  Williams  Streeter,  a 
descendant  of  Roger  Williams.  Both  of  the  parents  were  graduates  of 
Oberlin  College. 

For  four  years,  from  1858  to  1861,  inclusive,  John  Streeter  taught  school 
and  worked  on  a  farm  in  northern  Indiana.  In  July,  1861,  he  joined  the 
First  Regiment  of  Michigan  Light  Artillery  and  for  three  years  followed 
the  fortunes  of  the  Army  of  the  Cumberland,  never  being  off  duty  a  day 
during  the  entire  period.  He  was  promoted  to  the  rank  of  second  lieutenant 
for  bravery  during  the  first  day's  battle  at  Chickamauga,  the  piece  of  artillery 
of  which  he  had  charge  being  the  only  one  in  the  battery  which  did  not  fall 
into  the  hands  of  the  enemy.  He  also  participated  in  the  engagements  at 
Nashville  and  Franklin,  being  mustered  out  in  the  fall  of  1865  with  the  rank 
of  first  lieutenant. 

At  the  conclusion  of  the  war  he  began  his  professional  studies  at  the  Uni- 
versity of  Michigan,  continuing  them  in  the  office  of  Dr.  D.  C.  Powers  of 
Coldwater,  Michigan.  Subsequently  he  pursued  a  course  of  reading  under 
Dr.  Goodwin  in  Toledo,  Ohio,  but  finally  he  came  to  Chicago,  entered  Hahne- 
mann Medical  College  and  was  graduated  therefrom  in  1868.  For  two  years 
he  worked  in  the  dispensary  of  the  college  and  later  he  became  professor 
of  diseases  of  women  at  Hahnemann.  For  twelve  years  he  was  attending 
gynecologist  at  Cook  County  Hospital. 

In  1888  he  founded  the  hospital  at  2646  Calumet  Avenue  which  bears  his 
name.  He  was  a  member  of  the  American  Institute  of  Homeopathy  and 
of  the  Illinois  State  and  Chicago  Homeopathic  societies.  He  was  also  surgeon 
of  the  old  First  Regiment  and  of  the  First  Infantry  Brigade  of  the  Illinois 


122  HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO 

National  Guard  and  was  a  member  of  the  Military  Order  of  the  Loyal  Legion. 

In  1869  he  married  Miss  Mary  Clark  of  Union  City,  Michigan.  There  were 
three  children,  Mrs.  Alfred  T.  Martin,  Dr.  Edward  Clark  Streeter  and  Mrs. 
Philip  Hamill. 

During  his  last  years,  Dr.  Streeter,  who  took  a  great  interest  in  agricul- 
ture, wrote  a  book  entitled,  "Fat  of  the  Land,"  a  story  of  an  American  farm. 

He  died  June  4,  1905. 

TEMPLE    STOUGHTON     HOYNE 
(1841-1899) 

Dr.  Temple  Stoughton  Hoyne,  son  of  Thomas  Hoyne  of  the  Chicago  bar 
and  grandson  of  Dr.  John  T.  Temple,  was  born  in  Chicago,  October  16,  1841. 
He  first  attended  school  in  the  old  Dearborn  school  in  Madison  street  oppo- 
site McVicker's  theater.  At  ten  years  of  age  he  was  placed  under  a  tutor 
and  thereafter  he  attended  private  schools  until  he  entered  the  old  Chicago 
University  in  1860.  He  was  graduated  in  1863,  receiving  the  degrees  of  B.  S., 
M.  S.  and  A.  M. 

He  then  matriculated  in  the  medical  department  of  Bellevue  Hospital. 
While  pursuing  his  studies  he  was  called  to  active  service  with  the  medical 
corps  of  the  army  and  had  charge  with  another  physician  of  a  hospital  in 
Fredericksburg,  Virginia.  Dr.  Hoyne  received  his  medical  degree  in  1865. 

In  1869  he  was  elected  professor  of  materia  medica  in  the  Hahnemann 
Medical  College  of  Chicago.  He  also  assumed  charge  of  the  venereal  patients 
in  Scammon  Hospital.  He  was  also  business  manager  and  registrar  of  the 
college.  Later  he  was  a  member  of  the  faculties  of  Hering  Medical  College 
and  Dunham  Medical  College. 

Dr.  Hoyne  frequently  contributed  to  medical  journals.  His  published 
works  include  "Clinical  Therapeutics"  and  "A  Monograph  on  Urinary  and 
Venereal  Diseases."  He  was  also  editor  of  the  Medical  Visitor. 

On  October  17,  1866,  he  married  Miss  Fannie  H.  Vedder  of  Palatine  Bridge, 
New  York.  There  was  one  daughter,  who  became  Mrs.  Charles  H.  Buell. 
He  died  February  4,  1899. 

CHARLES  THEODORE  PARKES 
(1842-1891) 

Private  soldier  and  officer  in  the  Civil  War,  successor  of  Dr.  Moses  Gunn 
as  professor  of  surgery  in  Rush  Medical  College,  president  of  the  Chicago 
Medical  Society  and  of  the  Chicago  Gynecological  Society,  Dr.  Charles  T. 
Parkes  was  one  of  the  ablest  and  best  beloved  surgeons  in  the  Mississippi 
Valley. 

During  his  last  illness  Dr.  Gunn  spoke  frequently  of  his  personal  relations 
with  Dr.  Parkes,  first  as  a  student,  afterwards  as  an  assistant,  and  paid  him 
this  tribute : 

"I  know  of  no  one  in  whose  hands  I  would  sooner  trust  my  life,  my  reputa- 
tion and  my  property." 

Dr.  Parkes  was  born  in  Troy,  N.  Y.,  August  19,  1842.  He  was  the  youngest 
of  ten  children  of  Joseph  Parkes,  an  Englishman  by  birth,  who  moved  to 
Chicago  in  1868. 

At  the  outbreak  of  the  Civil  War,  Dr.  Parkes  was  a  student  at  the  Uni- 
versity of  Michigan,  but  he  promptly  abandoned  his  academic  course  to  enlist 
as  a  private  in  Company  A,  117th  Illinois  Volunteer  Infantry.  Later  he  was 
promoted  to  a  captaincy  and  placed  in  command  of  a  company  of  the  69th 


HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO  123 

United  States  Infantry.  Captain  Parkes  had  studied  engineering  and  among 
his  achievements  during  the  war  was  the  building  of  the  fortifications  at 
Island  Number  Ten  in  the  Mississippi  river.  At  the  close  of  the  conflict  he 
declined  a  colonel's  commission. 

The  youthful  veteran  began  the  study  of  medicine  with  Dr.  Robert  L.  Rea 
and  was  graduated  from  Rush  Medical  College  in  1868.  The  same  year  he 
married  Miss  Isabella  J.  Gonterman.  . 

A  few  weeks  after  receiving  his  degree  Dr.  Parkes  was  chosen  demonstrator 
of  anatomy  at  his  alma  mater  and  in  1875  was  elected  professor  of  anatomy. 

In  1887  Dr.  Parkes  was  designated  professor  of  surgery  in  Rush  Medical 
College  in  succession  to  Dr.  Moses  Gunn,  whom  he  also  succeeded  as  treas- 
urer of  the  college.  He  held  both  of  these  positions  until  his  death. 

Dr.  Parkes  was  one  of  the  attending  surgeons  of  the  Presbyterian  Hospital, 
professor  of  surgery  in  the  Chicago  Policlinic,  surgeon  in  charge  of  St. 
Joseph's  Hospital,  consulting  surgeon  of  the  Hospital  for  Women  and  Chil- 
dren and  surgeon-in-chief  of  the  Augustana  Hospital.  He  was  president  of 
the  Chicago  Medical  Society  in  1885-86  and  later  was  head  of  the  Chicago 
Gynecological  Society.  In  1890  Dr.  Parkes  was  chairman  of  the  surgical 
section  of  the  International  Medical  Congress,  which  was  held  in  London. 

Dr.  Parkes'  specialty  was  abdominal  surgery,  in  which  he  was  a  pioneer 
investigator,  being  one  of  the  first  to  advocate  unting  severed  intestines.  For 
the  purpose  of  gaining  a  better  knowledge  of  both  the  consequences  and  treat- 
ment of  gunshot  wounds  of  the  intestine,  he  made  a  series  of  experiments  on 
forty  dogs.  The  number  of  recoveries  astounded  the  medical  profession  and 
led  to  further  experiments  in  all  parts  of  the  world. 

In  connection  with  Dr.  Parkes'  work  in  this  field,  Dr.  Roswell  Park  wrote: 

"During  the  first  half  of  the  previous  century,  surgery  had  not  included,  so 
far  as  I  know,  complete  removal  of  any  organ  of  the  body.  Fifty  years  ago 
both  the  thorax  and  abdomen  were  sanctums,  in  a  surgical  sense,  into  which 
the  surgeon  rarely,  if  ever,  ventured  to  intrude.  Thus,  no  one  ventured  to 
operate  for  gunshot  wounds  of  the  abdominal  viscera,  especially  of  the  in- 
testines, until  the  matter  was  taken  up  by  Parkes  of  Chicago  and  Bull  of  New 
York.  Their  initiative  has  given  rise  to  a  line  of  work  and  teaching  which,  a 
few  years  ago,  when  it  was  new,  startled  the  entire  professional  world." 

Jacobson's  work  in  operative  surgery,  published  about  1886  in  England, 
gave  Dr.  Parkes  full  credit  for  priority  and  originality  in  the  field  of  gunshot 
wounds  of  the  abdomen.  His  work  in  the  surgery  of  the  gall-bladder,  which 
was  then  in  its  infancy,  also  was  conspicuous  in  influencing  new  lines  of 
treatment.  Preceding  Dr.  Parkes'  operations,  there  were  not  twenty-five  ideal 
cholecystotomies. 

In  1885,  before  anyone  had  operated  for  the  removal  of  a  stone  from  the 
common  bile  duct,  Parkes  had  worked  out  and  described  the  operation  of 
choledochotomy.  He  had  performed  this  operation  in  a  public  clinic  at  that 
time.  This  was  published  about  1885  in  the  Chicago  Medical  Recorder.  Some 
years  later  Dr.  Christian  Fenger  in  his  article  on  the  ball  valve  action  of  a 
floating  stone  in  the  common  duct  gave  Dr.  Parkes  credit  for  this  work. 

For  several  years  before  his  death  Dr.  Parkes  had  been  accumulating  ma- 
terial for  works  on  general  and  abdominal  surgery,  but  his  sudden  death 
stopped  the  writing.  The  works  he  left  were  published  under  "Clinical  Lec- 
turers," but  there  were  some  fifty  or  more  writings  besides  these  that  were 
published  in  the  current  medical  journals.

HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO  125 

Dr.  Parkes  died  March  28,  1891.  He  was  survived  by  Mrs.  Parkes,  a  son, 
Charles  H.  Parkes,  who  later  became  a  Chicago  surgeon,  and  a  daughter, 
Miss  Irene  Edna  Parkes,  now  Mrs.  Philip  F.  Matzinger. 

Of  Dr.  Parkes,  Dr.  William  T.  Belfield  has  written : 

''To  become  one  of  the  dozen  leading  surgeons  of  America  at  forty-eight 
years  of  age  is  a  rare  achievement ;  in  the  case  of  Dr.  Parkes  this  achievement 
was  unique.  For  surgery,  as  we  know  it,  was  virtually  born  only  ten  years 
before  his  untimely  death.  Until  he  attained  middle  life  surgery  was  a  mere 
mechanical  art ;  for  the  underlying  causes  of  surgical  disease  were  until  then 
only  suspected. 

"Yet  with  the  advance  of  the  new  surgery  Dr.  Parkes  kept  pace ;  yes,  he  led 
the  vanguard  of  surgical  progress  in  at  least  one  great  field — the  operative 
treatment  of  penetrating  wounds  of  the  abdomen." 

"For  years  before  he  was  elected  professor  of  surgery  he  had  been  one  of 
the  leading  surgeons  of  Chicago,"  wrote  Dr.  James  H.  Etheridge.  "Each 
week  throughout  the  year  up  to  the  time  of  his  death  he  conducted  three  sur- 
gical clinics  which  were  without  parallel  in  the  annals  of  medical  college 
teaching.  He  was  among  the  first  to  do  laparotomies  before  large  classes  of 
students.  It  was  no  uncommon  thing  for  him  to  open  a  clinic  with  a  laparo- 
tomy  and  subsequently  to  perform  from  four  to  eight  minor  operations,  be- 
sides disposing  of  as  many  more  dispensary  patients  in  one  afternoon. 

"As  a  surgeon  and  as  a  teacher  of  surgery,  Dr.  Parkes  had  few  equals.  His 
diagnosis  were  positive  and  almost  invariably  correct.  His  comprehensive 
mind  grasped  all  the  conditions  present  and  at  once  constructed  a  complete 
clinical  picture.  His  extraordinary  success  with  the  most  formidable  surgical 
cases  was  due  to  his  clear  judgment,  his  great  manual  skill  and  dexterity  and 
to  his  conscientious  attention  to  the  minutest  details  of  after  treatment.  He 
never  spared  himself ;  he  always  gave  the  best  of  his  knowledge  and  of  his 
strength. 

"He  was  a  man  of  large  heart,  tender  sympathy  and  was  considerate  and 
gentle  with  rich  and  poor  alike.  He  was  as  generous  as  he  was  kind;  many 
are  the  poor  that  he  treated,  not  only  free  of  charge,  but  also  supported  at  the 
hospital." 

ALBERT     GARY     BEEBE 
(1843-1903) 

Dr.  Albert  Gary  Beebe  was  born  May  21,  1843,  at  Newark,  New  York. 

After  attending  private  schools  he  entered  Genesee  College,  New  York,  in 
1858,  but  because  of  his  youth,  he  decided  after  the  first  year  to  work  in  his 
brother's  pharmacy  in  Chicago  for  a  year  or  two. 

\Yhen  war  was  declared  between  the  north  and  the  south,  Dr.  Beebe 
enlisted  in  the  Fifty-first  Illinois  Volunteer  Infantry.  He  was  present  at  the 
battles  of  Stone  River,  Corinth  and  Murphreesboro.  He  was  taken  seriously 
ill  in  1863  and  was  invalided  home.  At  this  time  he  was  told  he  could  not 
live  ten  years  and  during  the  rest  of  his  life  it  was  never  possible  to  count 
his  pulse  because  of  its  irregularity. 

He  returned  to  Genesee  College  and  was  graduated  in  1866.  He  was  gradu- 
ated from  Hahnemann  Medical  College  of  Chicago  in  1869  and  from  the 
Bellevue  Hospital  Medical  College  in  1870.  He  thereupon  entered  into  part- 
nership with  his  brother,  Gaylord.  but  in  1872  he  moved  to  the  west  side, 
where  he  resided  the  rest  of  his  life. 

In  1871  and  1872  Dr.  Beebe  was  professor  of  physiology  and  in  1873  pro- 


126  HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO 

fessor  of  surgery  in  Hahnemann  Medical  College.  During  the  following 
spring  the  trustees  created  for  him  the  chair  of  dermic  and  orthopedic  surgery, 
of  which  he  was  incumbent  for  two  years.  In  1876  he  assisted  in  founding 
the  Chicago  Homeopathic  Medical  College  and  assumed  the  chair  of  senior 
professor  of  surgery  in  that  institution. 

While  a  member  of  the  staff  of  Hahnemann  Medical  College,  he  was  attend- 
ing surgeon  at  the  Hahnemann  Hospital  and,  after  the  founding  of  the 
Chicago  Homeopathic  Medical  College,  he  was  identified  with  its  affiliated 
hospital  and  dispensary.  In  the  spring  of  1897  he  was  appointed  attending 
surgeon  at  Cook  county  hospital  and  was  chief  of  staff  of  its  homeopathic 
department. 

Dr.  Beebe  married  Miss  Frances  Lucy  Northway  at  Horseheads,  New 
York,  March  3,  1870.  There  were  two  children,  Dr.  Leslie  Walter  Beebe 
and  Clara  Margery  Beebe  Rickords. 

Dr.  Beebe  \vas  an  elder  in  the  Third  Presbyterian  Church  from  1880  to  1903. 

He  died  December  4,  1903,  after  an  acute  illness  of  five  days. 

FERDINAND     CARL     HOTZ 
(1843-1909) 

Student  at  Jena  and  graduate  of  Heidelberg,  surgeon  in  the  Austrian  Army, 
and  pupil  of  Graefe,  Gruber  and  Politzer,  Dr.  Ferdinand  Carl  Hotz  came  to 
Chicago  in  1869  exceptionally  equipped  for  practice. 

Dr.  Hotz  was  born  in  Wertheim,  Germany,  July  12,  1843.  For  four  years 
he  studied  at  the  University  of  Jena,  thence  proceeding  to  Heidelberg  from 
which  he  was  graduated  in  1865.  During  the  Austro-Prussian  war  in  1866  he 
was  a  surgeon  in  the  field.  At  the  conclusion  of  hostilities  he  went  to  Berlin, 
where  he  studied  under  Graefe,  the  most  famous  oculist  of  his  time.  Later 
his  preceptors  were  the  aurists  Gruber  and  Politzer  of  Vienna. 

In  1868  he  was  appointed  house  surgeon  at  the  hospital  of  the  University  of 
Heidelberg  and  in  1869  he  attended  clinics  in  Paris,  London,  Edinburgh  and 
Glasgow. 

Late  in  1869  Dr.  Hotz  came  to  Chicago.  From  1870  to  1875  he  was  oculist 
and  aurist  at  Cook  County  Hospital  and  from  1875  to  1892  he  was  attending 
surgeon  at  the  Illinois  Charitable  Eye  and  Ear  Infirmary.  During  his  teach- 
ing career  he  was  also  professor  of  ophthalmology  and  otology  at  the 
Woman's  Medical  College,  professor  of  ophthalmology  in  the  Chicago  Poli- 
clinic, oculist  and  aurist  at  the  Presbyterian  Hospital  and  professor  of  oph- 
thalmology and  otology  at  Rush  Medical  College. 

In  1888  he  was  chairman  of  the  section  of  ophthalmology  and  otology  of 
the  American  Medical  Association.  He  founded  in  1890  the  Chicago  Society 
of  Ophthalmology  and  Otology,  of  which  he  was  president  for  three  years. 

He  was  a  member  of  the  American  Medical  Association,  the  Illinois  State 
Medical  Society,  of  which  he  was  vice  president  in  1872,  and  the  Chicago 
Medical  Society,  of  which  he  was  president  in  1892-93. 

Beginning  in  1875  he  served  on  the  public  library  board  for  three  years. 
He  married  a  daughter  of  F.  W.  Rosenmerkel,  a  veteran  druggist  of  Chicago, 
in  1873. 

He  died  in  Chicago,  March  21,  1909. 

HENRY     HOOPER 
(1844-1919) 
Dr.  Henry  Hooper,  one  of  the  organizers  of  the  Chicago  Policlinic  and  a 


HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO  127 

leading  gynecologist  in  Chicago,  was  born  in  Marblehead,  Mass.,  February 
13,  1844.  After  a  preliminary  education  in  public  schools  and  from  tutors, 
he  matriculated  at  Harvard  College,  from  which  he  received  the  degree  of 
A.  B.  in  1865. 

Four  years  later  he  was  graduated  from  Harvard  Medical  School.  After 
serving  an  interneship  in  the  Massachusetts  General  Hospital  in  Boston,  he 
came  to  Chicago,  arriving  here  shortly  before  the  great  fire  of  1871. 

Professor  of  obstetrics  and  gynecology  in  the  Chicago  Policlinic,  of  which 
he  was  treasurer  at  the  time  of  his  death,  Dr.  Hooper  was  a  member  of  the 
staffs  of  Alexian  Brothers',  Passavant  Memorial  and  Henrotin  Hospitals. 

He  was  married  twice,  his  first  wife  being  Miss  Ethel  Plato.  A  daughter 
of  that  marriage  is  the  wife  of  Dr.  Martin  Edwards  of  Boston.  In  1886  Dr. 
Hooper  married  Miss  Alice  Arnold,  who,  with  a  son,  Henry  Hooper,  Jr.,  sur- 
vived him. 

He  died  September  17,  1919. 

JAMES     HENRY     ETHERIDGE 
(1844-1899) 

Two  years'  clinical  experience  in  the  hospitals  of  Europe  that  supplemented 
three  full  courses  at  Rush  Medical  College  was  the  equipment  that  Dr.  James 
Henry  Etheridge  took  to  the  chair  of  therapeutics  and  medical  jurisprudence 
when  he  was  summoned  to  the  west  side  institution  in  1871. 

Dr.  Etheridge  was  born  in  St.  Johnsville,  N.  Y.,  March  20,  1844.  He  was 
the  son  of  Francis  B.  Etheridge,  M.  D.,  whose  active  practice  in  New  York 
State,  throughout  the  Civil  War  and  in  Minnesota  covered  a  period  of  forty- 
seven  years. 

Dr.  James  H.  Etheridge  studied  medicine  at  Hastings,  Minn.,  for  a  short 
time  preceding  matriculation  at  Rush  Medical  College.  After  graduation 
from  that  institution  in  1869,  he  devoted  two  years  to  study  in  the  hospitals 
of  Europe.  He  returned  to  Chicago  in  1871  and  for  the  following  eighteen 
years  he  was  professor  of  therapeutics  and  medical  jurisprudence.  At  the 
close  of  this  period  he  succeeded  Dr.  W.  H.  Byford  as  professor  of  obstetrics 
and  gynecology.  He  was  also  a  member  of  the  medical  staff  of  the  Woman's 
Hospital  and  one  of  the  attending  gynecologists  of  the  Central  Free 
Dispensary. 

In  1892  he  was  appointed  professor  of  obstetrics  and  gynecology  in  Chi- 
cago Policlinic  Hospital  and  was  attending  gynecologist  in  the  Policlinic 
Hospital  and  the  Presbyterian  Hospital. 

In  1888  he  was  elected  president  of  the  Chicago  Medical  Society  and  in 
1890  he  was  chosen  head  of  the  Chicago  Gynecological  Society.  He  was 
also  a  member  of  the  American  and  Illinois  State  Medical  Societies,  the  Pan- 
American  Medical  Association  and  a  founder  and  life  member  of  the  Inter- 
national Association  of  Obstetrics  and  Gynecology,  whose  first  meeting  was 
held  at  Brussels  in  September,  1892. 

Commissioned  major  surgeon  of  the  First  Brigade,  Illinois  National  Guard, 
in  1893,  Dr.  Etheridge  was  advanced  to  the  rank  of  lieutenant  colonel  and 
assistant  surgeon  general  in  1897.  From  this  position  he  resigned  shortly 
before  his  death,  February  9,  1899. 

Dr.  Etheridge  married  Miss  Harriet  Elizabeth  Powers  in  June,  1870.  She, 
with  their  daughter,  Emily,  survived  him.

MICHAEL     MANNHEIMER 
(1844-1891) 

Heidelberg  and  Vienna  were  among  the  institutions  that  gave  Dr.  Michael 
Mannheimer  the  equipment  which  enabled  him  later  to  become  chief  attend- 
ing surgeon  at  large  Chicago  hospitals. 

He  was  born  at  Moenichsroth,  Batavia,  March  29,  1844.  He  was  the  son  of 
a  physician  whose  professional  life  was  passed  in  Moenichsroth.  Matriculat- 
ing at  the  University  of  Munich,  Michael  Mannheimer  continued  his  studies 
at  Erlanger  under  Professor  Herz.  He  afterward  spent  a  year  in  Vienna, 
receiving  later  a  certificate  from  Heidelberg. 

He  came  to  Chicago  in  1865  and  in  1869  was  graduated  in  medicine  from 
the  University  of  Louisiana.  Returning  to  Chicago,  he  received  an  appoint- 
ment as  an  inspector  in  the  department  of  health.  Here  he  made  an  exhaus- 
tive study  of  trichinosis,  the  results  of  which  were  published  by  Dr.  John  H. 
Ranch,  then  president  of  the  Illinois  State  Board  of  Health. 

Dr.  Mannheimer  joined  the  staff  of  Michael  Reese  Hospital  in  1876  and  was 
its  chief  attending  physician  until  the  close  of  his  life.  He  was  also  chief 
attending  physician  at  Alexian  Brothers  Hospital.  He  was  professor  of  medi- 
cine in  the  Chicago  Policlinic  and  Hospital  and  a  member  of  the  medical  staff 
of  the  German  American  dispensary. 

He  died  at  Chicago,  August  13,  1891. 


RANDOLPH  NATHANIEL  HALL 
(1844-1901) 

A  drummer  boy  at  Shiloh  and  Vicksburg  and  for  years  a  well  known  phy- 
sician in  Chicago,  Dr.  Randolph  Nathaniel  Hall  was  born  at  Eagleville,  O., 
April  2,  1844.  After  the  removal  of  his  family  to  Clay,  la.,  in  1855,  he  attended 
school  until  the  outbreak  of  the  civil  war. 

In  the  summer  of  1861  he  enlisted  as  a  drummer  in  Company  C,  Eighth 
Iowa  Volunteer  Infantry.  He  was  present  at  the  battles  of  Shiloh,  the  siege 
and  capture  of  Vicksburg  and  in  the  campaigns  in  Tennessee,  Louisiana  and 
Alabama. 

After  being  mustered  out  in  1866  Dr.  Hall  began  the  study  of  medicine  in 
the  College  of  Physicians  and  Surgeons  in  Keokuk,  Iowa,  and  was  licensed 
to  practice  in  that  state  in  1869.  After  practicing  in  various  towns  in  the  west, 
Dr,  Hall  came  to  Chicago  in  1881  and  entered  Rush  Medical  College,  from 
which  he  was  graduated  in  1882.  Subsequently  he  was  appointed  demon- 
strator of  anatomy  in  the  College  of  Physicians  and  Surgeons. 

Dr.  Hall  was  one  of  the  organizers  of  the  American  Medical  College,  which 
was  later  absorbed  by  the  Harvey  Medical  College.  In  this  institution  he 
held  the  chair  of  surgery.  In  1895  he  organized  the  Illinois  Medical  College, 
of  which  he  was  the  first  president.  Dr.  Hall  was  attending  surgeon  at  St. 
Elizabeth's  Hospital,  the  Baptist  Hospital  and  the  Mary  Thompson  Hospital. 

Dr.  Hall  was  a  member  of  the  Chicago  Medical  Society,  the  Illinois  State 
Medical  Society,  the  American  Medical  Association,  the  Therapeutic  Club 
and  the  Chicago  Pathological  Society,  of  which  he  was  president  in  1894. 

Dr.  Hall  died  January  1,  1901.  He  was  survived)  by  his  widow,  who  was 
Miss  Catherine  L.  Meacham  of  Clay,  la.,  and  a  son,  Glenn  Hall,  now  of  New 
York  City.

HENRY     MARTYN     BANNISTER 
(1844-1920) 

Known  as  a  neurologist  and  a  man  well  versed  in  medical  science,  Dr. 
Henry  Martyn  Bannister's  first  activity  as  a  young  man  was  in  assisting 
in  blazing  trails  in  western  states  and  territories  as  a  member  of  government 
geological  surveys. 

He  was  born  in  Cazenovia,  New  York,  July  25,  1844,  the  son  of  Rev. 
Henry  and  Lucy  Kimball  Bannister.  In  1863  he  received  the  degree  of 
Ph.  B.  from  Northwestern  University  and  six  years  later  that  of  A.  M. 
In  1867-68  he  had  assisted  in  a  geological  survey  of  Illinois. 

After  he  received  his  medical  degree  from  the  National  Medical  College, 
Washington,  D.  C.,  in  1871,  he  was  a  member  of  the  party  which  made  the 
United  States  Geological  Survey  of  the  territories,  including  Alaska.  Fol- 
lowing this  he  located  in  Chicago,  where  he  began  the  practice  of  medicine 
in  1874. 

With  the  late  Dr.  James  S.  Jewell  he  founded  and  jointly  edited  the 
Journal  of  Nervous  and  Mental  Diseases  and  he  was  co-author  with  the 
late  Dr.  Daniel  R.  Brower  of  a  textbook  on  insanity.  For  several  years  he 
was  assistant  superintendent  of  the  Kankakee  State  Hospital  for  the  Insane. 
He  was  for  many  years  a  member  of  the  editorial  staff  of  the  Journal  of 
the  American  Medical  Association. 

On  June  14,  1887,  he  married  Miss  Delia  C.  Ladd  of  Chicago,  who  sur- 
vived him  upon  his  death,  May  1,  1920,  at  his  home  in  Evanston. 

Of  Dr.   Bannister  it  was   said : 

"He  was  a  man  wonderfully  well  read  in  medical  science,  and  was 
learned,  not  only  in  his  own  specialty  but  in  the  broad  fields  of  literature 
and  science ;  a  man  of  delightful  personality  and  beloved  by  all  who  knew 
him." 

NICHOLAS     SENN 
(1844-1908) 

"Several  years  ago  when  the  question  of  the  auto-inoculability  of  cancer 
was  under  discussion  in  the  medical  press  and  the  claim  was  made  by  east- 
ern surgeons  of  considerable  prominence  that  they  had  succeeded  in  their 
engrafting  experiments,  Dr.  Senn  was  visiting  at  my  house.  I  observed  when 
he  was  dressing  for  dinner  a  collodion  crust  on  his  left  forearm  and  inquired 
the  cause  of  such  an  unusual  injury.  His  answers  were  evasive  and  unsatis- 
factory, but  when  I  became  insistent  he  confessed  he  had  had  two  carcino- 
matous  growths  inserted  into  his  arm  to  test  the  matter.  Had  the  experi- 
ment succeeded,  his  would  have  been  another  life  sacrificed  to  the  cause  of 
science  and  he  would  have  accepted  his  martyrdom  without  a  murmur." 
(S.  M.  Wylie,  M.  D.) 

That  was  Nicholas  Senn,  Master  of  Surgery. 

"And  yet  the  world  actually  knows  but  little  of  the  indebtedness  of  science 
to  him  and  of  his  unselfish  labors  in  its  behalf,"  writes  Dr.  Wylie.  "In  his 
laboratory,  constructed  under  the  sidewalk  and  connected  with  his  office 
building  in  Milwaukee,  the  existence  of  which  was  known  only  to  a  few 
friends,  night  after  night,  for  years,  he  carried  on  his  original  investigations 
and  dissections  of  guinea  pigs,  rabbits,  sheep,  calves  and  human  cadavers, 
toiling  alone,  working  frequently  all  night  over  these  ghastly  remnants  of  the 
dead  or  experimental  vivisection  of  the  living  animal  that  it  might  yield 


HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO  131 

some  truth  to  benefit  humanity.  Here  he  conducted  his  experiments,  the 
results  of  which  he  gave  to  the  world  in  dicta  of  great  value." 

Nicholas  Senn  was  born  in  the  Canton  of  St.  Gaul,  Switzerland,  October 
31,  1844.  In  1852,  the  family  moved  to  Washington  County,  Wisconsin,  and 
the  future  surgeon  received  his  preliminary  education  in  Fond  du  Lac. 

In  1868,  he  received  his  medical  degree  from  the  Chicago  Medical  College 
and  then  served  as  interne  in  Cook  County  Hospital  for  eighteen  months. 
After  this,  he  began  practice  in  Ashford,  Wisconsin.  Six  years  later  he 
moved  to  Milwaukee,  where  he  was  appointed  attending  physician  at  Mil- 
waukee Hospital.  In  1877  he  visited  Europe  and  the  following  year  was 
graduated  "cum  laude"  from  the  University  of  Munich.  While  in  Munich, 
he  was  the  pupil  of  von  Nussbaum,  one  of  the  great  surgeons  of  his  time. 

In  1882,  after  his  return  from  Europe,  he  was  appointed  professor  of  sur- 
gery in  the  College  of  Physicians  and  Surgeons  of  Chicago,  but  for  some 
time  continued  to  reside  in  Milwaukee.  It  was  at  this  time  that  he  was 
appointed  surgeon-general  of  the  national  guard  of  Wisconsin.  He  was 
elected  to  the  chair  of  the  principles  of  surgery  and  surgical  pathology 
in  Rush  Medical  College  in  1888  and  in  1891  he  succeeded  Dr.  Charles  T. 
Parkes  in  the  chair  of  practice  of  surgery  and  clinical  surgery  in  the  same 
institution. 

From  the  beginning  of  his  practice,  Dr.  Senn  was  a  teacher.  Speaking  of 
his  lectures  in  Chicago,  Dr.  A.  J.  Ochsner  says,  "There  never  were  such  lec- 
tures on  this  subject  before." 

In  1892,  Dr.  Senn  was  the  founder  and  first  president  of  the  Association 
of  Military  Surgeons  of  the  National  Guard  of  the  United  States.  The  fol- 
lowing year,  soon  after  the  inauguration  of  Governor  Altgeld,  he  was 
appointed  surgeon-general  of  the  national  guard  of  Illinois.  In  1894,  he  was 
elected  president  of  the  Chicago  Medical  Society  and  in  1897  president  of 
the  American  Medical  Association.  The  latter  year  he  was  one  of  ten 
selected  to  address  the  Twelfth  International  Medical  Congress,  which  met 
that  year  in  Moscow. 

At  the  outbreak  of  the  Spanish-American  war,  he  offered  his  services  for 
active  assignment  at  the  front.  He  was  present  at  the  battle  of  El  Caney 
and  performed  distinguished  service  in  the  Cuban  campaign. 

In  1899  he  was  invited  to  deliver  the  "Lane  Lecture,"  in  Cooper  Medical 
College  in  San  Francisco.  He  was  honored  with  numerous  degrees,  includ- 
ing that  of  Magister  Chirurgiae,  which  he  received  from  a  British  institution. 

In  addition  to  his  service  in  Rush  Medical  College,  he  was  professor  of 
surgery  in  the  Chicago  Policlinic.  He  also  held  appointments  as  surgeon- 
in-chief  of  St.  Joseph's  and  the  Presbyterian  hospitals.  He  was  also  pro- 
fessor of  surgery  and  military  surgery  in  the  University  of  Chicago. 

Dr.  Senn's  early  experimental  work  in  abdominal  surgery  made  him  fore- 
most in  this  field,  and  his  researches  in  intestinal  perforations,  particularly 
in  gunshot  wounds,  added  greatly  to  the  knowledge  of  the  subject.  He  did 
much  to  develop  modern  ideas  in  surgical  tuberculosis,  and  published  a  mono- 
graph on  "Surgery  of  the  Pancreas"  in  1885,  based  on  extensive  experimen- 
tation. 

Among  his  other  books  were,  "Experimental  Surgery,"  "Intestinal  Sur- 
gery," "Surgical  Bacteriology,"  "Principles  of  Surgery"  and  "Pathology  and 
Surgical  Treatment  of  Tumors."  He  stands  sponsor  for  twenty-three  pub- 
lished books.

Dr.  Senn  was  an  enthusiastic  traveler  and  explorer  and  wrote  entertain- 
ingly of  his  travels.  Books  of  this  nature  included,  "Around  the  World  via 
Siberia,"  "Around  the  World  via  India,"  "Our  Recreation  Parks,"  "Tahiti,  the 
Island  Paradise,"  "In  the  Heart  of  the  Arctics,"  "Travels  in  Africa"  and 
"Travels  in  South  America." 

A  lasting  monument  to  his  memory  is  known  as  the  "Senn  Collection,"  a 
medical  library  representing  an  outlay  of  $50,000,  which  Dr.  Senn  first  pre- 
sented to  the  Newberry  Library  and  which  later  was  transferred  to  the 
John  Crerar  Library.  The  medical  section  of  the  John  Crerar  Library  cen- 
ters around  the  Senn  Room,  which  is  a  mecca  for  the  medical  profession  of 
the  northwest. 

Another  gift  of  Dr.  Senn's  was  a  donation  of  $50,000  toward  a  clinical 
building  for  Rush  Medical  College,  devoted  to  clinical  and  laboratory  pur- 
poses and  erected  at  a  total  cost  of  $127,500.  It  now  bears  the  name  of 
Senn  Memorial  Building. 

He  endowed  with  $25,000  the  Senn  professorship  of  surgery  in  Rush  Medi- 
cal College,  and  with  $15,000  the  Senn  fellowship  in  surgery  in  the  same 
institution.  In  St.  Joseph's  Hospital  he  endowed  with  $35,000  a  room  for 
the  perpetual  care  of  members  of  the  medical  profession.  Dr.  William  E. 
Quine  has  said,  "Nicholas  Senn,  as  a  man,  has  done  more  for  the  medical 
profession  than  all  other  physicians  combined  who  have  ever  lived  in  this 
great  city." 

While  ascending  the  Andes,  Dr.  Senn  was  stricken  with  dilatation  of  the 
heart  and  died  January  12,  1908.  He  was  survived  by  his  widow,  formerly 
Miss  Aurelia  S.  Millhouser  of  La  Crosse,  Wisconsin,  and  two  sons,  Dr. 
Emanuel  J.  and  Dr.  William  N.  Senn. 

CHARLES  WARRINGTON  EARLE 
(1845-1893) 

Co-founder  of  the  College  of  Physicians  and  Surgeons  of  Chicago  and  the 
Woman's  Medical  College,  Dr.  Charles  Warrington  Earle  had  come  to  Chi- 
cago after  an  exceptional  career  in  the  Union  army. 

He  was  born  in  Westford,  Chittenden  County,  Vt.,  April  2,  1845,  the  son 
of  Moses  L.  Earle.  He  was  of  English  ancestry  and  a  lineal  descendant  of 
Ralph  Earle  of  Exeter,  England,  who  came  to  Rhode  Island  about  1634.  In 
1854  the  father  of  Dr.  Earle  moved  to  Lake  County,  111.,  where  the  boy's 
early  years  were  passed  in  the  country. 

Although  he  was  only  sixteen  years  old  when  the  Civil  war  began,  he 
enlisted  in  the  Fifteenth  Illinois  Volunteer  Infantry,  but  during  the  campaign 
in  Missouri  his  health  failed  and  he  was  discharged  for  disability.  In  August, 
1862,  he  again  enlisted,  this  time  as  a  private  in  the  Ninety-sixth  Illinois  Vol- 
unteer Infantry,  later  being  promoted  to  a  lieutenancy  and  commanding  his 
company  at  the  battle  of  Chickamauga.  Three  times  wounded  on  Missionary 
Ridge,  he  was  captured  and  sent  to  Libby  prison,  from  which  he  escaped  and 
reached  the  Union  lines  after  enduring  intense  privation.  At  the  end  of  a 
thirty-day  leave,  Dr.  Earle  returned  to  his  regiment  and  was  brevetted  cap- 
tain for  gallant  conduct  in  subsequent  engagements. 

After  the  war  Dr.  Earle  attended  Beloit  College  and  received  the  degree 
of  A.  M.  in  1868.  He  then  studied  medicine  in  the  office  of  Dr.  William  H. 
Byford  and  was  graduated  from  the  Chicago  Medical  College  in  1870.  The 
same  year  he  aided  in  the  organization  of  the  Woman's  Medical  College  and 


134  HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO 

became  professor  of  physiology.  Upon  the  death  of  Dr.  Byford  in  1890,  he 
became  president  of  the  institution.  For  many  years  he  was  professor  of  dis- 
ea,ses  of  children  in  this  school.  He  was  one  of  the  strongest  advocates  of 
medical  education  for  women  and  wrote  and  published  several  articles  setting 
forth  their  claims. 

In  1876  Dr.  Earle  undertook  the  establishment  of  a  new  medical  college. 
The  project  did  not  materialize,  but  in  1881,  with  Doctors  A.  Reeves  Jackson, 
D.  A.  K.  Steele,  Samuel  A.  McWilliams  and  Leonard  St.  John,  he  incorporated 
the  College  of  Physicians  and  Surgeons,  which  was  opened  the  following 
year.  He  was  professor  of  obstetrics  in  the  institution  until  his  death,  and 
also  served  as  president  of  the  corporation  for  the  year  preceding  his  death. 
In  1892  he  was  elected  professor  of  obstetrics  and  diseases  of  children  in  Rush 
Medical  College,  but  resigned  soon  after  beginning  his  duties. 

Aside  from  his  teaching  he  conducted  a  large  private  and  consultation 
practice,  especially  in  obstetrics  and  diseases  of  children.  He  prepared 
numerous  papers  upon  subjects  related  to  these  fields  for  medical  societies, 
which  were  published  in  current  journals.  He  also  wrote  for  "Keatings' 
Cyclopedia  of  Diseases  of  Children"  and  for  the  "American  Text-Book  of 
Diseases  of  Children." 

Dr.  Earle  was  an  organizer  and  president  of  the  Chicago  Gynecological 
Society  and  at  the  time  of  his  death  was  president  of  the  Chicago  Medical 
Society.  He  had  also  served  as  president  of  the  Illinois  State  Medical 
Society. 

In  1871  he  married  Miss  Fanny  L.  Bundy  of  Beloit,  Wis.,  who  died 
April  13,  1915.  Their  children  were  William  Byford  Earle,  who  died  July  22, 
1914,  and  Miss  Carrie  Earle,  who  became  the  wife  of  Dr.  George  H.  Weaver 
of  Chicago. 

Dr.  Earle  died  November  19,  1893,  of  cerebrospinal-meningitis.

JOHN     W .     TOPE 
(1845-1910) 

When  Oak  Park  was  a  small  village  of  but  a  few  souls,  Dr.  John  W.  Tope 
became  an  early  settler.  Beginning  as  a  country  practitioner,  he  was  for 
thirty-four  years  a  familiar  figure  in  the  village  and  the  surrounding  country. 

He  was  born  on  a  farm  near  New  Philadelphia,  Ohio,  November  10,  1845. 
At  the  age  of  sixteen  years  he  enlisted  in  Company  I  of  the  Thirtieth  Ohio 
Volunteer  Infantry  and  served  four  years.  He  came  to  Chicago  in  1867  to 
attend  Rush  Medical  College,  from  which  he  was  graduated  in  1870. 

After  serving  as  an  interne  at  Cook  County  Hospital,  he  was  appointed 
superintendent  of  Cook  County  Hospital  for  the  Insane  at  Dunning  and  held 
this  position  for  four  years.  He  then  practiced  in  Mont  Clare,  Illinois,  for  a 
year  and  in  1876  settled  in  Oak  Park.  For  fourteen  years  Dr.  Tope  was  a 
member  of  the  surgical  staff  of  Cook  County  Hospital.  He  founded  the 
Oak  Park  Hospital  in  1905  and  was  elected  president  of  its  medical  staff, 
holding  this  position  until  his  death. 

He  was  a  member  of  the  American  Medical  Association,  the  Illinois  State 
Medical  Society  and  the  Chicago  Medical  Society,  serving  as  president  of  the 
Aux  Plaines  branch  of  the  last-named  organization.  Shortly  before  his 
death  he  was  elected  president  of  the  Rush  Medical  College  Alumni  Associa- 
tion. 

On  January  31,   1880,   he  married   Miss   Delia   Whaples,   who,   with   two 


HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO  135 

sons,  Oliver  E.  Tope  and  Dr.  John  W.  Tope,  survived  him.    The  latter  suc- 
ceeded his  father  in  practice  in  Oak  Park. 

Dr.  Tope  died  June  18,  1910,  after  an  active  practice  of  forty  years. 

ALBERT     B.     STRONG 

(1845-1900) 

Dr.  Albert  B.  Strong  was  born  in  Galesburg,  Illinois,  in  1845.  He 
attended  Rush  Medical  College,  from  which  he  was  graduated  in  1872,  and 
during  his  senior  year  served  as  an  interne  at  St.  Luke's  Hospital.  This 
was  followed  by  an  interneship  at  Cook  County  Hospital  from  July,  1872, 
until  February,  1874. 

From  March,  1874,  until  October,  1875,  he  lectured  on  materia  medica  and 
therapeutics  in  Rush  Medical  College.  At  the  latter  date  he  was  elected 
demonstrator  of  anatomy  and  lecturer  on  this  subject  in  the  spring  course 
of  that  institution.  He  held  these  positions  for  ten  years. 

He  was  an  active  member  of  the  American  Medical  Association  and  the 
Chicago  Medical  and  Illinois  State  Medical  societies.  He  died  March  16, 
1900. 

CHARLES     H.     VILAS 
(1846-1920) 

Dr.  Charles  H.  Vilas,  one  of  the  most  distinguished  sons  of  Hahnemann 
Medical  College,  was  of  New  England  ancestry.  He  was  born  in  Chelsea, 
Vermont,  July  22,  1846.  His  father,  Levi  Vilas,  was  a  citizen  of  renown  in 
Madison,  Wisconsin  during  and  long  after  the  days  of  the  rebellion. 

Dr.  Vilas  was  five  years  old  when  his  family  moved  to  Madison.  Here 
he  obtained  his  education,  graduating  from  the  University  of  Wisconsin  in 
1865  at  the  age  of  nineteen.  He  was  a  member  of  the  Phi  Beta  Kappa  scholar- 
ship fraternity  and  in  1868  was  accorded  the  degree  of  Master  of  Arts. 

One  year  after  his  graduation  he  began  the  study  of  medicine  in  the 
office  of  Dr.  L.  S.  Ingram  of  Madison,  continuing  his  studies  at  Hahnemann 
Medical  College  of  Chicago.  He  received  his  degree  from  that  institution 
in  1873,  completing  his  education  in  Bellevue  Hospital,  New  York. 

He  accepted  the  first  professorship  in  ophthalmology  and  otology  in  Hahne- 
mann Medical  College  in  1876  and  continued  in  this  work  for  a  quarter  of 
a  century. 

Later  he  was  elected  dean  of  the  faculty  and  after  the  death  of  Dr.  Reuben 
Ludlam,  was  chosen  president  of  the  college.  He  continued  in  that  capacity 
until  his  voluntary  retirement.  He  was  then  made  president  emeritus  and 
held  that  position  until  the  time  of  his  death. 

During  the  course  of  his  active  professional  work,  he  made  frequent  trips 
to  European  centers  in  quest  of  scientific  knowledge  and  attended  the  medi- 
cal congresses  at  Paris,  London  and  Moscow  between  1876  and  1895. 

After  twenty-five  years  of  practice,  Dr.  Vilas  satisfied  a  long-cherished 
wish  to  visit  foreign  countries.  He  traveled  in  China,  Japan.  India  and  in 
Northern  Africa. 

Upon  his  return,  he  made  his  home  in  Madison,  where  "he  enacted  the 
role  of  a  benevolent,  kindly,  helpful,  beloved  member  of  society,  bestowing 
time  abundantly  upon  the  university,  the  Unitarian  church  and  giving  of 
his  means  and  his  knowledge  to  hospitals  and  charities  of  all  kinds." 

For  many  years  he  was  deeply  interested  in  the  University  of  Wisconsin 
and  in  1916  he  was  appointed  by  the  Governor  of  Wisconsin  a  member  of  the

board  of  regents,  a  position  his  father  had  held  for  fifteen  years.     He  suc- 
ceeded to  the  presidency  of  the  board  and  chairmanship  of  the  executive 
committee,  which  positions  he  held  until  a  few  weeks  before  his  death. 
He  died  at  his  home,  November  22,  1920. 

CHARLES     WESLEY     PURDY 
(1846-1901) 

Distinguished  urologist  and  author  of  what  has  been  described  as  the  most 
systematic  and  practical  presentation  of  urinary  diagnostic  methods  in  the 
English  language,  Dr.  Charles  Wesley  Purdy  was  for  thirty  years  a  teacher 
and  practitioner  in  Chicago. 

Dr.  Purdy  was  born  at  Collins  Bay,  Ontario,  in  1846.  He  received  his 
academic  training  at  Victoria  College,  Coburg,  Ontario,  and  graduated  in 
medicine  from  Queen's  University,  Ontario,  in  1869.  Dr.  Purdy  came  to 
Chicago  in  1871,  shortly  after  the  great  fire.  He  is  said  to  have  been  the  first 
physician  to  open  an  office  in  the  burned  district. 

Dr.  Purdy  was  a  keen  observer  and  ardent  student  of  medicine,  his  interest 
being  mainly  devoted  to  diseases  of  the  kidneys  and  diabetes.  He  published 
three  notable  books  on  these  subjects.  Dr.  Purdy  was  for  several  years 
professor  of  genito-urinary  and  renal  diseases  in  the  Chicago  Policlinic  and 
from  1895  to  1898  professor  of  medicine  (urinary  diseases)  in  the  Chicago 
Postgraduate  Medical  School.  In  1888  he  was  elected  Fellow  of  the  Royal 
College  of  Physicians  and  Surgeons,  Ontario,  and  in  1897  was  honored  with 
the  degree  of  Doctor  of  Laws  from  Queen's  University. 

From  1880  until  his  death  Dr.  Purdy  was  a  member  of  the  Chicago  Medical 
Society.  He  was  also  a  member  of  the  American  Medical  Association,  Asso- 
ciation of  American  Physicians,  Chicago  Academy  of  Sciences,  Illinois  Micro- 
scopical Society,  British  Medical  Association,  Illinois  State  Medical  Society, 
and  the  Chicago  Society  of  Internal  Medicine. 

In  1887  he  married  Miss  Florence  Hoffman  of  Oak  Park,  111.  There  was 
one  son,  Wesley  Purdy.  Dr.  Purdy  died  of  uremia,  January  20,  1901. 

"Dr.  Purdy,"  says  Dr.  Arthur  R.  Elliott,  "was  a  notable  member  of  the 
small  coterie  of  men,  the  strong  originality  and  authority  of  whose  work  first 
drew  the  attention  of  the  medical  world  to  Chicago  as  a  medical  center.  He 
was  a  careful  and  original  observer,  contributing  many  interesting  articles 
on  urinary  diseases  to  current  medical  literature.  His  book  on  'Bright's 
Disease  and  Allied  Affections  of  the  Kidneys'  appeared  in  1886,  being  pub- 
lished by  H.  K.  Lewis,  London.  It  proved  a  notable  contribution  to  the 
literature  of  that  subject.  In  1890  there  followed  his  'Diabetes:  Its  Causes, 
Symptoms  and  Treatment,'  the  book  being  inscribed  to  his  former  teacher  in 
clinical  medicine,  Thomas  Grainger  Stewart,  professor  of  physic  and  of 
clinical  medicine,  University  of  Edinburgh. 

"In  1894  appeared  his  last  medical  treatise,  'Practical  Urinalysis  and  Uri- 
nary Diagnosis.'  This  proved  to  be  the  most  systematic  and  practical  presen- 
tation of  urinary  diagnostic  methods  in  the  English  language  and  it  remained 
for  many  years  an  approved  authority  and  textbook  on  the  subject.  It\ran 
through  several  editions  and  at  the  time  of  Dr.  Purdy 's  death  its  popularity 
was  still  unimpaired.  In  recent  years  this  excellent  book  and  similar  treatises 
on  special  branches  of  clinical  diagnosis  have  been  displaced  by  more  com- 
prehensive and  inclusive  general  textbooks  on  laboratory  methods. 

"It  stands  to  Dr.  Purdy's  credit  that  he  devised  many  methods  which 
greatly  facilitated  urinary  diagnosis.  It  is  due  to  him  that  volumetric 


138  HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO 

centrifugal  estimation  of  urinary  solids  was  rendered  available  for  clinical 
purposes,  and  Purdy's  test  for  the  detection  and  quantitation  of  sugar  in  the 
urine  is  still  extensively  employed. 

"Dr.  Purdy  was  a  man  and  physician  of  the  type  that  maintains  the  tradi- 
tional dignity  of  the  medical  profession.  Reserved,  but  sympathetic  and 
gracious  to  his  patients,  he  possessed  a  keen  sense  of  humor  and  was  a 
delightful  companion  to  his  intimates.  His  most  salient  characteristic  was  an 
honest  uprightness  of  purpose  and  judgment." 

WILLIAM     H.     WOODYATT 
(1846-1880) 

Dr.  William  H.  Woodyatt  was  born  in  1846  at  Brantford,  Ontario.  In  his 
thirteenth  year  the  state  of  his  family's  finances  necessitated  his  leaving 
school  and  beginning  to  earn  his  own  living.  He  did  this  continuously  from 
that  early  time  and  never  received  financial  aid.  At  sixteen  years  of  age  he 
entered  the  office  of  the  Montreal  Telegraph  Company  and  at  nineteen  he 
became  manager  of  the  King  Avenue  office  of  the  company. 

Being  determined  to  study  medicine,  he  prepared  for  entrance  to  the 
Cleveland  Hospital  College,  studying  with  Dr.  H.  C.  Allen  in  Brantford.  In 
1869  he  was  graduated  with  honors,  being  class  valedictorian.  In  order  to 
continue  the  study  of  his  chosen  specialty  of  eye  and  ear,  he  then  spent  two 
years  in  New  York  attending  the  clinics  of  the  New  York  Ophthalmic  Hos- 
pital and  assisting  the  elder  Dr.  Knapp  at  Manhattan  Hospital.  To  support 
himself  he  worked  at  night  in  the  office  of  the  Associated  Press,  becoming 
known  as  one  of  the  two  most  expert  telegraphers  in  the  United  States. 

In  1871  he  opened  an  office  in  Chicago  and  was  appointed  lecturer  upon 
ophthalmology  and  otology  in  Hahnemann  College,  where  he  was  elected 
professor  the  following  year. 

In  1876,  before  the  opening  of  the  new  Chicago  Homeopathic  College,  he 
resigned  from  Hahnemann  to  accept  the  chair  of  ophthalmology  and  otology 
in  this  institution.  He  remained  working  in  this  college,  holding  large 
clinics  and  teaching,  in  addition  to  meeting  the  exacting  demands  of  his 
private  practice,  until  his  death  from  malignant  diphtheria  in  1880. 

In  1873  he  married  Miss  Clara  Burnham  of  Chicago,  who,  with  two  sons, 
Ernest  and  Rollin  Turner  Woodyatt,  survive  him.  The  latter  son  is  a  Chi- 
cago physician. 

NICHOLAS     B.     DELAMATER 

(1847-1915) 

Of  Revolutionary  ancestry,  Dr.  Nicholas  B.  Delamater,  neurologist  and 
one  of  the  founders  of  the  Chicago  Homeopathic  Medical  College,  was  him- 
self an  ardent  patriot. 

Born  in  Albany  County,  New  York,  February  21,  1847,  he  was  a  student 
at  Harvard  University  when  he  was  impelled,  in  1863,  to  join  the  Seventeenth 
United  States  Infantry.  He  continued  in  active  service  until  the  close  of  the 
war,  participating  in  the  battle  of  Gettysburg  and  the  campaign  of  the  Wilder- 
ness. He  was  wounded  at  the  battle  of  Fair  Oaks. 

At  the  conclusion  of  hostilities,  having  been  promoted  to  the  rank  of  Major, 
Dr.  Delamater  engaged  for  three  years  in  the  dry  goods  trade  at  Richmond, 
Indiana. 

After  these  years  of  army  service  and  business  life  he  engaged  in  farming 


HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO  139 

and  taught  school.  Then  he  entered  Hahnemann  Medical  College,  graduating 
from  that  institution  in  1873.  Subsequently  he  received  the  degree  of  A.  M. 
from  Harvard  University. 

He  first  established  himself  in  practice  in  Chicago,  beginning  his  profes- 
sional career  as  a  junior  partner  of  the  late  Dr.  E.  M.  Hale.  In  1874  he  was 
appointed  lecturer  on  medical  botany,  pharmacology  and  provings  at  Hahne- 
mann. In  1876  he  was  appointed  special  lecturer  on  electro-therapeutics  in 
the  same  college.  In  the  same  year  Dr.  Delamater  was  one  of  the  organizers 
of  the  Chicago  Homeopathic  Medical  College.  He  was  chosen  its  first  lec- 
turer on  mental  and  nervous  diseases.  In  1881  he  was  elected  to  the  full 
professorship.  For  some  years  he  was  also  manager  of  the  college.  Later 
he  became  secretary  of  the  institution. 

After  the  amalgamation  of  Hahnemann  Medical  College  and  Chicago 
Homeopathic  Medical  College  in  1905  he  occupied  the  chair  of  mental  and 
nervous  diseases  in  Hahnemann  until  1909,  when  health  failed  him  and  he 
moved  to  Sanford,  Florida,  where  he  remained  until  1914. 

He  was  attending  neurologist  at  the  Chicago  Homeopathic  Hospital,  con- 
sulting neurologist  of  the  Chicago  Baptist  Hospital  and  attending  neurologist 
at  the  Streeter  Hospital.  He  was  a  member  of  the  American  Institute  of 
Homeopathy,  the  Illinois  State  Homeopathic  Association,  the  Chicago  Acad- 
emy of  Homeopathy  and  other  professional,  social  and  fraternal  organiza- 
tions. 

He  married  Miss  Ella  J.  Link  of  Woodstock,  Illinois,  November  3,  1870. 
Mrs.  Delamater  was  a  member  of  the  board  of  managers  of  the  Chicago 
Orphan  Asylum.  She  survived  him  upon  his  death  March  11,  1915. 

ALFRED  CLEVELAND  COTTON 
(1847-1916) 

Combat  soldier  in  the  civil  war,  graduate  of  Rush  Medical  College  and 
professor  in  that  institution,  Dr.  Alfred  Cleveland  Cotton  was  for  nearly 
forty  years  prominent  in  the  professional  life  of  Chicago.  In  1908-9  he  was 
president  of  the  Chicago  Medical  Society. 

Dr.  Cotton  was  born  at  Griggsville,  111.,  May  18,  1847.  When  sixteen  years 
old  he  enlisted  in  the  One  Hundred  and  Thirty-seventh  Illinois  Volunteers. 
Having  been  wounded,  he  was  captured  and  sent  to  a  southern  prison,  where 
he  remained  for  several  months. 

Dr.  Cotton  was  graduated  from  the  Illinois  State  Normal  School  in  1869. 
In  1873  he  was  deputy  superintendent  of  schools  of  Iroquois  County  and  a 
medical  student  under  Dr.  J.  R.  Stoner  of  Griggsville.  Five  years  later  Dr. 
Cotton  was  graduated  from  Rush  Medical  College. 

His  first  practice  was  at  Turner,  DuPage  County,  where  he  was  coroner 
from  1878  to  1881.  In  1882  Dr.  Cotton  began  the  practice  of  medicine  in 
Chicago,  where  he  specialized  in  the  diseases  of  children.  In  1886  he  received 
the  degree  of  Master  of  Arts  from  Illinois  College  and  in  1888  he  was  made 
adjunct  professor  of  materia  medica  and  therapeutics  in  Rush  Medical  College. 

Upon  the  death  of  Dr.  J.  Suydam  Knox,  Dr.  Cotton  was  appointed  to 
succeed  him  in  the  chair  of  pediatrics.  Later  the  chair  of  diseases  of  children 
was  created  for  him  and  he  held  this  position  until  his  death.  Dr.  Cotton  for 
many  years  was  attending  and  consulting  physician  to  the  Central  Free 
Dispensary  and  the  Presbyterian  Hospital.  In  the  latter  he  was  also  obste- 
trician. He  was  lecturer  to  the  Illinois  Training  School  for  Nurses

for  several  terms.  He  was  attending  physician  at  St.  Mary's  Home  for 
Babies,  superintendent  of  the  Jackson  Park  Sanitarium  and  consultant  to  the 
Children's  Memorial  Hospital. 

He  was  a  delegate  to  the  International  Medical  Congress  at  Moscow 
in  1897,  at  Madrid  in  1903  and  at  London  in  1913.  He  was  a  frequent  con- 
tributor to  medical  literature  and  author  of  several  text  books.  Among  his 
writings  were  "Diseases  of  Children,"  "Anatomy,  Physiology  and  Hygiene  of 
the  Developing  Period,"  and  "Care  of  the  Infant." 

In  addition  to  being  elected  to  the  presidency  of  the  Chicago  Medical 
Society,  Dr.  Cotton  served  as  president  of  the  Illinois  State  Medical  Society, 
the  American  Pediatric  Society,  the  Chicago  Pediatric  Society  and  the  Chi- 
cago Medical  Examiners'  Association. 

Dr.  Cotton  married  Miss  Nettie  U.  McDonald,  May  2,  1893.  He  died  July 
12,  1916.  Two  children,  John  R.  and  Mildred  C.  Cotton,  survived  him. 

FERNAND     HENROTIN 
(1847-1906) 

Henrotin  Hospital  perpetuates  the  memory  of  Dr.  Fernand  Henrotin,  some- 
time president  of  the  Chicago  Medical  Society  and  for  thirty-eight  years  a 
conspicuous  figure  in  the  professional  life  of  Chicago. 

Dr.  Henrotin  was  born  in  Brussels,  Belgium,  September  28,  1847.  His 
father,  Joseph  F.  Henrotin,  M.  D.,  was  a  graduate  of  the  University  of  Liege 
and  surgeon  in  the  Belgian  Army  until  1848,  when  he  came  to  Chicago  and 
began  the  practice  of  medicine.  In  1857  he  became  Belgian  Consul,  a  position 
which  he  held  until  his  death  in  1876. 

Dr.  Fernand  Henrotin  was  graduated  from  Rush  Medical  College  in  1868 
and  until  1870  he  was  an  instructor  in  that  institution.  From  1877  to  1878  he 
was  county  physician.  He  was  surgeon  of  the  police  department  for  fifteen 
years  and  of  the  fire  department  for  twenty-one  years.  He  was  also  surgeon 
of  the  First  Brigade,  Illinois  N.ational  Guard,  attending  surgeon  at  Alexian 
Brothers  Hospital,  and  for  many  years  a  member  of  the  staff  of  the  Cook 
County  Hospital,  being  president  of  the  medical  board  at  the  time  of  his 
death. 

Dr.  Henrotin  was  one  of  the  founders  of  the  Chicago  Policlinic,  where  he 
served  as  professor  of  gynecology  from  the  beginning  until  his  death,  con- 
sulting gynecologist  at  St.  Joseph's  Hospital,  attending  gynecologist  at  St. 
Luke's  and  the  German  hospitals  and  consulting  surgeon  at  St.  Mary's  Ma- 
ternity Home.  He  was  a  member  of  the  American  Medical  Association  and 
the  Illinois  State  and  Chicago 'Medical  societies,  being  vice-president  of  the 
last-named  in  1896  and  president  in  1897. 

Another  position  held  by  him  was  that  of  Secretary  General  for  America 
of  the  International  Gynecological  and  Obstetrical  Congress.  He  was  also 
one  of  the  founders  of  the  Association  of  Military  Surgeons  of  Illinois,  and 
never  lost  sight  of  the  interests  of  military  medical  affairs  in  this  state. 

His  special  leaning  was  to  operative  gynecology,  and  all  of  his  scientific 
literary  productions  pertain  to  this  branch  of  surgery.  He  was  a  frequent 
contributor  to  medical  journals  and  the  author  of  several  medical  works. 
Among  his  writings  were  a  chapter  on  ectopic  gestation  in  "Practice  of  Ob- 
stetrics, by  American  Authors,"  and  an  article  on  gynecology  in  the  "Interna- 
tional Text-Book  of  Surgery."  On  his  deathbed  he  virtually  completed  the 
chapter  on  vaginal  hysterectomy  for  Kelly  and  Noble's  "Gynecology  and 
Abdominal  Surgery." 


142  HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO 

On  April  24,  1873,  Dr.  Henrotin  married  Miss  Emile  B.  Trussing  of  Chi- 
cago. He  died  in  Chicago  December  9,  1906.  The  following  year,  to  preserve 
his  memory,  his  name  was  conferred  upon  the  hospital  he  had  helped  to 
establish  at  939  North  LaSalle  Street. 

ALBERT     EDWARD     HOADLEY 
(1847-1899) 

A  member  of  the  first  staff  of  the  College  of  Physicians  and  Surgeons  of 
Chicago  and  president  of  the  Chicago  Medical  Society  in  1889-90,  Dr.  Albert 
Edward  Hoadley  traversed  a  wide  range  of  activities  during  his  career  in 
Chicago. 

Dr.  Hoadley  was  born  in  Chenango  County,  N.  Y.,  November  19,  1847. 
His  parents  removed  to  Illinois  and  settled  near  Elgin  in  1860.  They  later 
proceeded  to  Amboy,  111.,  where  he  attended  high  school  and  began  his 
medical  studies  under  Dr.  J.  R.  Corbus  and  Dr.  Stewart  C.  Pitcher.  He 
was  graduated  from  the  Chicago  Medical  College  in  1872.  During  the  next 
ten  years  he  engaged  in  general  practice. 

In  1882,  when  the  College  of  Physicians  and  Surgeons  of  Chicago  was 
opened,  Dr.  Hoadley  joined  the  faculty  as  professor  of  anatomy.  In  1888 
he  became  professor  of  orthopedic  surgery,  the  title  being  changed  in  1891 
to  professor  of  orthopedic  surgery,  surgical  diseases  of  the  joints  and  clinical 
surgery.  In  the  latter  year  Dr.  Hoadley  was  elected  to  the  presidency  of  the 
West  Side  Free  Dispensary.  In  1893  he  was  elected  vice-president  of  the 
College  of  Physicians  and  Surgeons. 

Dr.  Hoadley  was  also  a  director  of  the  Policlinic  Hospital  and  a  director 
and  surgeon  of  the  Home  for  Crippled  Children,  surgeon  to  the  Cook  County 
Hospital  and  to  the  Railroad  Brotherhood  Hospital. 

He  was  a  member  of  the  Chicago  Pathological  Society,  the  Medico-Legal 
Society,  the  Practitioners'  Club,  the  American  Orthopedic  Association,  the 
American  Public  Health  Association,  the  American  Medical  Association  and 
the  Illinois  State  and  Chicago  Medical  societies. 

In  1862  he  retired  from  general  practice  and  devoted  himself  exclusively 
to  surgery  and  orthopedics.  He  died  January  16,  1899. 

JOHN     BROWN     HAMILTON 
(1847-1898) 

Sometime  head  of  the  Marine  Hospital  Service,  Dr.  John  B.  Hamilton  was 
a  sanitarian  of  international  reputation. 

Of  his  devotion  to  the  public  health,  United  States  Senator  Spooner  said  in 
the  upper  house  of  Congress :  "When  Florida  was  stricken  with  yellow  fever 
Dr.  Hamilton  did  not  choose  to  be  a  mere  bureau  officer.  He  was  my  neigh- 
bor at  that  time  and,  to  my  knowledge,  he  left  his  home  and  his  family,  went 
south  and  stayed  there  in  daily  contact  with  this  epidemic,  physicians  dying 
around  him,  giving  personal  attention  to  the  duties  of  his  office." 

Dr.  Hamilton  was  born  in  Jersey  County,  Illinois,  December  1,  1847.  He 
was  graduated  from  Rush  Medical  College  in  1869  and  practiced  medicine  in 
Chicago  until  1874.  By  competitive  examination  he  entered  the  army  that 
year  as  assistant  surgeon,  serving  until  1876,  when  he  resigned.  Again  by 
competitive  examination  he  entered  the  Marine  Hospital  Service,  in  which  he 
rose  to  the  rank  of  Supervising  Surgeon  General.  In  this  department  he  won 
renown  as  a  sanitarian  of  the  first  rank.  His  activity  in  combating  yellow

fever,  small  pox  and  leprosy  gained  for  him  praise  not  only  in  this  country, 
but  in  Europe. 

Dr.  Hamilton  drafted  the  inter-state  quarantine  law  which  was  passed  in 
1890. 

While  head  of  the  Marine  Hospital  Service  with  station  in  Washington, 
Dr.  Hamilton  was  surgeon  to  Providence  Hospital  and  was  professor  of  sur- 
gery in  Georgetown  University,  which  institution  conferred  upon  him  the 
degree  of  Doctor  of  Laws. 

In  1887  Dr.  Hamilton  was  secretary-general  of  the  International  Medical 
Congress  in  Washington,  and  in  1890  was  a  delegate  to  the  International 
Medical  Congress  held  in  London. 

Dr.  Hamilton  resigned  as  Supervising  Surgeon  General  of  the  Marine 
Service  in  1891  over  a  question  of  salary.  However,  he  re-entered  the  or- 
ganization as  surgeon  and  was  assigned  to  duty  at  Chicago.  Here  he  was 
made  professor  of  the  principles  and  practice  of  surgery  and  clinical  surgery 
in  Rush  Medical  College.  He  was  also  surgeon  to  the  Presbyterian  Hospital, 
professor  of  surgery  in  the  Chicago  Policlinic,  Consulting  Surgeon  to  St. 
Joseph's  Hospital  and  the  Central  Free  Dispensary. 

In  1893  Dr.  Hamilton  became  editor  of  the  Journal  of  the  American  Medical 
Association,  holding  this  position  for  four  years.  Shortly  before  his  death  he 
was  appointed  superintendent  of  the  Illinois  Northern  Hospital  for  the  Insane 
at  Elgin.  He  died  at  Elgin,  December  24,  1898. 

HENRY     BANGA 
(1848-1913) 

Pioneer  in  asepsis  and  antisepsis,  Dr.  Henry  Banga  was  for  more  than 
thirty  years  professor  of  gynecology  in  the  Chicago  Policlinic  and  for  an 
equal  period  was  gynecologist  to  Michael  Reese  Hospital  and  attending 
physician  at  the  United  Hebrew  Dispensary. 

He  was  born  at  Leistal,  Switzerland,  February  14,  1848.  His  father  occu- 
pied the  highest  executive  office  in  the  government  of  the  canton  of  Baselland. 
The  elder  Banga  was  a  distinguished  scientist  and  was  the  author  of  the 
constitution  of  his  canton,  as  well  as  the  school  laws  of  the  district. 

After  graduation  from  the  college  in  Basel,  the  younger  Banga  entered  the 
University  of  Basel  as  a  student  of  medicine.  There  he  came  under  the 
influence  of  Prof.  His,  who  was  then  conducting  his  well-known  investiga- 
tions in  embryology. 

Dr.  Banga's  graduation  from  the  University  of  Basel  in  1871  was  preceded 
by  his  service  as  a  volunteer  surgeon  in  the  German  Army  during  the  war 
with  France  in  1870.  After  graduation  he  became  an  assistant  of  Prof. 
Bischoff  in  the  gynecological  clinic.  His  inclination  toward  surgery  soon 
led  him,  however,  to  the  surgical  clinic  of  Prof.  Socin. 

In  1875  he  came  to  Chicago,  where  his  success  was  due  to  three  features: 
his  experience  in  antisepsis,  his  exceptional  training  as  a  surgeon  and  gyne- 
cologist, and  his  character  and  appearance.  True  to  the  education  he  received 
in  his  youth,  Dr.  Banga  was  an  accurate  observer  and,  therefore,  a  fine 
diagnostician.  He  was  a  pioneer  and  far  ahead  of  his  time.  For  example, 
he  recognized  and  operated  upon  extrauterine  pregnancies  as  early  as  1889. 

Dr.  Banga  was  one  of  the  organizers  of  the  Chicago  Policlinic  and  with 
Dr.  Ernst  Schmidt  helped  to  organize  the  staff  of  Michael  Reese  Hospital. 
While  serving  at  the  hospital,  his  treatment  of  a  case  became  of  great  impor- 
tance in  the  development  of  antisepsis.  A  man  was  brought  in  suffering  from

an  open  fracture  and  luxation  of  the  elbow,  into  which  street  dirt  had  been 
rubbed.  Dr.  Banga  washed  out  the  wound,  filled  it  with  carbolated  oil  and 
closed  it,  the  patient  later  being  discharged  with  a  normal  functioning  elbow. 
At  that  time  the  indication  would  have  been  exarticulation  in  the  shoulder. 
Dr..  Banga  never  married.  A  sister,  Emilie,  kept  house  for  him  in  North 
LaSalle  Street  from  1875  until  his  death.  This  occurred  suddenly,  December 
24,  1913,  while  attending  an  obstetrical  case. 

EPHRAIM  FLETCHER  INGALS 
(1848-1918) 

Dr.  E.  Fletcher  Ingals'  fervent  devotion  to  the  cause  of  medical  education 
was  exemplified  during  his  own  last  illness.  While  lying  in  bed,  a  victim 
of  angina  pectoris,  he  made  minute  observations  of  the  ailment,  which 
formed  the  basis  of  a  monograph  read  at  a  meeting  of  the  Institute  of 
Medicine  of  Chicago,  March  28,  1918.  He  died  in  a  paroxysm  of  angina  a 
month  later,  having  utilized  his  own  suffering  for  the  benefit  of  humanity. 

A  leading  laryngologist  in  the  city,  he  will  be  especially  remembered  as 
an  untiring  and  successful  advocate  of  the  affiliation  of  Rush  Medical  Col- 
lege with  the  University  of  Chicago. 

Dr.  Ingals  was  born  at  Lee  Center,  Lee  County,  Illinois,  September  29, 
1848.  After  receiving  an  academic  education  he  came  to  Chicago  to  live 
with  his  uncle,  Dr.  Ephraim  Ingals,  professor  of  materia  medica  and  thera- 
peutics at  Rush  Medical  College.  From  this  institution  the  younger  Ingals 
was  graduated  in  1871. 

Assistant  professor  of  materia  medica  in  Rush  Medical  College  from 
1871  to  1873,  he  became  lecturer  on  diseases  of  the  chest  and  physical  diag- 
nosis in  1874.  From  1883  to  1890  he  was  professor  of  laryngology  and  pro- 
fessor of  the  practice  of  medicine  from  1890  to  1893.  Under  various  but 
similar  titles  he  continued  his  work  at  Rush  until  his  death,  being  also 
comptroller  after  1898. 

Dr.  Ingals  was  professor  of  diseases  of  the  throat  and  chest  in  the  North- 
western University  Woman's  Medical  School,  1879  to  1898,  professor  of 
laryngology  and  rhinology  in  the  Chicago  Policlinic  after  1890,  and  from 
1901  lecturer  on  medicine  in  the  University  of  Chicago. 

In  connection  with  a  large  private  and  hospital  practice,  Dr.  Ingals  was 
also  an  active  and  influential  member  of  many  of  the  most  important  medical 
societies.  He  was  a  charter  member  of  the  American  Laryngological  Asso- 
ciation in  1878  and  its  president  in  1887.  He  was  also  a  charter  member  and 
president  of  the  American  Climatological  Association,  as  well  as  a  member 
of  the  American  Laryngological,  Rhinological  and  Otological  Society,  and 
chairman  of  the  section  on  laryngology  of  the  Pan-American  Congress  in 
1883.  In  1899  Dr.  Ingals  organized  the  Chicago  Laryngological  and  Clima- 
tological Society,  now  the  Chicago  Laryngological  and  Otological  Society, 
and  was  its  first  president.  He  was  also  active  in  the  organization  of  the 
Institute  of  Medicine  of  Chicago.  He  was  for  many  years  a  delegate  to  the 
International  Medical  Congress. 

Dr.  Ingals'  largest  literary  production  was  his  work  on  "Diseases  of  the 
Chest,  Throat  and  Nasal  Cavities."  This  ran  into  several  editions.  His 
medical  papers,  about  150  in  all,  appeared  in  various  journals.  Many  of  the 
important  articles  on  his  special  work  are  contained  in  the  transactions  of 
the  American  Laryngological  Association. 


146  HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO 

Considerable  clinical  study  was  given  by  Dr.  Ingals  to  bronchoscopy,  for 
which  he  devised  or  modified  many  instruments.  Even  more  attention  was 
given  to  an  operation  for  intranasal  drainage  of  the  frontal  sinuses,  on  which 
he  presented  a  number  of  papers  to  show  the  correctness  of  his  point  of 
view. 

It  was  Dr.  Ingals  who  was  most  active  in  promoting  the  affiliation  of 
Rush  Medical  College  with  the  University  of  Chicago,  and  it  was  he  who 
personally  persuaded  Dr.  William  Rainey  Harper  of  the  desirability  of  the 
move. 

In  1876  he  married  Lucy  S.,  daughter  of  Dr.  Ephraim  Ingals,  his  uncle. 
There  were  seven  children,  four  of  whom,  with  their  mother,  survived  him. 
They  are  Francis  E.,  Melissa  R.,  Mary  G.  and  E.  Fletcher  Ingals,  Jr. 

Dr.  Ingals  died  April  30,  1918. 

MARCUS     PATTEN     HATFIELD 
(1849-1909) 

One  of  the  founders  of  Wesley  Hospital,  Dr.  Marcus  Patten  Hatfield  was 
a  graduate  of  the  Chicago  Medical  College  and  a  post-graduate  student  in  the 
hospitals  of  Berlin,  Vienna,  Zurich  and  London. 

He  was  born  in  New  York  City,  February  20,  1849.  He  matriculated  at  the 
old  University  of  Chicago,  but  completed  his  academic  course  at  Wesleyan 
University,  from  which  he  later  received  the  degree  of  Master  of  Arts. 

Graduating  from  the  Chicago  Medical  College  in  1872,  Dr.  Hatfield  became 
an  interne  at  Mercy  Hospital  and  during  1873  he  did  post-graduate  work  in 
German,  Austrian,  Swiss  and  English  hospitals. 

From  1875  to  1881  Dr.  Hatfield  was  professor  of  chemistry  and,  from  1881 
to  1896,  professor  of  diseases  of  children  in  the  Chicago  Medical  College. 
Later  he  was  professor  of  pediatrics  in  the  College  of  Physicans  and  Surgeons 
of  Chicago. 

Dr.  Hatfield  helped  to  organize  Wesley  Hospital  and,  until  the  time  of  his 
death,  he  was  a  member  of  its  executive  committee.  He  was  assistant  editor 
of  "Archives  of  Pediatrics,"  a  member  of  the  American  Medical  Association, 
the  American  Academy  of  Medicine  and  a  member  of  the  section  on  diseases 
of  children  at  the  Ninth  International  Medical  Congress. 

Dr.  Hatfield  was  the  author  of  "Practical  Urinalysis,"  "The  Physiology  and 
Hygiene  of  the  House  in  Which  We  Live,"  "Compendium  of  the  Diseases  of 
Children"  and  other  works. 

In  1876  Dr.  Hatfield  married  Miss  Harriet  Harris,  daughter  of  Bishop  Wil- 
liam L.  Harris  of  the  Methodist  Episcopal  Church.  He  died  in  Chicago, 
November  11,  1909. 

DAVID    JOSEPH     DOHERTY 
(1850-1908) 

"Dr.  Doherty,  Deutscher  Arzt." 

This  was  the  sign  that  hung  for  years  at  North  Avenue  and  Dayton  Street, 
in  the  heart  of  the  German-American  district.  It  expressed  the  humor  and 
cosmopolitanism  of  Dr.  David  Joseph  Doherty,  of  Irish  origin,  who  was  an 
accomplished  linguist  and  particularly  adept  in  German.  For  many  years 
he  practiced  among  his  Teuton  neighbors,  counselling  them  in  their  own 
tongue. 

Dr.  Doherty  was  born  in  St.  Louis,  Mo.,  April  25,  1850.  His  parents 
destined  him  for  the  priesthood,  but  instead  he  studied  medicine  and  was

graduated  from  the  University  of  Minnesota  in  1887  and  from  the  University 
of  Freiburg,  Germany,  in  1888. 

Upon  his  return  from  Germany,  he  began  his  practice  in  North  Avenue. 
He  was  also  medical  examiner  for  a  large  life  insurance  company. 

Becoming  interested  in  the  Philippine  Islands,  he  visited  the  archipelago 
three  times  and,  while  there,  learned  Tagalog,  the  principal  dialect  of 
the  islands,  adding  this  to  his  knowledge  of  English,  German,  French,  Italian 
and  Spanish.  His  linguistic  research  was  so  thorough  that  he  compiled  an 
English-Tagalog  grammar  and  a  dictionary. 

Infant  mortality  in  the  city  of  Manila  being  between  60  and  70  per  cent 
during  one  of  his  visits,  he  spent  $10,000  of  his  own  money  and  that  of  his 
friends  in  the  establishment  of  a  station  where  fresh  milk  was  dispensed  and 
where  instructions  in  baby  feeding  were  given. 

Dr.  Doherty  was  associate  professor  of  gynecology  in  the  Chicago  Poli- 
clinic and  was  associated  with  that  institution  for  twenty  years.  He  was  an 
active  member  of  the  Chicago  Medical  Society,  first  as  necrologist  and  later 
as  secretary  and  treasurer.  He  compiled  the  first  history  of  the  society  from 
its  archives.  During  the  time  that  the  society  held  its  meetings  in  the  Chicago 
Public  Library,  he  organized  free  weekly  lectures  on  medical  subjects  and 
obtained  many  of  the  best  speakers.  He  was  also  instrumental  in  effecting 
the  transfer  of  the  Senn  medical  library  from  the  Newberry  Library  to  the 
John  Crerar  Library. 

Besides  being  a  member  of  many  professional  organizations,  Dr.  Doherty 
was  interested  in  the  American  Oriental  Society,  the  American  Anthro- 
pological Association  and  the  Modern  Language  Association. 

He  died  in  Chicago,  October  27,  1908. 

FREDERICK     CHRISTIAN     SCHAEFER 
(1850-1904) 

From  typesetter  to  post  graduate  student  in  the  hospitals  of  London, 
Berlin  and  Vienna,  Dr.  Frederick  Christian  Schaefer  played  a  distinguished 
role  as  a  teacher  and  practitioner  in  Chicago  for  many  years. 

He  was  born  in  Galena,  Illinois,  May  26,  1850.  He  attended  the  public 
schools  of  Galena  and  for  two  years  worked  for  the  Galena  Advertiser  as  a 
typesetter.  At  the  age  of  eighteen  he  started  a  job  printing  business  in 
Chicago,  which  he  was  compelled  to  abandon  on  account  of  ill  health. 

Removing  to  California,  he  became  a  teacher  in  Alameda  County,  and 
began  the  study  of  medicine  at  the  University  of  the  Pacific.  Returning  to 
Chicago  in  1874,  he  entered  the  office  of  Dr.  Ralph  N.  Isham.  and  attended 
the  Chicago  Medical  College,  being  graduated  from  that  institution  in  1876. 
In  1882  he  became  professor  of  anatomy  in  Northwestern  University  Medical 
School.  In  1884  he  was  appointed  gynecologist  and  advisory  surgeon  to 
Cook  County  Hospital.  In  1885  he  became  senior  surgeon  of  the  Illinois 
Charitable  Eye  and  Ear  Infirmary.  From  1890  to  1896  he  was  surgeon  to 
\Yesley  Hospital.  In  the  Woman's  Medical  College  he  filled  the  chair  of 
surgery  for  a  number  of  years.  He  was  also  professor  of  surgery  in  the 
Post  Graduate  Medical  School  and  surgeon  of  the  Post  Graduate  and  Charity 
Hospitals. 

Other  positions  held  by  Dr.  Schaefer  were  surgeon  to  the  Chicago  Hospital, 
consulting  surgeon  to  Mary  Thompson  Hospital,  surgeon-in-chief  of  St. 
Hedwig's  Hospital  and  gynecologist  to  St.  Elizabeth's  Hospital.

and  Vienna. 

He  died  June  2,  1904. 

BYRON     C.     STOLP 
(1851-1917) 

Dr.  Byron  C.  Stolp,  well  known  physician  and  useful  citizen,  was  born  in 
Empire,  Whiteside  County,  Illinois,  January  27,  1851.  His  early  years  were 
spent  in  farming  and  in  the  woolen  business,  his  father  owning  a  water-power 
woolen  mill  on  the  Fox  River. 

Dr.  Stolp  was  graduated  from  Bennett  Medical  College  and  began  the 
practice  of  medicine  in  Indiana,  where  he  remained  for  fifteen  months.  On 
June  25,  1874,  he  moved  from  Indiana  to  Wilmette,  Illinois,  where  he  prac- 
ticed medicine  until  his  death,  November  2,  1917. 

He  was  a  member  of  the  Chicago  Medical  Society,  the  Illinois  State  Medi- 
cal Society,  the  American  Medical  Association  and  the  Wilmette  Physicians' 
Club,  of  which  he  was  at  one  time  the  president.  He  served  for  many  years 
as  attending  physician  to  the  Evanston  Hospital.  He  was  active  in  many 
civic  organizations  of  Wilmette  and  served  on  the  Wilmette  board  of  edu- 
cation for  fourteen  years.  He  was  a  member  of  the  New  Trier  board  of  edu- 
cation when  the  New  Trier  High  School  was  built.  One  of  the  largest  pub- 
lic schools  in  Wilmette  has  been  named  in  his  honor.  He  was  for  many  years 
a  trustee  of  the  Methodist  church  of  Wilmette. 

He  married  Miss  Cenie  L.  Graves,  February  18,  1874.  He  was  survived  by 
his  widow  and  two  sons,  Dr.  Rufus  B.  Stolp  and  Harold  E.  Stolp,  who  has 
since  died. 

MARIE    JOSEPHA     MERGLER 
(1851-1901) 

One  of  three  leading  women  doctors  of  her  time  in  Chicago,  Dr.  Marie 
Josepha  Mergler  was  born  in  Mainstockheim,  Bavaria,  May  18,  1851.  Her 
father,  Dr.  Francis  R.  Mergler,  was  a  graduate  of  the  University  of  Wiirz- 
burg  and  her  mother  was  descended  from  an  old  German  family  of  note,  the 
Von  Rittershausens.  She  was  the  youngest  of  three  children. 

Her  parents  came  to  America  when  she  was  two  years  old  and  located  in 
Palatine,  Illinois,  where  her  father  practiced  medicine  until  his  death.  At 
seventeen  years  of  age  she  was  graduated  from  Cook  County  Normal  School 
and  one  year  later  she  entered  the  State  Normal  School  at  Oswego,  New 
York,  being,  graduated  from  the  classical  course  in  1871. 

After  teaching  in  the  Englewood  High  School  in  Chicago  for  four  years, 
she  decided  to  study  medicine  and  matriculated  in  the  Woman's  Medical 
College  of  Chicago  in  1876.  She  was  graduated  in  1879  and  was  valedictorian 
of  her  class. 

After  graduation  she  competed  successfully  with  men  graduates  for 
appointment  as  interne  at  the  Cook  County  Hospital  at. Dunning,  Illinois, 
standing  second  in  the  competitive  examination.  She  received  the  appoint- 
ment, but  was  not  allowed  to  fill  the  position  because  she  was  a  woman. 
Determined  to  obtain  hospital  experience,  she  went  to  Europe  and  studied  for 
one  year  in  Zurich,  Switzerland,  paying  particular  attention  to  pathology 
and  clinical  medicine. 

Returning  to  Chicago,  she  began  the  practice  of  medicine  in  1881. 
made    adjunct    professor    of    gynecology   to    Dr.  William  H.  Byford  in  t

Woman's  Medical  College,  and  upon  his  death  in  1890  she  became  his  suc- 
cessor as  professor  of  gynecology.  She  was  secretary  of  the  faculty  until 
1899,  when  she  became  dean.  The  college  previously  having  become  the 
Northwestern  University  Woman's  Medical  School,  she  was  appointed  dean 
by  the  trustees  of  the  university. 

In  1882  Dr.  Mergler  was  appointed  to  the  attending  staff  of  Cook  County 
Hospital,  being  one  of  the  first  two  women  to  receive  such  an  appointment. 
In  1886  she  became  one  of  the  attending  surgeons  of  the  Woman's  Hospital 
and  four  years  later  gynecologist  at  Wesley  Memorial  Hospital.  She  held 
both  of  these  positions  at  the  time  of  her  death.  In  November,  1895,  she  was 
elected  head  physician  and  surgeon  at  the  Mary  Thompson  Hospital  for 
Women  and  Children.  She  was  also  professor  of  gynecology  in  the  Post- 
Graduate  Medical  School  of  Chicago. 

She  was  a  member  of  the  American  Medical  Association  and  the  Illinois 
State  Medical  and  Chicago  Medical  societies.  She  contributed  papers  to  the 
leading  medical  journals  and  also  wrote  a  text-book  on  gynecology. 

"Dr.  Mergler  was  a  skillful  surgeon,  a  fine  diagnostician  and  a  most  excel- 
lent teacher,"  Dr.  Annie  White  Sage  writes.  "Her  influence  among  her 
colleagues  and  the  students  was  great.  The  alumnae  drew  upon  her  superior 
skill  and  knowledge  and  she  was  most  generous  and  helpful  to  the  young 
physicians." 

Her  life  was  strenuous  and  exhausting  and  brought  on  an  untimely  death, 
May  18,  1901,  on  the  fiftieth  anniversary  of  her  birth,  in  Los  Angeles, 
California. 

WALTER     F.     KNOLL 
(1851-1893) 

Dr.  Walter  F.  Knoll,  sometime  professor  at  the  Chicago  Homeopathic 
Medical  College,  a  surgeon  and  specialist  in  the  treatment  of  diseases  of 
women,  was  born  in  Stephenson  County,  Illinois,  August  24,  1851.  He  was 
educated  in  the  common  schools,  later  receiving  preparatory  training  at  the 
Freeport  Academy  and  the  Illinois  State  Normal  School.  His  normal  course 
was  equivalent  to  that  which  carries  with  it  the  degree  of  master  of  arts. 

He  entered  the  Chicago  Homeopathic  Medical  College,  class  of  1877,  grad- 
uating two  years  afterward  as  valedictorian  of  his  class.  Two  years  later  he 
went  to  New  York  where  he  spent  a  year  in  the  colleges  and  hospitals,  giving 
special  attention  to  physical  diagnosis,  surgery  and  the  diseases  of  women. 

He  first  came  to  Chicago  to  make  it  his  home  and  the  field  of  his  endeavor 
in  June,  1882.  He  was  then  appointed  to  the  chair  of  physiology  and  histology 
in  the  Chicago  Homeopathic  Medical  College,  which  he  occupied  for  five 
years.  In  1888  he  went  to  Europe  and  devoted  a  year  to  perfecting  himself 
in  surgery  and  in  the  treatment  of  diseases  of  women.  Three  years  later  he 
made  another  scholastic  pilgrimage  to  Vienna,  Berlin,  Paris  and  London. 

From  the  chair  of  physiology  and  histology  in  the  Chicago  Homeopathic 
Medical  College  he  passed  to  the  chair  of  pathology  and  minor  surgery  and 
in  1890  he  was  promoted  to  the  professorship  of  principles  and  practice  of 
surgery  and  clinical  surgery  in  the  same  college. 

He  was  at  one  time  surgeon  to  Cook  County  Hospital  and  beginning  in 
1891  he  lectured  at  the  Illinois  Training  School  for  Nurses. 

He  was  a  member  of  the  Academy  of  Medicine,  the  Illinois  Homeopathic 
Medical  Association,  the  American  Institute  of  Homeopathy  and  several  state 
and  local  societies.

On  October  5,  1879  he  married  Miss  Flora  Frey,  who  after  his  death  be 
came  the  wife  of  Dr.  Samuel  H.  Aurand  of  Chicago. 
Dr.  Knoll  died  November  23,  1893. 

EDWARD     HUT  CHINS     WEBSTER 
(1851-1916) 

"Webster,  the  doctor,  inherited  Evanston  from  Dr.  John  Fvans!  Evans 
ton  is  Webster;  Webster  is  Evanston!  Webster  made  Evanston;  Evanston 
made  Webster!  Evanston  is  the  synonym  of  culture;  culture  is  a  synonym 
of  Webster!  Town  and  man  are  one.  They  have  lived  together  for  thirty- 
five  years.  During  that  time  Webster  has  passed  upon  the  physical  and 
mental  status  of  Evanston.  By  example,  service  and  physic,  he  has  developed 
a  people  almost  as  good  as  himself.  He  is  owner  of  Evanston,  not  by  'bossism' 
but  by  parental  right.  Evanston  owes  Webster  everything;  she  knows  it 
and  loves  him  accordingly." 

So  said  Dr.  Frank  Billings  when,  on  January  3,  1912,  a  medical  science 
room  at  the  Evanston  Public  Library  was  dedicated  in  honor  of  Dr.  Edward 
H.  Webster,  beloved  citizen  of  the  north  shore  suburb. 

"He  set  broken  bones,"  continued  Dr.  Billings,  "healed  broken  hearts, 
assisted  at  the  birth  of  all  the  children  born  in  Evanston  in  those  days', 
attended  patients  in  epidemics  of  all  sorts  of  fevers  and  inflammations,  was 
the  surgeon  of  the  railroad,  attended  to  diseases  of  the  eye,  ear,  throat  and 
skin  and,  in  short,  was  a  doctor  worth  while.  Twenty-four  years  ago  he 
invited  me  to  see  an  Evanstonian  with  him.  In  that  day  the  trains  to  and 
from  Chicago  were  not  frequent.  A  half  day  was  occupied  in  the  trip. 

"The  doctor  met  me  at  the  station  and  we  drove  in  a  one  horse  buggy 
to  the  home  of  the  patient.  He  procured  from  his  pocket  a  handful  of  keys, 
selected  one  and  unlocked  the  door.  Without  meeting  any  member  of  the 
family  he  led  the  way  up-stairs  to  the  bedchamber  where  the  patient,  a  man, 
lay  in  bed  attended  by  the  wife  as  a  nurse.  The  introduction  was  as  follows, 
'John,  I  don't  know  what  is  the  matter  with  you  and  I  have  brought  this 
young  fellow  in  to  see  if  he  knows  as  much  or  more  than  I  do.  Mary,  this 
is  Dr.  Billings.'  After  the  examination,  the  opinion  as  to  the  nature  of  the 
disease  and  treatment  was  discussed. 

"Then  Webster  drove  me  about  for  an  hour  until  train  time  as  he  made 
calls  upon  an  obstetrical  case,  a  broken  leg,  a  case  of  scarlet  fever,  a  scalp 
wound,  a  nervous  patient,  et  cetera.  In  each  instance  he  entered  the  house 
with  a  pass  key.  In  answer  to  my  question  he  said,  'I  haven't  time  to  wait  for 
doors  to  be  opened;  with  the  keys  I  can  save  time  and  go  in  quickly  night 
and  day.'  In  the  years  which  followed,  I  found  that  he  did  go  in  night  and 
day,  for,  on  many  occasions,  he  was  so  busy  that  his  household  would  not 
see  him  for  twenty-four  hours.  His  patient  became  his  friend  at  once,  and 
George,  Helen,  Kate  and  Henry  from  him  and  Ed  or  Dr.  Ed  from  them  made 
common  salutations." 

That  was  Dr.  Edward  Hutchins  Webster,  prophet  with  honor  in  his  own 
community. 

Dr.  Webster  was  born  at  Wells  River,  Vt.,  November  17,  1851.  The 
family  came  to  Illinois  from  Pembroke,  N.  H.,  when  he  was  fifteen  years 
old  and  settled  in  Evanston.  He  was  graduated  from  Northwestern  Uni- 
versity in  1874,  receiving  from  that  institution  later  the  degree  of  master 
of  arts.  In  1877  he  was  graduated  from  the  Chicago  Medical  College.  After 
serving  for  some  time  as  surgeon  of  the  Chicago  and  Northwestern  Rail-

road,  he  entered  upon  general  practice  in  Evanston.  In  this  he  continued 
until  his  death. 

Dr.  Webster  took  part  in  the  establishment  of  Evanston  Hospital  and, 
from  its  organization,  gave  it  hearty  support.  For  a  long  time  he  was  dean 
of  the  medical  staff  and  during  the  last  four  years  of  his  life  he  was  dean 
emeritus. 

Dr.  Webster's  death,  January  23,  1916,  was  universally  mourned  in  the 
community  where  for  nearly  forty  years  he  had  been  a  zealous  practitioner 
and  public  spirited  citizen. 


ROSWELL    PARK 
(1852-1914) 

Although  better  known  as  one  of  the  leading  surgeons  and  teachers  of  the 
east,  Dr.  Roswell  Park  in  his  early  life  was  closely  identified  with  Chicago. 
During  his  few  years  here  he  made  a  lasting  impression  upon  his  colleagues, 
and  after  his  departure  many  efforts  were  made  to  have  him  return  as  a 
teacher. 

He  was  born  in  Pomfret,  Connecticut,  May  4,  1852,  and  was  descended 
from  an  old  English  and  New  England  family,  Sir  Robert  Park  having  come 
to  Massachusetts  in  1630  from  Preston,  England,  later  moving  to  Connecticut. 
Roswell  Park  went  to  school  in  Connecticut  and  later  to  the  Racine  (Wis- 
consin) grammar  school  and  Immanuel  Hall  in  Chicago.  He  was  graduated 
from  Racine  College,  of  which  his  father  was  president,  receiving  the  degree 
of  A.  B.  in  1872  and  that  of  A.  M.  in  1875. 

After  his  graduation  he  taught  for  one  year  in  Immanuel  Hall  and  then 
entered  the  medical  department  of  Northwestern  University,  from  which  he 
received  his  medical  degree  in  1876.  He  then  served  as  interne  in  Cook 
County  Hospital. 

His  medical  teaching  was  begun  in  1879  as  demonstrator  of  anatomy  in  the 
Woman's  Medical  College  of  Chicago.  In  1880  he  was  appointed  adjunct 
professor  of  anatomy  in  Northwestern  University,  resigning  three  years 
later  to  study  in  Europe.  While  abroad  he  was  made  lecturer  on  surgery 
in  Rush  Medical  College  and  attending  surgeon  at  Michael  Reese  Hospital. 
He  did  not  fill  these  positions,  however,  accepting  instead  the  positions  of 
professor  of  surgery  in  the  University  of  Buffalo  and  surgeon  to  the  Buffalo 
General  Hospital.  He  filled  these  positions  until  his  death. 

He  was  president  of  the  New  York  State  Medical  Society  and  of  the 
American  Surgical  Association.  In  1895  Harvard  University  gave  him  the 
degree  of  A.  M.  and  in  1902  Yale  University  conferred  on  him  the  degree 
of  LL.D. 

In  1892  he  gave  the  Mutter  Lectures  on  surgical  pathology  in  Philadelphia. 
He  wrote  a  monograph  on  surgery  of  the  head  and  brain  and  a  text-book  on 
the  history  of  medicine.  He  was  editor  of  and  principal  contributor  to  the 
"Text-Book  on  Surgery  by  American  Authors"  in  1896  and  was  author  of  a 
text-book  on  general  surgery.  He  published  a  number  of  articles  related  to 
the  history  of  medicine,  and  in  1899  published  a  book  entitled  "An  Epitome 
of  the  History  of  Medicine." 

In  1880  he  married  Miss  Martha  P.  Durkee.  There  were  two  sons  who 
survived  him.  He  died  February  15,  1914,  after  a  very  short  illness.

LEONARD     ST.     JOHN 
(1852-1920) 

Dr.  Leonard  St.  John,  one  of  the  founders  of  the  College  of  Physicians 
and  Surgeons  of  Chicago,  was  born  at  St.  Catherine's,  Ontario,  Canada, 
September  28,  1852.  He  was  the  son  of  Samuel  L.  and  Martha  Seaman 
St.  John. 

He  was  educated  in  the  public  schools  of  his  native  place  and  in  1872

Returning  from  London,  he  practiced  for  about  two  years  in  New  York 
City,  and  came  to  Chicago  in  1876.  With  the  founding  of  the  College  of 
Physicians  and  Surgeons  in  1882,  Dr.  St.  John  became  treasurer  of  the 
corporation  and  professor  of  minor  surgery.  He  held  these  positions  for 
several  years. 

He  was  also  surgeon  to  Cook  County  and  St.  Anthony  de  Padua  hos-

In  1878  he  married  Miss  Anna  Balch  of  New  York  City,  who  died  in 
1893.  Dr.  St.  John  died  April  2,  1920. 

ELBERT     WING 
(1852-1916) 

With  post  graduate  experience  in  Berlin,  Vienna  and  Paris,  Dr.  Elbert 
Wing  began  practice  in  Chicago  in  November,  1885. 

He  was  born  in  Collinsville,  Illinois,  October  3,  1852.  A  public  school  edu- 
cation was  followed  by  graduation  from  Illinois  College  at  Jacksonville  in 
1875,  when  he  received  the  degree  of  Master  of  Arts.  His  medical  preceptors 
were  Doctors  H.  K.  and  C.  G.  Jones  of  Jacksonville,  Illinois,  and  Dr.  Hosmer 
A.  Johnson  of  Chicago.  He  was  graduated  from  Northwestern  University 
Medical  School  in  1882  and  served  a  year  and  a  half  as  interne  at  Cook 
County  Hospital  before  going  abroad,  where  he  devoted  a  year  to  study  in 
Berlin,  Paris  and  Vienna. 

He  then  began  practice  in  Chicago,  where  he  rapidly  assumed  prominence 
as  practitioner  and  teacher.  He  was  professor  of  neurology  in  Northwestern 
University  Medical  School  and  pathologist  on  the  medical  staff  of  Cook 
County  Hospital  until  1890.  The  following  two  years  he  did  special  work  at 
Johns  Hopkins  University. 

In  the  fall  of  1892  he  joined  his  younger  brother,  Dr.  Horace  B.  Wing,  in 
Los  Angeles,  where  for  fourteen  years  he  was  one  of  the  consulting  physicans 
of  the  Southern  California  Hospital  Association.  He  was  active  in  civic  and 
welfare  work  and,  at  the  time  of  his  death,  was  president  of  the  Los  Angeles 
Municipal  League,  a  member  of  the  Municipal  Housing  Committee,  a  mem- 
ber of  the  Los  Angeles  Branch  of  the  National  Social  Hygiene  Society  and 
president  of  the  Morals  Efficiency  Committee  of  the  City  Club. 

Dr.  Wing  married  Miss  Charlotte  J.  Halliday  of  Cairo,  Illinois,  in  1898.  He 
died  in  Los  Angeles,  May  8,  1916. 

HENRY     B.     STEHMAN 
(1852-1918) 

For  fifteen  years  superintendent  of  the  Presbyterian  Hospital  and,  later, 


HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO  155 

on  the  Pacific  coast,  a  leader  in  philanthropic  work,  Dr.  Henry  B.  Stehman 
died  acclaimed  as  one  of  Pasadena's  most  useful  citizens. 

Dr.  Stehman  was  born  in  1852.  He  was  graduated  from  Lebanon  Valley 
College  in  1873.  After  attending  the  Universities  of  Leipzig  and  Brussels 
from  1873  to  1875,  he  matriculated  at  Jefferson  Medical  College  and  was 
graduated  from  that  institution  in  1877.  He  served  his  interneship  at  Block- 
ley  Hospital. 

From  1884  to  1899  he  was  superintendent  of  the  Presbyterian  Hospital  in 
Chicago.  Through  him  the  hospital  received  many  endowments  for  beds, 
rooms  and  wards.  For  eleven  years  he  was  a  teacher  in  Rush  Medical  Col- 
lege, ending  the  period  as  assistant  professor  of  gynecology. 

On  account  of  ill  health,  Dr.  Stehman  moved  to  Pasadena  in  1900,  and 
despite  his  physical  suffering,  became  active  in  the  affairs  of  that  city.  He 
had  a  genius  for  organization  which  found  fruit  in  two  hospitals,  in  a  great 
church  building  and  finally  in  a  monument  to  his  zeal  for  service,  La  Vina,  a 
sanitarium  for  the  tuberculous.  He  designed  the  interiors  of  the  numerous 
buildings  of  the  Pasadena  Hospital  and  assisted  in  their  construction.  He 
secured  large  gifts  for  this  institution. 

"La  Vina  Sanitarium  was  Dr.  Stehman's  greatest  work,"  says  Dr.  Norman 
Bridge  in  one  of  his  writings.  "On  a  farm  near  Pasadena  have  arisen  some 
eighteen  buildings  for  100  patients.  The  farm  and  buildings  were  the  willing 
gifts  of  those  who  believed  in  the  work  and  in  him.  It  was  his  ambition  to 
have  a  haven  for  at  least  a  few  of  the  many  consumptives  who  walk  the 
streets  as  long  as  they  can  and  walk  in  loneliness.  And  this  he  nobly  did.  For 
ten  years,  amid  an  exacting  practice,  he  gave  himself  to  this  service  as  a  labor 
of  love,  refusing  all  material  rewards — even  declining  gifts  for  his  personal 
comfort." 

On  April  25,  1881,  Dr.  Stehman  married  Miss  Elizabeth  M.  Miller.  There 
were  four  children,  Elizabeth  M.,  John  M.,  Genevieve  and  Henry  M.  Steh- 
man, the  last  named  dying  in  1917. 

Overwork  by  Dr.  Stehman  in  the  selective  draft  of  1917  caused  a  break- 
down, which  brought  a  recurrence  of  tuberculosis.  He  died  February  27, 
1918. 

ALEXANDER     HUGH     FERGUSON 
(1853-1911) 

Honor  graduate  of  Trinity  University  of  Toronto,  founder  of  Manitoba 
Medical  College,  recipient  from  the  King  of  Portugal  of  the  Order  of 
Christ.  These  were  some  of  the  distinctions  that  belonged  to  Dr.  Alex- 
ander Hugh  Ferguson,  who  was  president  of  the  Chicago  Medical  Society, 
1910-11. 

Dr.  Ferguson  was  born  in  Ontario,  Canada,  February  27,  1853,  and  died 
in  Chicago,  October  20,  1911. 

After  graduating  from  the  medical  department  of  Trinity  University  in 

1881,  he  did  post-graduate  work  in  American,  British  and  German  hospitals 
and  in  1889  was  a  student  under  Professor  Koch  in  Berlin. 

He  married  Miss  Sarah  Jane  Thomas  of  Nassagaweya,  Ontario,  April  7, 

1882.  Entering  upon  the  practice  of  medicine  in  1882,  he  founded  during 
his  residence  there  the  Manitoba  Medical  College,  in  which  for  three  years 
he  occupied  the  chair  of  physiology  and  histology,  and  for  eight  years  that 
of  surgery.

He  also  became  surgeon-in-chief  to  the  Chicago  Hospital  and  surgeon  to 
the  Cook  County  Hospital  for  the  Insane. 

Dr.  Ferguson  was  a  member  of  the  British  Medical  Association  and  was 
an  organizer  and  first  president  of  the  Manitoba  branch.  He  was  a  member

cological Association,  the  Western  Surgical  and  Gynecological  Association 
and  the  Royal  Geographical  Society.  He  was  an  honorary  member  of  the 
Michigan  Medical  Association. 

Dr.  Ferguson  had  a  large  experience  with  hyatid  cysts.  An  interesting 
paper  on  hyatids  of  the  liver  appeared  in  the  Northwest  Lancet,  St.  Paul, 
in  1893.  He  wrote  more  than  one  hundred  articles,  covering  a  wide  range 
of  surgical  topics.  He  did  many  goitre  operations,  wrote  on  vesice-vaginal 
fistula,  and  was  much  interested  in  cleft  palate. 

He  received  from  the  King  of  Portugal  the  decoration  of  Commander  of 
the  Order  of  Christ  of  Portugal. 

FRANK    E.    WAXHAM 
(1853-1911) 

Member  of  the  first  faculty  of  the  College  of  Physicians  and  Surgeons  of 
Chicago  and  twice  delegate  of  the  American  Medical  Association  to  the 
International  Medical  Congress,  Dr.  Frank  E.  Waxham  was  active  for  many 
years  in  Chicago  as  a  teacher  and  practitioner. 

He  was  born  near  LaPorte,  Indiana,  in  1853.  Later,  after  his  family  had 
moved  to  a  farm  near  Rockford,  Illinois,  he  was  graduated  from  the  Rockford 
High  School.  He  studied  medicine  with  Dr.  Lucius  Clark  of  Rockford  and 
was  graduated  from  the  Chicago  Medical  College  in  1878.  After  a  term  as 
house  physician  at  Mercy  Hospital,  Dr.  Waxham  joined  the  first  faculty  of 
the  College  of  Physicians  and  Surgeons  in  1882  as  professor  of  diseases  of 
children,  a  position  which  he  occupied  until  1888,  when  he  was  elected  to  the 
chair  of  otology,  laryngology  and  rhinology.  The  latter  subjects  were  covered 
by  him  also  as  a  professor  at  the  Chicago  Ophthalmic  College  and  the  Post 
Graduate  Medical  School. 

In  1885  he  introduced  in  Chicago  and  began  the  development  of  the  opera- 
tion of  intubation  which  he  successfully  performed  many  times.  Papers  on 
the  theme  were  read  by  Dr.  Waxham  when  he  was  a  delegate  of  the  American 
Medical  Association  to  the  International  Medical  College  in  Washington  in 
1887  and  in  Glasgow  in  1888. 

After  his  return  from  Europe  he  restricted  his  practice  to  the  treatment  of 
diseases  of  the  throat  and  nose.

the  faculty  of  Gross  Medical  College.  In  1895  he  was  elected  professor  of 
laryngology,  rhinology  and  clinical  medicine  in  the  University  of  Colorado,

ARTHUR     B.     HOSMER 
(1854-1906) 

Founder  and  president  of  the  Chicago  Orthopedic  Society,  Dr.  Arthur  B. 
Hosmer  was  one  of  the  leading  surgeons  of  the  community. 

He  was  born  in  Chicago,  February  25,  1854,  and  received  his.  academic 
education  in  Chicago  and  Europe.  He  devoted  three  years  to  study  of  lan- 
guages and  literature  in  Wurttemburg  and  Dresden.  He  was  graduated  from 
the  Chicago  Medical  College  in  1875,  and  the  following  year  he  studied  under 
Professor  Alfred  L.  Loomis  of  New  York.  Engaging  in  practice  in  Chicago, 
Dr.  Hosmer  married  Miss  Adele  Burwell  in  1880.  Accompanied  by  his  wife, 
he  proceeded  to  Vienna,  wrhere  he  spent  seven  months  in  the  study  of 
orthopedic  surgery. 

He  was  one  of  the  founders  of  the  Chicago  Orthopedic  Society  and  was 
one  of  its  presidents.  For  years  he  was  chief  orthopedic  surgeon  of  St.  Luke's 
Hospital,  professor  of  orthopedic  surgery  at  the  Chicago  Policlinic  and 
Hospital  and  physician  and  surgeon  at  the  Home  for  Destitute  Crippled 
Children. 

Dr,  Hosmer  was  surgeon  of  the  First  Cavalry,  I.  N.  G.,  which,  in  the  World 
war,  became  the  122nd  Field  Artillery.  He  was  a  frequent  contributor  to 
medical  journals  and,  at  the  time  of  his  death,  was  translating  from  the 
German  a  text  book  on  surgery.  He  was  of  athletic  physique,  and  was  an 
ardent  golf  player,  being  a  member  of  the  Chicago  Golf  Club  at  Wheaton. 
He  died  May  5,  1906,  of  pneumonia. 

JAMES     HERBERT     STOWELL 
(1854-1919) 

President  of  the  Chicago  Medical  Society  in  1900,  Dr.  James  Herbert 
Stowell  was  a  practitioner  in  Chicago  for  nearly  forty  years. 

He  was  born  at  Delavan,  Wisconsin,  April  29,  1854.  After  being  graduated 
from  Beloit  College  he  entered  the  Chicago  Medical  College  and  was  gradu- 
ated from  that  institution  in  1881.  He  then  began  practice  in  Chicago.  He 
became  medical  examiner  of  the  National  Life  Insurance  Company  of 
America  and  also  of  the  United  States  Annuity  and  Life  Insurance  Company. 
He  was  a  member  of  the  American  Medical  Association,  the  Illinois  State  and 
Chicago  Medical  Societies. 

He  was  also  a  member  of  the  Chicago  Society  of  Internal  Medicine,  the 
Mississippi  Valley  Medical  Society,  the  Chicago  Society  of  Medical  History, 
the  Medical  Examiner's  Society,  the  Wisconsin  Society  and  the -Chicago 
Congregational  Club. 

On  June  16,  1880,  Dr.  Stowell  married  Miss  Frances  Evelyn  Beckett  of 
Aurora,  Illinois.  She  died  in  1897,  leaving  five  children.  Dr.  Stowell  died 
May  31,  1919. 

FRED     BYRON     ROBINSON 
(1855-1910) 

From  a  log  cabin  school  in  Wisconsin  to  the  universities  and  hospitals 
of  Heidelberg,  Vienna,  Berlin  and  London,  encompassed  the  preliminary 
training  of  Dr.  Fred  Byron  Robinson,  gynecologist  and  abdominal  surgeon. 

Born  on  a  farm  near  Hollendale  in  central  Wisconsin,  April  11,  1855,  the 


160  HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO 

future  surgeon,  familiarly  known  in  later  years  as  Byron  Robinson,  lived 
the  life  of  a  son  of  a  small  farmer  and  attended  a  log  school  house  until  he 
went  to  the  Mineral  Point  Seminary,  through  which  he  worked  his  way.  He 
next  entered  the  University  of  Wisconsin,  from  which  he  was  graduated 
with  the  degree  of  B.  S.  in  1878. 

In  the  fall  of  1878,  he  began  work  as  a  teacher  in  the  high  school  at  Ash- 
land, Wisconsin,  this  being  followed  by  teaching  service  at  Black  Earth, 
Wisconsin.  During  this  period  he  took  up  the  study  of  medicine  under 
Dr.  U.  P.  Stair,  as  preceptor.  In  1882  he  obtained  his  medical  degree  from 
Rush  Medical  College  and  immediately  began  practice  at  Grand  Rapids,  Wis- 
consin, his  slender  resources  making  impossible  a  hospital  internship. 

For  three  years,  beginning  in  1884,  he  studied  at  Heidelberg,  Berlin  and 
London,  this  preparation  being  followed  by  a  course  in  gynecology  in  Vienna 
in  1887.  The  following  year  he  was  professor  of  anatomy  and  clinical  sur- 
gery in  the  Toledo  (Ohio)  Medical  College.  In  1890  he  studied  abdominal 
surgery  under  Professor  Lawson  Tait  in  Birmingham,  England. 

Thus  equipped,  Dr.  Robinson  began  the  practice  of  gynecology  and  abdomi- 
nal surgery  in  Chicago  in  1891.  In  that  year  he  became  professor  of  gyne- 
cology in  the  Post-Graduate  Medical  School  of  Chicago,  later  becoming  asso- 
ciated with  the  Illinois  Medical  College  as  professor  of  gynecology  and 
abdominal  surgery.  For  many  years  he  was  on  the  staffs  of  the  Woman's 
Hospital  of  Chicago  and  the  Mary  Thompson  Hospital  for  Women  and 
Children.  He  was  also  surgeon  to  the  Frances  E.  Willard  Hospital. 

Dr.  Robinson  was  a  voluminous  writer  on  medical  and  surgical  subjects, 
his  best  known  and  most  important  works  perhaps  being,  "The  Arteries  of 
the  Gastro-Intestinal  Tract,  with  Inosculation  Circle,"  "Landmarks  of  Gyne- 
cology" and  "The  Peritoneum." 

Of  Dr.  Robinson's  work,  Dr.  Nicholas  Senn  said :  "Dr.  Robinson's  addi- 
tions to  .our  knowledge  of  the  structures  of  the  biliary  and  pancreatic  ducts, 
the  ureto-ovarian  circle  (Robinson's  circle),  the  ureters  (Robinson's  three 
uretral  isthmuses),  the  great  sympathetic  nerve  (the  abdominal  brain),  and 
the  peritoneum  are  of  far-reaching  and  scientific  value.  In  the  last  edition 
of  Da  Costa's  'Gray's  Anatomy,'  Dr.  Robinson's  name  appears  no  less  than 
forty  times." 

"Dr.  Robinson  was  one  of  the  most  diligent  men  that  I  have  ever  known," 
Dr.  William  A.  Evans  has  written.  "Up  to  the  very  end  of  his  life  he  dis- 
sected, did  operative  work  on  the  cadaver  and  attended  and  made  autopsies. 
He  never  permitted  his  office  and  operative  work  to  take  all  of  his  time  and 
energy,  but,  having  set  aside  a  part  of  his  time  for  dead-house  and  dissect- 
ing-room work,  he  adhered  to  his  schedule." 

In  1894,  Dr.  Robinson  married  Dr.  Lucy  Waite,  then  head  surgeon  of  the 
Mary  Thompson  Hospital.  She  survived  him  upon  his  death,  March  23,  1910. 

HENRY    GRADLE 

(1855-1911) 

First  exponent  in  Chicago  of  the  germ  theory  of  disease  and  one  of  the 
earliest  in  America  to  propound  this  concept,  Dr.  Henry  Gradle  was  a 
disciple  of  Koch.  He  was  one  of  the  leading  ophthalmologists  and  otologists 
in  the  west. 

Dr.  Gradle  was  born  in  Frankfort-on-Main,  Germany,  August  17,  1855. 
He  came  to  this  country  when  but  ten  years  old.  He  received  his  grade  and 
preparatory  school  education  in  Chicago.  Entering  the  Chicago  Medical 


HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO  161 

College  he  was  graduated  in  medicine  in  1874  and  then  served  one  year's 
interneship  at  Mercy  Hospital.  He  then  went  abroad,  where  he  devoted  three 
years  to  studying  in  Vienna,  Berlin,  Leipzig,  Heidelberg,  Paris  and  London. 
Part  of  this  time  was  spent  with  Koch,  part  with  Ludwig  and  the  remainder 
in  the  ophthalmological  clinics. 

Thoroughly  imbued  with  the  teachings  of  Koch,  Dr.  Cradle  brought  to 
Chicago  the  first  concepts  of  the  bacterial  origin  of  human  disease  and  one 
of  the  first  addresses  he  delivered  was  on  "The  Germ  Theory  of  Disease." 
This  was  later  expanded  into  a  series  of  lectures  that  were  delivered  at  his 
old  college  and  published  in  pamphlet  form. 

From  1881  to  1885  Dr.  Cradle  taught  physiology  and  hygiene  at  the  Chi- 
cago Medical  College  and  abandoned  this  favorite  branch  only  upon  limiting 
his  practice  exclusively  to  the  eye,  ear,  nose  and  throat.  From  1895  to  1906 
he  was  professor  of  ophthalmology  and  otology  in  the  same  institution.  He 
was  the  author  of  numerous  articles  dealing  with  his  specialty  and  one  three 
volume  text  book  on  Diseases  of  the  Nose,  Pharynx  and  Ear.  This  attained 
universal  recognition  and  was  even  translated  into  Japanese. 

Dr.  Cradle  was  a  member  of  the  Chicago  Medical  Society,  the  American 
Medical  Association,  the  Chicago  Ophthalmological  Society,  the  Illuminating 
Engineering  Society  and  numerous  other  special  societies.  On  August  31, 
1881,  he  married  Miss  Fanny  Searls.  They  had  two  children,  Harry  S.,  who 
succeeded  to  his  father's  practice,  and  a  younger  son,  Roy,  a  manufacturer 
now  residing  in  Los  Angeles. 

In  stature  Dr.  Cradle  was  short,  standing  only  five  feet  one  inch,  but  that 
physical  handicap  was  forgotten  the  moment  he  started  to  speak.  One  of 
his  intimate  friends,  Dr.  G.  Frank  Lydston,  nicknamed  him  "The  Little 
Giant"  and  this  was  practically  the  only  reference  to  his  height  that  did  not 
cause  him  mental  discomfort. 

Dr.  Cradle's  manner  was  always  kindly  and  courteous  although,  at  times, 
the  press  of  patients  made  him  somewhat  gruff.  He  was  an  excellent  linguist, 
speaking  and  writing  faultless  German  and  English.  He  also  had  a  working 
knowledge  of  Latin,  French  and  Italian.  Anything  partaking  of  scientific 
endeavor  immediately  caught  his  interest  and  he  was  not  content  until  he 
had  mastered  the  theories  of  it.  He  had  an  encyclopedic  knowledge  of  the 
literature  of  his  specialty  and  a  fairly  intimate  acquaintance  with  the  litera- 
ture of  medicine  in  general.  An  article  once  grasped  was  never  forgotten. 
Dr.  Cradle  died  at  Santa  Barbara,  California,  April  4,  1911. 

FRANK    SEWARD     JOHNSON 
(1856-1922) 

Dr.  Frank  Seward  Johnson,  practitioner  and  teacher  of  medicine,  was  one 
of  Chicago's  intellectually  stalwart  men.  He  was  the  son  of  Dr.  Hosmer 
Allen  Johnson,  whom  he  resembled  both  physically  and  mentally. 

The  son  was  born  April  18,  1856,  in  Chicago.  His  preliminary  education 
was  acquired  in  a  private  school,  with  one  year's  study  in  Stuttgart,  Ger- 
many. He  prepared  for  college  in  Professor  Henry  H.  Babcock's  Chicago 
Academy  and  entered  Northwestern  University  in  1874,  receiving  the  degree 
of  A.  B.  in  1878.  Three  years  later  he  was  awarded  his  master's  degree  by 
the  university  and  in  the  same  year  he  earned  his  medical  degree  from  Chi- 
cago Medical  College,  the  medical  department  of  the  university. 

A  year  in  the  University  of  Vienna  and  in  the  hospitals  of  that  city  and 


162  HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO 

another  as  interne  at  Cook  County  Hospital  preceded  his  entry  upon  the 
practice  of  his  profession  in  Chicago.  From  boyhood  he  had  been  trained  by 
his  father  in  the  use  of  instruments  of  precision,  especially  the  microscope, 
and  in  chemical  laboratory  work,  so  that  his  skill  with  these  means  of  diag- 
nosis soon  brought  him  into  prominence  with  physicians  and  laymen. 

In  1883  he  was  appointed  demonstrator  of  histology  in  Chicago  Medical 
College  and  the  next  year  was  made  professor  of  that  subject.  Unfortunately 
his  work  was  interrupted  by  repeated  attacks  of  appendicitis,  which  forced 
him  to  desist  from  teaching  for  several  years.  Upon  his  recovery  he  accepted 
the  appointment  of  professor  of  medicine  in  Chicago  Medical  College  and 
later  he  was  made  dean  of  the  faculty.  About  this  time  the  Chicago  Medical 
College  completed  the  union  with  the  university  and  became  the  Northwest- 
ern University  Medical  School.  In  1910  he  was  elected  emeritus  dean  and 
professor  of  medicine  and  clinical  medicine  in  the  Northwestern  University 
Medical  School,  the  highest  honor  in  the  power  of  the  school  to  bestow. 

Dr.  Johnson  was  consulting  physician  to  Michael  Reese,  Mercy  and  the 
Woman's  hospitals.  He  was  a  member  of  the  American  Medical  Association, 
the  Illinois  State  and  Chicago  Medical  Societies,  the  Institute  of  Medicine  of 
Chicago,  the  American  Climatological  Association,  the  American  Association 
for  the  Study  and  Prevention  of  Tuberculosis,  the  Chicago  Academy  of  Sci- 
ences, the  Physicians'  Club  of  Chicago,  the  Cliff  Dwellers  and  the  Chicago 
Literary  and  University  Clubs.  In  February,  1911,  he  was  appointed  First 
Lieutenant  in  the  Medical  Reserve  Corps.  He  was  also  a  director  of  the  John 
Crerar  Library. 

On  September  30,  1890,  he  married  Miss  Elizabeth  Burbank  Ayer,  daugh- 
ter of  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Edward  E.  Ayer  of  Chicago.  There  are  two  sons, 
Hosmer  Allen  Johnson,  a  California  architect,  and  Edward  Ayer  Johnson. 

In  1917  Dr.  and  Mrs.  Johnson  removed  to  Pasadena,  California,  where 
among  old  friends  they  established  a  new  home.  He  died  there  April  23, 
1922. 

Dr.  Frank  T.  Andrews  writes  concerning  him : 

"Dr.  Johnson  was  a  man  of  rare  good  judgment  with  the  ability  to  marshal 
his  facts  and  to  express  his  ideas  and  opinions  in  perfect  order  and  with 
telling  effect.  His  mind  was  of  the  judicial  type.  He  was  alert  to  detect 
deceit  and  quick  to  resent  any  compromise  with  evil  and  error.  He  was  a 
profound  student,  precise,  painstaking  and  accurate." 

BOERNE     BETTMAN 
(1856-1906) 

With  exceptional  equipment  Dr.  Boerne  Bettman  entered  upon  the  practice 
of  ophthalmology  in  Chicago. 

Born  in  Cincinnati  September  6,  1856,  Dr.  Bettman  was  the  son  of  a 
graduate  of  the  medical  department  of  the  University  of  Munich.  Under  the 
preceptorship  of  his  father,  in  the  Miami  Medical  College,  Dr.  Bettman 
pursued  a  three-year  course  and  received  his  degree  in  1877.  For  a  short  time 
thereafter,  he  was  assistant  to  Dr.  Elkanah  Williams,  the  first  professor  of 
ophthalmology  in  the  United  States. 

Proceeding  to  New  York  he  studied  for  a  time  in  the  laboratory  of  Dr. 
Heitzman  and  then,  for  a  year  and  a  half,  was  assistant  to  Dr.  Herman 
Knapp.  For  the  next  three  years  he  studied  in  Europe.  In  Vienna  his 
teachers  were  Arlt,  Stelhveg,  Yaeger,  Mauthner,  Fuchs.  Politzer,  Gruber,

and  Storch.  At  Heidelberg  in  1879  he  became  the  second  assistant  to  Dr. 
Otto  Becker.  Later  he  was  made  Becker's  first  assistant. 

Dr.  Bettman  opened  an  office  in  Chicago  in  November,  1881,  as  specialist 
in  diseases  of  the  eye  and  ear.  For  a  number  of  years  he  was  surgeon-in- 
chief  of  the  Illinois  Charitable  Eye  and  Ear  Infirmary.  He  was  the  founder 
of  the  organization  which  is  now  the  Chicago  Ophthalmological  Society. 

On  April  4,  1888,  Dr.  Bettman  married  Miss  Clara  Snydacker.  There  were 
two  children,  Ralph  Boerne  Bettman,  who  became  a  physician  in  Chicago, 
and  a  daughter,  now  Mrs.  John  Frank. 

Dr.  Bettman  was  the  first  lecturer  on  ophthalmology  and  otology  in  the 
College  of  Physicians  and  Surgeons  and  was  later  professor  of  those  branches 
in  that  institution.  He  was  professor  of  ophthalmology  and  vice-president 
and  treasurer  of  the  Post  Graduate  Medical  School ;  oculist  and  aurist  to 
Michael  Reese,  Cook  County  and  the  German  hospitals.  He  was  a  member 
of  the  American,  the  Illinois  State  and  Chicago  Medical  societies  and  the 
Tri-State  and  Microscopical  societies.  Dr.  Bettman  was  president  of  the 
State  Board  of  Public  Charities  and  Assistant  Surgeon,  Second  Regiment, 
Illinois  National  Guard. 

He  died  May  25,  1906. 

GEORGE  FRANCIS  SHEARS 
(1856-1909) 

For  more  than  twenty-five  years  connected  with  Hahnemann  Medical  Col- 
lege of  Chicago  as  lecturer,  professor,  secretary  and  president,  Dr.  George 
Francis  Shears  was  perhaps  second  in  importance  to  Dr.  Reuben  Ludlam 
among  homeopathic  teachers  and  practitioners  of  his  time  in  Chicago. 

Dr.  Shears  was  born  in  Aurora,  Illinois,  September  16,  1856,  the  son  of 
Joseph  and  Mary  A.  Reynolds  Shears.  He  attended  the  grammar  and  high 
schools  of  Aurora,  was  graduated  from  the  Aurora  Normal  School  in  1874, 
and  a  year  later  began  the  teaching  career  that  was  to  last  almost  uninter- 
ruptedly until  his  death. 

When  nineteen  years  old  he  was  principal  of  the  Young  school  in  Aurora 
and  had  under  his  direction  twelve  teachers  and  six  hundred  pupils.  He  held 
this  position  for  four  years. 

Entering  Hahnemann  Medical  College  of  Chicago,  he  was  graduated  in 
1880  and  obtained,  through  competitive  examination,  the  position  of  house 
surgeon  in  Hahnemann  Hospital.  The  following  year  he  entered  general 
practice  and  was  appointed  lecturer  in  his  alma  mater.  In  1883  he  became 
associated  with  the  late  Dr.  George  A.  Hall  and  was  appointed  lecturer  in 
surgery  in  Hahnemann. 

In  1883  he  was  elected  superintendent  of  Hahnemann  Hospital,  becoming 
at  once  an  important  factor  in  its  upbuilding.  In  1885  he  became  adjunct 
professor  of  surgery  in  Hahnemann  Medical  College,  in  1887  associate  pro- 
fessor of  surgery  and  in  1889  senior  professor  of  surgery  upon  the  retirement 
of  Dr.  George  A.  Hall. 

He  was  elected  a  member  of  the  board  of  trustees  of  the  college  in  1893, 
serving  as  secretary,  and  in  1900  president  of  the  college  upon  the  retirement 
of  Dr.  Charles  H.  Vilas.  He  held  this  position  until  his  death.  It  was  said 
that  during  all  his  years  of  service  to  the  college  Dr.  Shears  never  missed 
the  opening  exercises  or  failed  to  be  present  on  commencement  day. 

He  was  surgeon  to  the   Chicago  Baptist  Hospital  and  the  Silver  Cross

Hospital  in  Joliet,  and  was  on  the  staff  of  Cook  County  Hospital.  For  many 
years  he  was  associate  editor  of  "Clinique."  He  contributed  a  chapter  on 
malignant  tumors  to  the  "System  of  Medicine"  and  chapters  on  hernia  and 
diseases  of  the  breast  to  the  "Homeopathic  Text  Book  of  Surgery." 

In  1884  he  married  Miss  Jessie  E.  Hunter,  who  had  already  been  graduated 
in  medicine. 

He  died  August  22,  1909. 

"In  Hahnemann  Medical  College  and  in  its  splendid  work  the  world  will 
always  see  the  greatest  monument  to  Doctor  Shears,  the  medical  educator," 
Dr.  Burton  Haseltine  has  written.  "But  to  those  who  knew  him  intimately 
his  finest  monument  is  the  inspiration  of  his  personal  life. 

"The  greatest  teacher  is  he  who  instructs  by  a  noble  example.  He  taught 
by  his  example  that  high  ethical  ideals  are  not  inimical  to  material  success. 
He  taught  that  intense  professional  activity  does  not  prohibit  intellectual 
and  artistic  refinement.  He  taught  the  charm  of  constant  communion  with 
the  world's  master  minds.  He  taught  the  lesson  of  sympathy  with  the  poor 
and  the  unfortunate,  and  taught  the  lesson  of  calmness,  courage  and  self- 
forgetfulness  in  the  greatest  trial  that  a  man  can  face." 

GEORGE    FRANK    BUTLER 
(1857-1921) 

Practitioner  and  poet,  Dr.  George  F.  Butler  held  a  philosophy  articulated 
in  the  subjoined  verse  which  is  quoted  at  length  because  in  large  measure  it 
formulates  the  creed  of  more  than  one  unselfish  and  devoted  physician : 

MY  SUCCESS 

I've  missed  the  wage  for  which  the  rich  aspire, 

And  the  world's  plaudits.    But  tho'  I've  missed 
What  most  men  covet,  I've  reached  a  higher 

Goal  than  wealth  and  fame,  for  my  lips  are  kissed 
By  loved  ones,  and  I've  felt  the  poet's  thirst 

And  have  drunk  deeply  from  the  Muse's  spring, 
Which  of  all  generous  gifts  of  gods  is  first 

And  best,  the  one  most  gracious  offering. 
And  I  have,  too,  the  love,  and  thanks,  and  prayers 

Of  those  I've  helped  in  sickness  and  in  stress. 
Then  why  repine  and  let  a  doubt  prevail? 

Has  not  God's  kind  hand  led  me  unawares 
Unto  these  lovely  heights?     I  cannot  fail, 

When  loved  and  loving,  of  a  rich  success! 

George  F.  Butler  was  born  at  Moravia,  N.  Y.,  on  March  15,  1857.  He  was 
of  Quaker  stock,  the  only  child  of  Asenath  Chase  and  Isaac  Butler.  In 
1874  he  was  graduated  from  Baldwins'  Academy  at  Groton,  N.  Y.,  after  which 
he  went  to  Pittsfield,  Mass.,  spending  four  years  there  as  a  pharmacist. 

Because  of  ill  health  he  went  in  1878  to  southwestern  Kansas  where  he 
spent  eight  years  on  a  sheep  ranch  and  in  the  drug  business.  Afterward  he 
entered  Rush  Medical  College,  graduating  in  1889  as  valedictorian  of  his 
class.  For  twenty-eight  years  he  was  professor  of  materia  medica,  thera- 
peutics and  clinical  medicine,  teaching  in  various  Chicago  medical  colleges. 
In  1908  Valparaiso  University,  Indiana,  conferred  upon  him  the  honorary 
degree  of  Master  of  Arts. 

Institutional  work  probably  appealed  to  him  largely  because  it  gave  him 


166  HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO 

greater  opportunity  to  cultivate  his  literary  talents.  For  about  twenty  years 
he  served  as  medical  superintendent  in  institutions.  These  included  Alma 
Sanitarium,  Mudlavia  Springs  Sanitarium  and,  during  the  last  three  years 
of  his  life,  the  North  Shore  Health  Resort  at  Winnetka,  Illinois. 

His  literary  productions  covered  a  wide  range.  He  wrote  several  medical 
works,  of  which  a  text  book  on  Materia  Medica  and  Therapeutics  is  best 
known.  Aside  from  medical  productions,  he  wrote  numerous  poems  which 
were  collected  in  "Love  and  Its  Affinities,"  "The  Isle  of  Content,"  "Sonnets 
of  the  Heart"  and  "Echoes  of  Petrarch."  "The  Exploits  of  a  Physician 
Detective"  were  clever  detective  stories. 

His  last  production  was  "How  the  Mind  Cures,"  which  he  designed 
especially  for  the  laity,  hoping  to  diffuse  scientific  views  at  a  time  when 
"mind  cures"  were  so  popular  among  many  people. 

Dr.  Butler  was  a  member  of  many  medical  societies  and  literary  clubs, 
among  which  were  the  American  Medical  Association,  the  Chicago  Academy 
of  Medicine,  Press  Club,  Cliff  Dwellers,  Society  of  Midland  Authors  and 
White  Paper  Club. 

In  1881  Dr.  Butler  married  Miss  Nancy  Porter,  daughter  of  Judge  John 
Porter  of  Monmouth,  Illinois.  In  June,  1921,  he  attended  the  convention  of 
the  American  Medical  Association  in  Boston.  He  died  on  a  train  while 
returning  to  Chicago,  June  22,  1921. 

WILLIAM     WRIGHT    JAGGARD 
(1857-1896) 

Authority  on  obstetrics,  Dr.  William  Wright  Jaggard,  was  a  distinguished 
teacher  in  the  medical  department  of  Northwestern  University. 

Dr.  Jaggard  was  born  at  Altoona,  Pa.,  May  26,  1857.  He  was  graduated 
with  high  honors  from  Dickinson  College  and,  in  1880,  from  the  medical  de- 
partment of  the  University  of  Pennsylvania.  After  a  term  as  resident  phy- 
sician in  the  University  Hospital,  he  devoted  two  years  to  professional  study 
in  Vienna,  where  he  was  resident  physician  in  La  Charite  Hospital. 

Thereafter,  he  began  practice  in  Chicago.  He  was  elected  professor  of 
obstetrics  in  the  medical  department  of  Northwestern  University,  where 
he  achieved  success  as  a  teacher.  In  1891  he  married  Miss  Elizabeth  New- 
berry,  daughter  of  Professor  Newberry  of  Columbia  University.  She  died 
in  Chicago  in  1894.  Dr.  Jaggard  proceeded  to  Europe  and  undertook  a  course 
of  study  in  Berlin. 

Shortly  after  his  return  he  died  at  Philadelphia,  January  30,  1896. 

He  was  a  prolific  writer  on  obstetrics.  His  last  contribution  to  medical 
literature  appeared  in  the  American  Text  Book  of  Obstetrics. 

JOHN     BENJAMIN     MURPHY 
(1857-1916) 

"In  reviewing  Dr.  Murphy's  manifold  activities  and  attempting  to  deter- 
mine the  greatest  of  his  many  great  qualities,  I  think  we  may  place  first  his 
ability  as  a  teacher  of  clinical  surgery  and  sum  up  by  saying  that  in  this 
respect  he  was  without  a  peer.  In  his  talented  and  discriminating  writing 
we  find  evidence  of  his  teaching  on  every  hand.  Dr.  Murphy  was  the  sur- 
gical genius  of  our  generation."  (William  J.  Mayo,  M.  D.) 

This  was  written  of  the  man  whose  formula  was,  "Competency  is  attained 
and  maintained  only  by  zeal,  indefatigable  labor  and  continued  efforts  in  self- 
education." 


HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO  167 

John  Benjamin  Murphy  was  born  at  Appleton,  Wisconsin,  December  21, 
1857,  the  son  of  Michael  and  Ann  Grimes  Murphy.  He  was  graduated  from 
the  Appleton  High  School  and  studied  medicine  under  the  preceptorship  of 
Dr.  John  R.  Reilly  of  Appleton. 

In  1879  Dr.  Murphy  received  his  medical  degree  from  Rush  Medical 
College  and,  after  serving  a  year  as  interne  at  Cook  County  Hospital,  he  de- 
voted nearly  two  years  to  post-graduate  work  in  the  hospitals  of  Vienna, 
Berlin,  Heidelberg,  Munich  and  London.  Returning  to  Chicago,  he  became 
associated  with  Dr.  Edward  W.  Lee,  a  distinguished  practitioner  on  the 
west  side.  From  1889  to  1893  he  was  a  lecturer  on  surgery  at  Rush  Medical 
College. 

In  1892  Dr.  Murphy  became  professor  of  clinical  surgery  in  the  College  of 
Physicians  and  Surgeons  of  Chicago  and  thus  served  until  1901.  From  1901 
to  1905  he  was  professor  of  surgery  in  the  Northwestern  University  Medical 
School  and  from  1905  to  1908  he  occupied  the  same  chair  in  Rush  Medical 
College.  Again  he  was  professor  of  surgery  at  Northwestern  from  1908  to 
1916.  For  many  years  also  he  was  professor  of  surgery  in  the  Post-Graduate 
Medical  School  of  Chicago  and  the  Chicago  Clinical  School. 

From  March  21,  1895,  until  his  death  he  was  chief  surgeon  at  Mercy  Hos- 
pital. He  was  also  for  many  years  attending  surgeon  at  Cook  County  Hos- 
pital and  the  Alexian  Brothers  and  West  Side  hospitals  and  consultant  at 
St.  Joseph's  Hospital  and  the  Home  for  Destitute  Crippled  Children. 

"Dr.  Murphy  was  a  man  of  extraordinary  energy  and  great  scientific 
imagination,"  writes  Dr.  Mayo.  "Traditional  medicine  had  little  interest  for 
him,  but  the  newer  knowledge  that  came  from  the  bacterial  origin  of  disease 
furnished  a  fruitful  field  for  his  talents.  His  earliest  interest  was  in  ab- 
dominal surgery,  then  in  its  infancy.  The  Murphy  button,  the  greatest 
mechanical  aid  in  surgery,  is  an  evidence  of  his  inventive  ingenuity  and  laid 
the  foundation  for  the  gastro-intestinal  surgery  of  today. 

"Murphy  was  among  the  first  to  investigate  the  cause  and  treatment  of 
peritonitis  following  appendicitis,  the  causes  and  various  forms  of  ileus,  and 
the  pathologic  processes  in  the  pelvis,  gall-bladder,  stomach,  pancreas  and 
kidneys.  Each  subject  he  investigated  he  left  on  a  higher  plane  before  enter- 
ing a  new  field. 

"His  writings  on  the  principles  underlying  surgery  of  the  lung  and  nervous 
system  have  been  among  the  most  important  contributions  on  the  subject. 
In  recent  years  he  was  deeply  interested  in  the  subject  of  deformities,  espe- 
cially those  due  to  infection  of  the  bones  and  joints,  and  the  results  of  his 
investigations  were  of  high  order. 

"He  was  a  dramatic  figure  in  the  operating  room.  With  instrument  in 
hand  he  fairly  thrilled  his  audience,  as  he  reviewed  the  history  of  the  case, 
exhibited  a  specimen  and  proved  the  minute  accuracy  of  his  diagnosis." 

In  a  recent  address  before  the  students  of  Northwestern  University 
Medical  School,  Dr.  F.  Robert  Zeit  pointed  to  the  following  as  Dr.  Murphy's 
principal  contributions  to  surgical  science: 

1892— Cholecysto-intestinal,  gastro-intestinal  and  entero-intestinal  anasto- 
moses without  sutures  by  means  of  the  Murphy  button. 
1897 — Sutures    of   arteries   and   veins. 

1898—  Surgery    of   lung,    nitrogen   gas    artificial    pneumo-thorax. 
1907- -Surgery  of  spinal  cord. 


168 


1912 — His  most  important  work:  arthro-plasty,  surgery  of  bones,  joints 
and  tendons. 

1916 — Murphy   clinics  published  with   operations  and  lectures. 

Of  Dr.  Murphy,  Dr.  George  W.  Crile  has  said:  "The  place  of  American 
surgery  abroad  is  due  more  to  the  brilliant  discoveries  of  Murphy  and  their 
forceful  presentation  than  to  the  work  of  any  other  American ;  and  he  taught 
the  world  what  it  knows  about  abdominal  surgery  and  the  surgery  of  tu- 
berculosis, the  blood  vessels,  and  bones  and  joints." 

To  this  is  added  the  tribute  of  La  Place,  the  noted  French  surgeon: 
"Murphy  died  at  the  pinnacle  of  American  surgery  and  has  found  a  niche 
among  the  great  surgeons  of  all  times." 

Among  Dr.  Murphy's  published  writings  were  "Actinomycosis  Hominis" 
(he  was  the  first  surgeon  in  America  to  recognize  the  disease),  "Gun- 
shot Wounds  of  the  Abdomen,"  "Early  Operation  in  Perityphlitis,"  "Early 
Operation  in  Appendicitis,"  "Original  Experimental  Researches  in  the  Sur- 
gery of  the  Gall  Bladder  and  Intestinal  Tract"  (illustrating  the  application 
of  his  anastomosis  button),  "Ileus,  Its  Diagnosis  and  Treatment,"  and  "The 
Year-Book  of  Surgery." 

He  was  a  member  of  the  American  Medical  Association,  the  Illinois 
State  and  Chicago  Medical  Societies,  the  American  Association  of  Ob- 
stetricians and  Gynecologists,  a  fellow  of  the  American  Surgical  Asso- 
ciation, a  member  of  the  Southern  Surgical  and  Gynecological  Association, 
and  the  Western  Surgical  Association,  a  member  of  the  Deutsche  Gesell- 
schaft  fur  Chirurgie,  an  honorary  member  of  the  Societie  de  Chirurgie  and 
a  member  of  many  other  scientific  bodies. 

He  was  president  of  the  Chicago  Medical  Society,  1904-05 ;  president 
of  the  American  Medical  Association,  1911-12;  and  president  of  the  Clinical 
Congress  of  Surgeons  of  North  America  (now  the  Clinical  Congress  of  the 
American  College  of  Surgeons),  1914-15.  He  was  one  of  the  founders  and 
most  earnest  supporters  of  the  American  College  of  Surgeons  and  was  a 
member  of  the  board  of  regents  from  its  organization  in  1913  until  his 
death. 

In  recognition  of  his  work  he  was  awarded  the  Laetare  medal  by  Notre 
Dame  University  in  1902.  He  also  received  the  following  degrees  and 
titles : 

A.  M.,  St.  Ignatius  College;  LL.  D.,  University  of  Illinois;  LL.  D., 
Catholic  University  of  America;  D.  Sc.,  University  of  Sheffield,  England; 
and  Fellow  of  the  Royal  College  of  Physicians  and  Surgeons.  In  1916  the 
Pope  made  him  Knight  Commander  of  the  Order  of  Saint  Gregory  the 
Great. 

On  November  25,  1885,  Dr.  Murphy  married  Miss  Jeanette  C.  Plamondon 
of  Chicago,  who,  with  three  daughters,  survive  him.  They  are  Mrs.  Cecile 
N.  Benedict,  Mrs.  Mildred  L.  Hurley  and  Mrs.  Celeste  Murdock.  Mrs. 
Murphy  died  July  12,  1921. 

For  several  months  prior  to  his  death  at  Mackinac  Island,  Michigan, 
August  11,  1916,  Dr.  Murphy  had  been  in  poor  health.  The  cause  of  death, 
as  disclosed  by  the  autopsy,  was  aortitis  with  sclerosis  of  the  coronary 
artery. 


HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO  169 

NATHAN     SMITH     DAVIS,     II 
(1858-1920) 

Distinguished  son  of  a  distinguished  father,  Dr.  Nathan  Smith  Davis,  II, 
was  born  in  Chicago,  September  5,  1858. 

After  a  preliminary  education  in  private  schools,  he  was  graduated  with 
the  degree  of  A.  B.  from  Northwestern  University  in  1880,  receiving  an 
A.  M.  degree  from  the  same  institution  in  1883.  In  the  latter  year  he  also 
received  his  physician's  diploma  from  the  Chicago  Medical  College,  the 
medical  department  of  the  university. 

Dr.  Davis  pursued  a  post-graduate  course  at  Heidelberg  and  Vienna  and, 
upon  his  return,  was  appointed  assistant  professor  of  pathology  in  the  Chi- 
cago Medical  College.  In  1886  he  became  professor  of  the  principles  and 
practice  of  medicine  and  the  following  year  professor  of  clinical  medicine. 
For  many  years  he  was  secretary  and  subsequently  dean  of  the  faculty  of 
the  Northwestern  University  Medical  School. 

He  was  physician  to  Mercy,  Wesley  and  St.  Luke's  hospitals.  He  was 
for  many  years  first  vice-president  of  the  United  States  Pharmacopoeia  con- 
vention and  was  a  member  of  the  board  until  the  time  of  his  death.  He  was 
also  a  member  of  the  section  of  medicine  of  the  Pan-American  Medical  Con- 
gress and  councilor  of  the  section  of  pathology  of  the  Ninth  International 
Medical  Congress. 

Dr.  Davis  was  one  of  the  organizers  of  the  Society  of  Medical  History  of 
Chicago  in  1909,  and  was  active  in  the  affairs  of  many  other  medical  and 
scientific  organizations.  Among  these  were  the  American  Medical  Asso- 
ciation, the  American  Association  for  the  Advancement  of  Science,  the 
American  Therapeutic  Society,  the  American  Academy  of  Medicine,  the 
Illinois  State  and  Chicago  Medical  societies,  the  Chicago  Pathological 
Society,  the  Chicago  Neurological  Society,  the  American  Tuberculosis 
Society,  the  Chicago  Tuberculosis  Institute  and  the  Intitute  of  Medicine  of

he  was  attending  laryngologist  and  rhinologist  to  St.  Luke's  and  Wesley 
Memorial  hospitals. 

He  was  a  member  of  the  American  Medical  Association,  a  member  and 
president  of  the  American  Laryngological  Society  and  president  of  the  Chi- 
cago Laryngological  Society.  He  was  active  in  the  affairs  of  the  American

vived him.  He  died  at  his  summer  home  at  Lake  Forest,  111.,  July  11,  1915. 

MAXIMILIAN    JOSEPH     HERZOG 
(1858-1918) 

Student  and  pathologist,  Dr.  Maximilian  Joseph  Herzog  was  indefatigable 
in  research. 

Dr.  Herzog  was  born  at  Frankfort-on-Main,  September  17,  1858.  An  eager 
desire  for  a  scientific  career  prompted  him  to  leave  the  bank  of  Speyer  &  Co., 
where  he  was  employed,  to  spend  the  next  three  years  at  the  Universities  of 
Giessen,  Strassburg  and  Marburg  as  a  student  of  biology,  chemistry  and 
physics. 

Coming  to  the  United  States  in  1882,  Dr.  Herzog  engaged  in  newspaper 
work  in  St.  Louis  and  Cincinnati.  While  so  employed  he  studied  in  the  Medi- 
cal College  of  Ohio,  from  which  he  was  graduated  in  1890.  Choosing  otology, 
rhinology  and  laryngology  as  his  specialty,  he  spent  the  following  two  years 
in  post  graduate  study  in  the  Universities  of  Wiirzburg,  Munich,  Leipzig, 
Berlin  and  Vienna.  He  returned  to  the  United  States  in  1892  and  practiced 
medicine  in  Cincinnati  until  1894,  when  he  came  to  Chicago.  In  the  latter 
year  he  married  Seraphina  Ernau  of  Berlin,  Germany.  From  1896  until  1903 
he  was  pathologist  at  the  Policlinic  Hospital  and  while  there  made  valuable 
contributions  to  scientific  knowledge. 

In  1903  Dr.  Herzog  went  to  Manila  as  pathologist  to  the  Bureau  of  Science. 
There  he  made  an  exhaustive  study  of  tropical  diseases  and  in  1906  he  was 
sent  from  Manila  to  Japan  to  investigate  beri-beri.  His  findings  were  widely 
published. 

Upon  his  return  to  Chicago  he  was  appointed  an  expert  to  examine  into 
the  sanitation  of  the  stock  yards.  At  the  same  time  he  became  professor 
and  bacteriologist  in  the  Chicago  Veterinary  College.  He  held  this  position 
until  1913.  In  these  years  Dr.  Herzog  prepared  an  elaborate  text  book  on 
comparative  pathology,  which  has  not  been  published.  For  three  years  he 
was  pathologist  to  Michael  Reese  Hospital  and  later  he  was  on  the  staff  of 
the  German,  Alexian  Brothers  and  North  Chicago  hospitals. 

In  1912  he  became  professor  of  pathology  in  the  medical  department  of 
Loyola  University  and  in  1913  he  was  elected  dean  of  the  department,  a 
position  he  held  until  his  retirement  in  1916.  In  1914  he  was  appointed  chief 
of  the  department  of  pathology  of  Cook  County  Hospital. 

He  was  a  member  of  many  societies,  including  the  American  Medical  Asso- 
ciation, the  Chicago  and  Illinois  State  Medical  societies,  the  Society  of  Medi- 
cal History  of  Chicago,  the  Chicago  Pathological  Society,  of  which  he  was 
president  in  1902-03;  and  the  Chicago  German  Medical  Society,  of  which  he 


172  HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO 

was  twice  president.  He  was  also  a  Fellow  of  the  American  Association  of 
Pathology,  American  Society  of  Bacteriologists,  American  Association  for 
Cancer  Research,  American  Association  of  Anatomists,  American  Micro- 
scopical Society,  American  Society  of  Internal  Medicine  and  the  American 
Association  for  the  Advancement  of  Science.  He  was  also  first  lieutenant  in 
the  Medical  Reserve  Corps  of  the  United  States  Army. 

In  1916  he  became  a  director  of  the  Municipal  Tuberculosis  Sanitarium, 
where  he  died,  August  9,  1918,  from  chronic  interstitial  nephritis. 

Among  Dr.  Herzog's  published  writings  was  a  "Text  Book  on  Disease- 
Producing  Micro-Organisms." 


JOSEPH     ZEISLER 
(1858-1919) 

Dr.  Joseph  Zeisler,  dermatologist,  was  born  in  Bielitz,  Austrian  Silesia,  Oc- 
tober 7,  1858,  a  son  of  Isaac  and  Anna  (Kanner)  Zeisler.  He  entered  the 
medical  department  of  the  University  of  Vienna  in  October,  1876,  and  for  five 
years  studied  under  the  guidance  of  Professors  Billroth,  Arlt  and  Braun, 
graduating  July  3,  1882.  As  an  interne  he  entered  the  General  Hospital  of 
Vienna,  devoting  his  time  especially  to  diseases  of  the  skin  under  Professor 
Kaposi. 

He  served  one  year  as  lieutenant  surgeon  in  the  Austrian  army  in  1883-4 
and  was  promoted  to  the  rank  of  first  lieutenant  surgeon.  In  1884  he  came 
to  Chicago,  where,  on  June  25,  1885,  he  married  Miss  Theresa  Feuchtmann. 

From  1888  to  1895  Dr.  Zeisler  was  professor  of  skin  and  venereal  diseases 
at  the  Post-Graduate  Medical  School.  He  was  called  to  the  chair  of  derma- 
tology in  the  Woman's  Medical  College  in  the  spring  of  1889  and  in  the  fall 
of  the  same  year  he  was  chosen  professor  of  skin  and  venereal  diseases  at 
Northwestern  University  Medical  School.  He  was  chief  dermatologist  to 
Mercy,  Wesley  and  Michael  Reese  hospitals  and  the  South  Side  Dispensary. 

He  was  president  for  one  term  of  both  the  German  Medical  Society  of  Chi- 
cago and  the  American  Dermatological  Association.  He  was  an  active  mem- 
ber of  several  other  professional  organizations,  including  the  American  Med- 
ical Association,  the  Chicago  and  Illinois  State  Medical  societies,  the  Chicago 
Dermatological  Society,  the  International  Dermatological  Congress  and  the 
Dermatological  Society  of  Germany,  and  corresponding  member  of  the  Vi- 
enna Dermatological  Society  and  the  Dermatological  Association  of  Italy. 
He  was  also  a  member  of  the  Cliff  Dwellers  and  the  Chicago  Literary  and 
City  clubs. 

Dr.  Zeisler  died  August  31,  1919.  He  was  survived  by  his  widow  and  three 
children,  Dr.  Erwin  Paul  Zeisler,  who  succeeded  his  father  in  the  practice  of 
his  specialty;  Miss  Anita  Lucille  Zeisler,  who  became  Mrs.  Edwin  B.  Mayer; 
and  Miss  Doris  Josephine  Zeisler. 

Following  the  death  of  Dr.  Zeisler,  the  following  tribute  was  paid  to  him 
by  Dr.  G.  Frank  Lydston: 

"By  the  death  of  Dr.  Zeisler,  the  medical  profession  has  lost  one  of  its  most 
notable  figures.  Brilliant,  scholarly,  always  the  high  bred  gentleman,  he  was 
a  credit  alike  to  the  community  and  to  his  chosen  profession.  Few  men  are  so 
broadly  cultured,  or  so  scientifically  well  grounded  in  medicine  as  was  Dr. 
Zeisler.  His  charm  of  manner  and  his  accomplishments  won  for  him  the 
admiration  and  esteem  of  all  who  knew  him."

FLORENCE    W.     HUNT 
(1858-1903) 

Dr.  Florence  W.  Hunt  was  prominent  in  medical  affairs  in  Chicago  dur- 
ing her  comparatively  short  career.  Born  in  1858,  she  was  graduated  from 
the  Woman's  Medical  College  of  Chicago  in  1884. 

She  was  resident  physician  at  the  Cook  County  Insane  Hospital  during 
its  stormiest  days.  She  was  also  a  member  of  the  attending  staffs  of  St. 
Joseph's  and  Cook  County  Hospitals. 

She  was  one  of  the  founders  and  most  active  members  of  the  Medical 
Women's  Club  of  Chicago,  and  also  held  membership  in  the  American 
Medical  Association  and  the  Chicago  Medical  and  Illinois  State  Medical 
societies. 

She  died  in  St.  Mary's  Hospital,  Milwaukee,  Wisconsin,  May  27,  1903. 
She  numbered  many  staunch  friends  in  and  outside  of  the  medical  profes- 
sion, having  the  faculty  of  making  intimates  of  men,  as  well  as  of  her 
women  associates.  This  was  at  a  time  when  women  generally  were  not 
welcomed  into  the  profession. 

WALTER     SHIELD     CHRISTOPHER 
(1859-1905) 

Founder  of  the  system  of  medical  inspection  in  the  Chicago  public  schools, 
Dr.  Walter  Shield  Christopher  was  a  pediatrician  whose  abilities  were 
signalized  by  his  election  to  the  presidency  of  the  American  Pediatric  Society 
in  1902. 

Dr.  Christopher  was  born  at  Newport,  Ky.,  March  14,  1859.  He  was 
graduated  from  the  Medical  College  of  Ohio  in  1883.  In  this  institution  he 
was  appointed  demonstrator  of  chemistry.  He  was  also  consulting  chemist 
to  the  Rookwood  Pottery  in  Cincinnati,  perfecting  there  some  of  the  glazes 
that  have  enhanced  the  fame  of  Rookwood  ware. 

On  Christmas  Day,  1884,  Dr.  Christopher  married  Miss  Henrietta  Wen- 
deroth.  In  1890  he  was  called  to  the  chair  of  the  theory  and  practice  of 
medicine  at  the  University  of  Michigan  at  Ann  Arbor. 

After  serving  a  year  at  Ann  Arbor,  Dr.  Christopher  was  appointed  pro- 
fessor of  diseases  of  children  at  the  Chicago  Policlinic.  In  1892  he  was 
appointed  to  a  similar  position  in  the  College  of  Physicians  and  Surgeons  of 
Chicago.  From  this  time  he  devoted  himself  to  pediatrics. 

For  fourteen  years  prior  to  his  death,  Dr.  Christopher  was  an  attending 
physician  at  the  Children's  Memorial  Hospital  and  was  active  in  its  develop- 
ment A  bed  in  the  hospital  with  an  endowment  of  $10,000  stands  in  his 
name. 

Dr.  Christopher  had  become  a  member  of  the  American  Pediatric  Society 
in  1889  and  in  1902  was  elected  president  of  that  organization.  From  1898 
to  1900  he  was  a  member  of  the  board  of  education  in  Chicago  and  was 
instrumental  in  establishing  a  system  of  medical  inspection  in  the  public 
schools  and  also  a  child  study  department. 

Dr.  Christopher  died  March  2,  1905.  A  son,  Dr.  Frederick  Christopher, 
ten  years  later  became  a  Chicago  physician. 

Of  Dr.  Christopher,  Dr.  Frank  Billings  once  wrote: 

"Dr.  Christopher  is  not  an  ordinary  man.  He  is  not  satisfied  with  look- 
ing into  the  ordinary  every-day  pathology  of  diseases  of  children,  but  he 
is  constantly  on  the  alert  for  things  which  the  ordinary  man  does  not  see.

HENRY    BAIRD    FAVILL 


FRIEDRICH    CURT   HARNISCH 


HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO  175 

"For  this  reason  he  has  sometimes  been  called  a  'faddist,'  but  this  cannot 
be  applied  to  him,  for  he  is  sure  to  look  with  a  common  sense  view  at  every- 
thing, and  the  unique  things  which  he  investigates  he  adds  to  and  makes 
fit  into  his  everyday  practice.  He  has  done  much  for  the  growing  child,  and 
especially  has  he  worked  in  a  sensible  and  epoch-making  way  for  the  school 
children  of  Chicago." 

HENRY     BAIRD     FAVILL 
(1860-1916) 

Known  to  Chicagoans  both  as  an  important  figure  in  the  medical  profes- 
sion and  for  his  active  interest  in  civic  affairs,  Dr.  Henry  Baird  Favill  also 
achieved  a  reputation  that  was  national  in  character. 

He  was  born  in  Madison,  Wis.,  August  14,  1860,  the  son  of  Dr.  John  and 
Louise  Sophia  (Baird)  Favill.  His  first  paternal  American  ancestor  was 
John  Favill,  who  came  from  England  before  the  Revolution  and  fought  in 
the  Continental  Army. 

On  the  maternal  side,  Dr.  Favill  was  descended  from  the  Ottawa  Chief 
Kewinoquot  (Returning  Cloud)  and  was  proud  of  his  Indian  ancestry.  In 
later  years,  when  his  wife  was  elected  a  Colonial  Dame,  Dr.  Favill  was 
asked  whether  he  could  not  qualify  for  the  Society  of  Mayflower  Descend- 
ants. "No,"  was  the  retort.  "My  people  were  on  the  reception  committee." 

After  graduating  from  the  University  of  Wisconsin  in  1880,  he  attended 
Rush  Medical  College  where  he  received  his  degree  in  1883.  Following  an 
interne  service  at  Cook  County  Hospital,  he  returned  to  Madison  to  begin 
practice  with  his  father.  The  latter  died  in  a  few  months. 

In  1885  Dr.  Favill  married  Miss  Susan  Cleveland  Pratt  of  Brooklyn,  N.  Y., 
and  continued  general  practice  in  Madison  until  1894.  During  this  period  he 
lectured  on  medical  jurisprudence  at  the  University  of  Wisconsin. 

Leaving  a  large  practice,  he  came  to  Chicago  in  1894,  accepting  simulta- 
neous calls  to  the  professorship  of  medicine  in  the  Chicago  Policlinic  and  to 
an  adjunct  professorship  of  medicine  in  Rush  Medical  College.  From  this 
latter  post  he  was  promoted  in  1898  to  the  Ingals  Professorship  of  Preventive 
Medicine  and  Therapeutics,  and  in  1906  became  Professor  of  Clinical  Medicine. 

His  plan  to  do  considerable  research  work  in  Chicago  was  never  fulfilled. 
Within  a  year  he  had  become  immersed  in  an  extensive  practice  in  internal 
medicine  which  continued  to  grow  as  time  passed.  His  hospital  connec- 
tions were  with  the  Augustana,  Passavant  Memorial  and  St.  Luke's  Hospi- 
tals. Most  of  his  work  was  done  at  the  latter  institution. 

In  addition  to  his  regular  medical  work,  Dr.  Favill  devoted  great  energy 
in  later  years  to  problems  of  public  health,  civic  reform  and  agriculture.  At 
various  times  he  was  president  of  the  following  bodies:  Medical  Board  of 
St.  Luke's  Hospital,  Chicago  Medical  Society,  Chicago  Tuberculosis  Insti- 
tute, City  Club,  Municipal  Voters'  League,  National  Committee  for  Mental 
Hygiene,  and  National  Dairy  Council.  He  was  an  influential  member  of 
the  American  Association  for  Labor  Legislation  and  the  National  Associa- 
tion for  the  Study  and  Prevention  of  Tuberculosis.  For  some  years  he  was 
a  Trustee  of  the  Chicago  Bureau  of  Public  Efficiency  and  a  Director  of  the 
United  Charities. 

His  membership  in  medical  organizations  included  the  Chicago  Medi- 
cal, Chicago  Neurological  and  Chicago  Pathological  societies,  Society  of 
Internal  Medicine,  Institute  of  Medicine,  Society  of  Medical  History,  Phy- 
sicians' Club,  Illinois  State  Medical  and  Wisconsin  State  Medical  societies 


176  HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO 

and  American  Medical  Association.  In  the  latter  he  was  Chairman  of  the 
Council  on  Health  and  Public  Instruction. 

Among  his  clubs  were  the  University,  City,  Saddle  and  Sirloin,  and  Com- 
mercial. He  was  the  first  man  without  commercial  connections  in  Chicago 
to  be  elected  to  the  latter  organization.  He  belonged  to  the  Beta  Theta  Pi, 
Nu  Sigma  Nu,  and  Phi  Beta  Kappa  fraternities.  He  held  the  rank  of  First 
Lieutenant  in  the  Medical  Reserve  Corps.  The  University  of  Wisconsin 
in  1915  conferred  on  him  the  degree  of  Doctor  of  Laws. 

Dr.  Favill's  published  articles  and  addresses  covered  a  wide  range  of  topics. 
Of  these,  the  most  important  and  influential  was  probably  "The  Public  and 
the  Medical  Profession,  a  Square  Deal,"  given  before  the  Pennsylvania  State 
Medical  Society  in  1915  and  in  which  he  surveyed  conditions  of  practice  and 
expressed  his  own  ideals. 

Of  striking  appearance,  due  to  his  Indian  type,  splendid  physique  and 
erect  carriage,  he  commanded  confidence  everywhere.  Contact  with  his 
strength  inspired  strength  and  insincerity  was  shamed  in  his  stalwart  pres- 
ence. He  loved  life  in  the  open  and  did  a  great  deal  of  walking,  seldom  wear- 
ing an  overcoat  in  winter.  He  never  owned  an  automobile.  His  tastes  were 
simple  and  he  was  a  man  of  moderate  habits  in  all  but  work.  His  mind  was 
keenly  analytical  and  his  memory  remarkable.  His  vigorous  thinking,  clear 
vision,  sense  of  justice  and  force  of  personality  made  him  a  most  valued 
executive,  and  his  insight,  sympathy  and  scientific  acumen  ensured  his  pro- 
fessional success. 

He  hoped  to  retire  and  devote  himself  to  his  model  dairy  farm  at  Lake 
Mills,  Wis.,  but  during  a  visit  to  Springfield,  Mass.,  where  he  had  gone  to 
attend  an  agricultural  conference,  he  contracted  pneumonia  and  died,  Febru- 
ary 20,  1916,  leaving  his  widow  and  one  son,  Dr.  John  Favill. 

FRIEDRICH     CURT     HARNISCH 
(1860-1918) 

A  graduate  of  the  University  of  Leipzig  and  first  assistant  to  Prof.  Coccius, 
Dr.  Friedrich  Curt  Harnisch  came  to  Chicago  in  1891,  to  take  up  the  practice 
of  ophthalmology,  in  which  he  was  to  gain  an  unusual  success. 

He  was  born  at  Teuchern,  Germany,  December  1,  1860.  After  his  pre- 
liminary education  under  the  direction  of  his  father,  who  was  a  prominent 
schoolman,  he  followed  his  medical  studies  at  the  Universities  of  Halle,  Frei- 
burg and  Leipzig.  After  graduation,  his  teacher  in  ophthalmology,  Prof. 
Coccius,  offered  him  an  assistantship  on  the  University  Eye  Clinic  of  Leipzig. 
He  accepted  and  finally  advanced  to  a  first  assistantship,  which  he  held  for 
a  number  of  years. 

Immediately  after  the  publication  of  Prof.  Roentgen's  epochal  invention  of 
radiography  in  December,  1895,  Dr.  Harnisch  became  deeply  interested  in 
this  new  science  and  with  Dr.  Otto  L.  Schmidt  started  the  first  successful 
X-ray  laboratory  in  America  in  January,  1896,  having  been  fortunate  in  secur- 
ing an  8-inch  spark  coil  that  had  been  made  for  laboratory  purposes  and  had 
stood  on  the  manufacturer's  shelves  for  years  unsold.  Through  this  coil 
successful  pictures  were  soon  made,  but  on  account  of  Dr.  Harnisch's  devo- 
tion to  ophthalmology  and  the  rapid  specialization  of  roentgenology,  the 
laboratory  was  sold  in  June,  1896,  to  Mr.  W.  C.  Fuchs,  who  became  one  of 
the  earliest  pioneers  in  high  grade  skiagraph  work,  but  paid  for  his  zeal  and 
constant  work  with  the  X-ray  apparatus  by  his  death  through  an  X-ray 
cancer. 


HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO  177 

Dr.  Harnisch  thereafter  devoted  all  his  time  to  eye  work  exclusively.  He 
was  attending  occulist  to  Alexian  Brothers,  St.  Elizabeth's  and  German  hos- 
pitals and  he  was  a  member  of  the  Chicago  Medical  Society,  American  Medi- 
cal Association,  Illinois  State  Medical  and  German  Medical  societies. 

He  was  a  man  most  punctual  in  the  performance  of  even  the  smallest  of 
his  duties  and  he  was  revered  by  his  patients  to  an  unusual  degree. 

Dr.  Harnisch  married  Miss  Anna  Haferkorn,  who  with  a  son,  Walter,  and 
daughter,  Martha,  now  Mrs.  William  Zellweger,  survived  him. 

He  died  May  25,  1918,  of  pneumonia. 

JULIA     DYER     MERRILL 
(1861-1914) 

A  pediatrician  of  distinction,  Dr.  Julia  Dyer  Merrill  was  devoted  to  the 
welfare  of  the  children  of  the  poor. 

She  was  born  at  Saco,  Maine,  March  11,  1861  and  was  educated  in  the 
public  schools  of  that  town.  For  two  years  she  taught  school  before  entering 
a  training  school  for  nurses  at  New  Haven,  Connecticut,  where  she  was 
graduated. 

She  took  a  post  graduate  course  at  the  New  York  Lying-in  Hospital  and 
for  two  years  was  superintendent  of  the  North  Adams  (Mass.)  Training 
School  for  Nurses.  Thereupon  she  devoted  three  years  to  the  study  of  medi- 
cine at  Wooster  (Ohio)  University.  She  was  graduated  from  the  Woman's 
Medical  School  of  Northwestern  University  in  1895. 

In  practice  she  made  pediatrics  her  specialty.  She  also  taught  in  the  depart- 
ment of  pediatrics  in  Rush  Medical  College  from  1897  to  1913. 

She  was  a  member  of  the  staffs  of  the  Presbyterian,  the  Tabitha,  the  Chicago 
Maternity,  the  Mary  Thompson  and  the  Maimonides  hospitals.  She  also  de- 
voted much  time  to  the  Lincoln  Park  Sanitarium  for  babies,  the  Jackson  Park 
Sanitarium  and  the  Marks  Nathan  Jewish  Orphanage. 

Dr.  Merrill  was  a  co-worker  of  Dr.  Alfred  C.  Cotton  for  several  years  and 
assisted  him  in  the  compilation  of  his  works  on  the  diseases  of  children.  She 
was  a  member  of  the  milk  commission  of  the  Chicago  Medical  Society  and 
much  of  the  success  of  the  enterprise  was  said  to  be  due  to  her  efforts.  She 
was  also  a  member  of  the  leading  professional  societies. . 

She  died  in  Chicago,  May  18,  1914. 

FRANK     HUGH     MONTGOMERY 
(1862-1908) 

Dermatologist  and  associate  of  Dr.  James  Nevins  Hyde,  Dr.  Frank  Hugh 
Montgomery  was  at  the  peak  of  a  useful  career  in  Chicago  when  a  yacht 
which  he  was  sailing  on  Lake  Michigan  was  overturned  and  he  was  drowned. 

He  was  born  at  Fair  Haven,  Minnesota,  January  6,  1862.  After  he  com- 
pleted his  academic  education  at  the  University  of  Michigan,  he  was 
graduated  from  Rush  Medical  College  in  1888.  He  was  professor  of  derma- 
tology in  the  Chicago  Clinical  School  and  associate  professor  of  skin  and 
genito-urinary  diseases  in  Rush  Medical  College. 

For  several  years  he  was  associated  with  Dr.  James  Nevins  Hyde  in  the 
compilation  of  medical  works.  Dr.  Montgomery  was  dermatologist  to 
St.  Elizabeth's,  Presbyterian  and  St.  Anthony  de  Padua  Hospitals. 

He  was  a  member  of  the  American  Dermatological  Congress,  the  American 
Physicians'  and  Surgeons'  Association,  the  American  Medical  Association, 
the  Illinois  State  and  the  Chicago  Medical  societies,  the  Chicago  Pathological

Society,  and  the  Physicians'  Club.  He  was  also  an  organizer  of  the  Chicago 
Dermatological  Society. 

It  was  while  sailing  on  Lake  Michigan  near  his  summer  home  in  Michigan, 
July  14,  1908,  that  Dr.  Montgomery  encountered  a  squall  and  was  drowned 
while  trying  to  save  a  companion  who  had  been  thrown  with  him  into  the 
water  by  the  capsizing  of  a  boat. 

On  January  11,  1897,  Dr.  Montgomery  married  Miss  Caroline  L.  William- 
son. There  were  three  children,  Hamilton,  Charlotte  and  Mary  Louise 
Montgomery. 

CARL    WAGNER 
(1863-1921) 

Dr.  Carl  Wagner  was  born  April  14,  1863,  near  the  cathedral  city  of 
Worms,  Rhine-Phalz,  Germany,  the  eldest  son  of  Philip  Henry  Wagner,  a 
naturalized  American  citizen.  The  father  had  come  to  the  United  States  in 
1848,  but  had  returned  to  Germany  in  1859. 

The  future  surgeon's  preliminary  education  was  received  in  the  towns  of 
Frankenthal,  Speyer  and  Landau.  His  parents  destined  him  for  the  min- 
istry and,  after  winning  a  scholarship  in  the  Lutheran  seminary  at  Utrecht, 
he  consented  to  continue  the  study  of  theology,  provided  he  might  go  to 
America  to  do  so.  Consequently,  the  scholarship  was  transferred  to  a 
Lutheran  seminary  in  St.  Louis  and  he  sailed  for  America  in  1882. 

A  chance  meeting  with  a  chemist  in  New  York  City  changed  the  course 
of  Dr.  Wagner's  life.  He  entered  the  drug  trade,  in  which  he  remained  for 
five  years,  serving  as  apprentice,  manager  and  owner  of  drug  stores.  In  1887 
he  began  the  study  of  medicine  and  the  succeeding  four  years  were  spent 
in  the  Universities  of  Munich,  Geneva,  Halle,  Berlin  and  Heidelberg.  He 
received  his  medical  degree  from  the  last-named  university  in  1891. 

Almost  immediately  he  returned  to  America  and  settled  in  Detroit,  but  a 
year  later  he  came  to  Chicago,  where  he  soon  established  himself  as  a  sur- 
geon. He  early  became  a  member  of  the  surgical  staff  of  St.  Joseph's  Hos- 
pital and  continued  in  that  position  until  his  death.  He  was  also  consulting 
surgeon  to  the  Municipal  Tuberculosis  Sanitarium  and  the  Columbus  and 
Cook  County  hospitals. 

For  many  years  Dr.  Wagner  was  professor  of  surgery  and  demonstrator 
of  anatomy  in  the  Post-Graduate  Medical  School  of  Chicago  in  the.  days 
when  it  was  on  the  west  side.  He  also  served  as  professor  of  extramural 
surgery  in  Rush  Medical  College. 

He  was  an  active  member  of  the  Chicago  Medical  Society,  having  served 
as  president  of  the  north  side  branch,  and  at  the  time  of  his  death  was  a 
member  of  the  council.  He  was  also  a  Fellow  of  the  American  College  of 
Surgeons  and  a  member  of  the  American  Medical  Association,  the  Illinois 
State  Medical  Society  and  the  Chicago  Pathological  Society. 

In  1894  he  married  Miss  Louisa  Ottilie  Carll.  There  were  a  son  and 
daughter,  Carl  and  Louisa  Wagner,  who  followed  their  father  in  the  practice 
of  medicine.  A  brother,  Henry  E.  Wagner,  is  also  a  north  side  physician. 
Dr.  Wagner  died  March  11,  1921.

1868,  the  daughter  of  Andrew  Burnside  and  Rachel  Elizabeth  Robertson 
White.  Her  parents  moved  to  Iowa  in  1876  and  a  year  later  to  Chicago. 

After  her  graduation  from  the  Austin  High  School  she  attended  Oberlin 
College  from  1884  to  1887.  She  later  entered  the  Woman's  Medical  College 
of  Chicago,  from  which  she  was  graduated  in  1892.  After  serving  as  an  in- 
terne in  the  Woman's  Hospital  she  began  the  practice  of  medicine. 

She  was  an  instructor  in  gynecology  in  the  Post-Graduate  Medical  School 
and  for  two  years  was  superintendent  of  the  Charity  Hospital,  later  becom- 
ing assistant  to  Dr.  Henry  T.  Byford.  She  also  held  clinics  for  several 
years  in  the  Mary  Thompson  Hospital. 

She  was  a  member  of  the  American  Medical  Association,  the  Chicago  and 
Illinois  State  Medical  Societies,  the  Society  of  Medical  History  of  Chicago 
and  the  Medical  Women's  Club. 

Dr.  White  died  July  6,  1918. 

THEODORE  BERNARD  SACHS 
(1868-1916) 

Dr.  Theodore  Bernard  Sachs,  physician,  public  health  worker  and  tuber- 
culosis specialist,  was  born  in  Dinaberg,  Russia,  May  2,  1868,  the  son  of 
Bernard  and  Sophia  Sachs,  of  Jewish  faith.  After  being  graduated  from  the 
Kherson  High  School,  he  received  a  degree  in  law  in  1891  from  the  Imperial 
New  Russian  University  of  Odessa.  Emigrating  to  America  shortly  after- 
ward, he  came  to  Chicago,  where  he  worked  his  way  through  the  College  of 
Physicians  and  Surgeons,  from  which  he  was  graduated  in  1895.  During  his 
freshman  year  he  received  the  highest  honor  in  his  class,  the  faculty  medal. 

After  an  interneship  of  two  years  at  the  Michael  Reese  Hospital,  Dr.  Sachs 
established  an  office  at  Twelfth  and  Halsted  streets  in  order  to  serve  the 
sick  poor,  both  in  private  practice  and  in  the  clinics  of  the  Jewish  Aid  Dis- 
pensary, the  first  in  Chicago  to  be  devoted  exclusively  to  the  examination 
and  treatment  of  pulmonary  tuberculosis.  Here  he  served  more  than  ten 
years. 

In  1903  Dr.  Sachs  began  intensive  studies  of  the  prevalence  and  incidence  of 
tuberculosis  among  children  of  tuberculous  parents  in  a  small  congested 
area  near  his  office.  Charts  of  these  studies,  made  in  collaboration  with  his 
wife,  Mrs.  Lena  Louise  Wilson  Sachs,  received  honorable  mention  at  the 
International  Tuberculosis  Congress  in  Washington  in  1908. 

In  1905  Dr.  Sachs  became  attending  physician  at  the  Glencoe  camp,  the 
first  in  Illinois  for  poor  tuberculous  patients.  From  this  crude  beginning 
there  was  developed  a  winter  camp  at  Dunning  and  the  Edward  Sanatorium 
at  Naperville,  of  which  he  was  director  and  examining  physician  from  1906 
until  his  death,  in  1916. 

From  this  period  Dr.  Sachs  gave  the  greater  part  of  his  time  to  free 
tuberculous  work,  serving  as  director  and  president  of  the  Chicago  Tuber- 
culosis Institute ;  from  1909  as  secretary  and  later  president  of  the  Municipal 
Tuberculosis  Commission,  and  in  1915-16  as  president  of  the  National  Asso- 
ciation for  the  Study  and  Prevention  of  Tuberculosis.  He  was  also  attending 
physician  at  the  Chicago-Winfield  Sanitarium,  examining  physician  for  the 
Jewish  National  Consumptives'  hospital  at  Denver  and  the  founder  and  first 
president  of  the  Robert  Koch  Society  for  the  Study  of  Tuberculosis. 

The  establishment  of  a  municipal  tuberculosis  institution,  in  which  any 
consumptive,  regardless  of  his  pecuniary  condition,  could  receive  adequate 


182  HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO 

scientific  treatment,  for  years  had  been  Dr.  Sachs'  chief  aim  and  for  four 
years,  beginning  in  1911,  he  devoted  from  two  to  six  hours  each  day  to  his 
work  as  chairman  of  the  committee  on  plans  for  the  Municipal  Tuberculosis 
Sanitarium,  funds  for  which  had  been  made  available  under  the  Glackin  law. 

The  beneficent  project  had  hardly  been  well  launched  when  Dr.  Sachs 
began  to  encounter  what  he  believed  to  be  sinister  political  influences  that 
menaced  his  cherished  undertaking.  These  conditions  so  wrought  upon  him 
that  on  April  2,  1916,  he  committed  suicide  at  the  Edward  Sanatorium. 

Without  Dr.  Sachs'  utter  devotion  to  the  work  of  controlling  tuberculosis 
in  Chicago,  the  campaign  would  unquestionably  have  lagged.  As  physician 
selected  by  the  Visiting  Nurse  Association  to  carry  on  the  work  of  their 
tuberculosis  committee,  he  so  impressed  his  co-workers  with  the  importance 
of  the  problem  that  a  separate  organization,  the  Chicago  Tuberculosis  Insti- 
tute, was  formed  to  fight  tuberculosis  in  Chicago.  Dr.  Sachs  was  for  several 
years  president  of  the  Institute.  He  later  organized  a  committee  of  the 
Institute  to  investigate  the  County  Tuberculosis  Hospital  at  Oak  Forest.  As  a 
result  of  the  constructive  criticism  emanating  from  his  committee,  an  ade- 
quate medical  and  nursing  corps  was  given  the  hospital,  to  the  great  good 
of  its  patients. 

Dr.  Sachs  was  connected  with  every  important  public  health  activity  in 
any  way  connected  with  tuberculosis  in  Cook  County.  He  was  a  born  leader, 
a  tireless  worker  and  a  man  whose  code  was  ever  strict  where  moral  courage 
and  honesty  of  purpose  were  involved.  His  untimely  death  came  as  the  cul- 
mination of  his  struggle  against  the  self-seeking  politicians  whose  character 
he  could  not  comprehend.  After  his  death,  charges  of  malfeasance  in  the 
conduct  of  the  Municipal  Sanitarium  were  proved  to  be  without  foundation. 

ADOLPH     GEHRMANN 
(1868-1920) 

The  province  of  Dr.  Adolph  Gehrmann  was  the  laboratory,  where  he  was 
a  pioneer  in  many  fields  of  bacteriological  study.  He  will  also  be  remembered 
as  the  organizer  of  the  bureau  of  food  inspection  of  the  city  of  Chicago. 

Born  in  Decatur,  111.,  July  19,  1868,  he  came  to  Chicago  in  1884.  After  his 
graduation  from  the  South  Division  High  School  in  1887,  he  entered  the 
Chicago  Medical  College,  from  which  he  was  graduated  in  1890.  He  then 
served  two  years  as  interne  in  Cook  County  Hospital,  and,  after  pursuing 
special  studies  in  bacteriology  and  chemistry,  he  was  appointed  demonstrator 
in  the  College  of  Physicians  and  Surgeons  of  Chicago  and  professor  of  bac- 
teriology in  the  Post-Graduate  Medical  School. 

Beginning  in  January,  1893,  Dr.  Gehrmann  made  an  extensive  eastern  trip 
to  procure  data  for  the  establishment  of  a  bureau  of  food  inspection  for  the 
city  of  Chicago,  and  spent  a  year  thereafter  in  organizing  that  department, 
of  which  he  was  superintendent  from  1894  to  1903.  In  the  former  year  he 
established  the  Columbus  Medical  Laboratories,  of  which  he  became  presi- 
dent. 

In  1894  Dr.  Gehrmann  was  elected  professor  of  bacteriology  and  hygiene  in 
the  College  of  Physicians  and  Surgeons  and  served  for  twenty-five  years. 
Resigning  on  account  of  ill  health,  he  was  made  professor  emeritus. 

He  was  a  member  of  the  American  Public  Health  Association,  the  Ameri- 
can Medical  Association,  the  Illinois  State  and  Chicago  Medical  societies,  the 
Illinois  State  Academy  of  Medicine,  the  Chicago  Academy  of  Sciences,  the 


HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO  183 

German   Medical  Society,  the   Chicago  Pathological  Society  and  the   Lake 
Michigan  Water  Commission. 

On  December  24,  1910,  Dr.  Gehrmann  married  Miss  Albertina  Marianne 
Weinstein  of  Milwaukee,  who  survived  him  upon  his  death,  October  3,  1920. 

HOWARD     TAYLOR     R1CKETTS 
(1871-1910) 

Dr.  Howard  Taylor  Ricketts  sacrificed  his  life  to  the  cause  of  medical 
science. 

Successful  research  in  the  causation  of  spotted  fever  in  Montana  prompted 
him  to  undertake  in  Mexico  a  similar  investigation  of  typhus  fever,  which 
in  many  ways  resembles  it.  In  his  zeal  he  encountered  dangers  that  brought 
about  his  death  in  the  prime  of  a  career  that  promised  to  parallel  that  of 
Walter  Reed,  "who  gave  to  man  control  of  that  fearful  scourge,  yellow 
fever." 

Dr.  Ricketts  was  born  at  Findlay,  Ohio,  February  9,  1871.  He  passed 
his  youth  in  Nebraska  and  was  graduated  in  arts  from  the  University  of 
Nebraska  in  1894.  Three  years  later  he  received  his  medical  degree  from 
the  Northwestern  University  Medical  School.  During  his  student  days  it 
was  necessary  for  him  to  earn  money  during  vacations  to  carry  him  through 
school. 

After  serving  as  interne  at  Cook  County  Hospital,  he  was  successively 
fellow  and  instructor  in  pathology  in  Rush  Medical  College.  Returning 
from  a  year's  visit  to  Europe  in  1902,  he  became  an  instructor  in  the  newly 
established  department  of  pathology  and  bacteriology  in  the  University  of 
Chicago,  later  being  appointed  assistant  professor  of  pathology.  Shortly  be- 
fore his  death  he  was  called  to  the  chair  of  pathology  in  the  University  of 
Pennsylvania.  This  position  he  never  held. 

In  1906,  while  on  a  vacation  enforced  by  overwork,  he  became  interested 
in  the  mysterious  disease  called  Rocky  Mountain  spotted  fever.  He  proved 
the  erroneousness  of  certain  views  as  to  its  etiology  and  showed  that  the 
ailment  was  conveyed  to  man  by  the  accidental  bite  of  an  infected  adult 
tick.  In  1909  he  discovered  what  seemed  to  be  the  immediate  cause  of 
spotted  fever — a  small  bacillus,  which  he  found  in  the  blood  of  patients  and 
in  ticks. 

Owing  to  the  similarity  of  typhus  fever,  he  felt  that  his  three  years'  study 
of  spotted  fever  especially  fitted  him  for  investigation  of  tabardillo,  or  Mex- 
ican typhus.  In  Mexico  City,  to  which  he  went,  tabardillo  claimed  hundreds 
of  victims  annually,  including  a  high  percentage  of  physicians  and  nurses. 
Dr.  Ricketts  fully  understood  the  dangers  to  which  he  would  be  exposed, 
but  braved  them  in  the  interest  of  medical  science. 

In  a  year  he  found  that  Mexican  typhus  is  communicated  by  the  body 
louse  and  that  it  could  be  conveyed  to  monkeys,  in  which  he  also  produced 
an  immunity.  While  pushing  this  and  other  work  to  completion,  he  was 
stricken  with  tabardillo  and  died  May  3,  1910. 

In  1900  Dr.  Ricketts  married  Miss  Myra  Tubbs,  from  whom  he  received 
much  help  and  encouragement.  With  two  children,  she  survived  him. 

The  Mexican  government  had  Dr.  Ricketts'  works  on  Mexican  typhus 
collected  and  published  in  Spanish  in  a  handsome  volume  of  135  pages  en- 
titled "Howard  Taylor  Ricketts  y  sus  Trabajos  sobre  el  Tabardillo."  The 
laboratory  in  Mexico  in  which  he  did  his  work  was  named  after  him. 


184  HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO 

The  Chicago  Pathological  Society  published  in  1911  a  volume  of  497  pages 
entitled  "Contributions  to  Medical  Science  by  Howard  Taylor  Ricketts"  and 
containing  the  classical  studies  by  Dr.  Ricketts  on  oidiomycosis  of  the  skin, 
lymphatotoxic  and  neurotoxic  sera,  tetanus,  Rocky  Mountain  fever  and  Mex- 
ican typhus.  i 

Dr.  Ricketts  was  president  of  the  Chicago  Pathological  Society  in  1905-06 
and  frequently  contributed  to  its  programs.  He  wrote  a  book  on  "Infection, 
Immunity  and  Serum  Therapy,"  which  was  published  by  the  American 
Medical  Association  Press  in  1908. 

A  fund  in  the  University  of  Chicago  has  been  established  by  Mrs.  Rick- 
etts, known  as  the  "Howard  T.  Ricketts  Prize,"  which  is  awarded  annually 
for  the  best  piece  of  research  presented  by  any  student  in  the  department  of 
pathology  and  bacteriology.  The  departments  of  pathology  and  of  hygiene 
and  bacteriology  in  the  University  of  Chicago  are  housed  in  the  Howard 
Taylor  Ricketts  Laboratory. 

Some  of  the  personal  qualities  of  Dr.  Ricketts  are  well  summarized  by 
Dr.  Ludvig  Hektoen : 

"He  was  a  modest  and  unassuming  man  of  great  determination  and  of  the 
highest  character,  loyal  and  generous,  earnest  and  genuine  in  all  his  doings 
— a  personality  of  unusual  and  winning  charm.  He  deliberately  turned  away 
from  the  allurement  of  active  medical  practice  to  devote  himself  to  teaching 
and  investigation  in  pathology." 

MORTIMER     FRANK 
(1874-1919) 

Of  equal  importance  to  the  practice  of  his  chosen  specialty  was  the 
literary  side  of  medicine  in  the  mind  of  Dr.  Mortimer  Frank,  late  secretary 
of  the  Society  of  Medical  History  of  Chicago. 

"He  toiled  early  and  late  to  make  this  organization  a  center  for  all  who 
were  interested  in  the  struggles  and  accidents  of  our  professional  progress," 
Dr.  Charles  B.  Reed  has  written,  "and  strove  to  make  the  records  of  those 
events  and  of  current  history  so  ineffaceable  that  they  could  be  interpreted 
easily  by  future  generations. 

"It  was  a  fortunate  thing  for  medical  history  when  Dr.  Frank  made  it 
his  hobby.  Into  these  antiquarian  channels  of  medical  history  he  poured  a 
fine  and  an  irresistible  enthusiasm,  and  so  earnestly  that  at  the  time  of  his 
death  he  had  accomplished  a  literary  work  that  was  remarkable  not  only 
in  the  amount,  but  in  the  high  standard  attained." 

Dr.  Frank  was  born  in  Buffalo,  New  York,  May  26,  1874,  the  son  of 
Joseph  H.  and  Fannie  Goldsmith  Frank.  After  being  graduated  in  civil 
engineering  from  the  Massachusetts  Institute  of  Technology  in  1897,  he 
entered  the  College  of  Physicians  and  Surgeons  of  Chicago,  from  which  he 
received  his  medical  degree  in  1900. 

Beginning  the  practice  of  ophthalmology  after  graduation,  he  became 
attending  ophthalmologist  at  Michael  Reese  Hospital.  In  1915  he  became 
secretary  of  the  Society  of  Medical  History  and  editor  of  its  Bulletin,  con- 
tinuing in  this  capacity  until  his  death. 

He  was  a  member  of  the  American  Medical  Association  and  the  Chicago 
Medical  and  Illinois  State  Medical  societies.  From  1910  to  1913  he  served 
as  a  director  of  the  Chicago  Public  Library.

On  October  4,  1905,  he  married  Miss  Donie  Katz  of  Chicago.  There  were 
two  children,  Mary  Elizabeth  and  Katherine  Jane  Frank. 

Among  Dr.  Frank's  papers  in  the  study  of  medical  history  were  "Philip 
Syng  Physick,"  "Caricature  in  Medicine"  and  "Medicine  in  English  Litera- 
ture Before  the  Eighteenth  Century."  In  1916  he  began  the  translation  of 
Choulant's  "History  of  Anatomical  Illustration,"  one  of  the.  classics  of 
medical  literature.  The  translation  was  completed,  but  the  work  was  yet  in 
press  when  he  died  April  21,  1919. 

The  books  of  his  library,  numbering  about  3,000  volumes,  were  disposed 
of  to  the  University  of  Chicago,  while  his  accumulation  of  portraits,  prints 
and  catalogues  went  to  the  Surgeon-General's  Library  at  Washington. 

ST ANTON    ABELES     FRIEDBERG 
(1875-1920) 

Succeeding  Dr.  Mortimer  Frank  as  secretary  of  the  Society  of  Medical 
History  of  Chicago,  Dr.  Stanton  Abeles  Friedberg  lived  but  a  little  over  a 
year  after  the  death  of  his  predecessor.  During  that  period  he  gave  unspar- 
ingly of  his  time  and  energy  to  the  work  of  the  society. 

He  was  born  in  Chicago,  Decem- 
ber 1,  1875,  the  son  of  Cass  and 
Laura  Abeles  Friedberg.  With  the 
exception  of  the  first  year,  his  boy- 
hood was  spent  in  Leavenworth, 
Kansas.  He  attended  the  public 
schools  and  then  went  to  the  Uni- 
versity of  Michigan  for  the  term  of 
1892-93.  In  the  latter  year  he  en- 
tered Rush  Medical  College,  from 
which  he  was  graduated  in  1897. 

After  a  year's  interneship  in  the 
German  Hospital  of  Chicago,  he  be- 
gan the  practice  of  general  medi- 
cine and  in  1900  began  his  first  work 
in  oto-laryngology  as  an  assistant  to 
the  late  Dr.  E.  Fletcher  Ingals.  In 
1903  he  received  an  appointment  to 
the  staff  of  Cook  County  Hospital. 
In  1906,  by  civil  service  examina- 
tion, he  became  attending  oto-laryn- 
gologist  at  Cook  County  Hospital, 
holding  this  position  until  1913, 
when  he  became  chief  of  the  ear,  nose  and  throat  department  in  the  same 
institution.  He  continued  in  this  capacity  until  October,  1919. 

In  1905  he  was  made  assistant  instructor  in  the  department  of  ear,  nose 
and  throat  in  Rush  Medical  College,  and  two  years  later  he  became  con- 
sulting oto-laryngologist  to  the  Durand  Hospital  of  the  John  McCormick 
Institute  for  Infectious  Diseases.  Here  he  did  his  best  piece  of  work, 
that  on  tonsillectomy  in  diphtheria  carriers,  later  carrying  forward  this 
work  while  a  medical  officer  during  the  World  War.  In  1909  he  began 
his  work  at  the  Presbyterian  Hospital,  advancing  from  the  rank  of  assistant 
to  attending  laryngologist.

In  November,  1917,  he  was  commissioned  Major  in  the  Medical  Corps, 
U.  S.  A.,  and  served  eight  months  in  the  Base  Hospital  at  Camp  Doniphan, 
Fort  Sill,  Oklahoma.  The  following  September  he  went  to  France,  where 
he  served  eight  months.  He  received  his  discharge  May  1,  1919. 

Dr.  Friedberg  was  the  author  of  thirty  or  more  published  papers  relating 
to  his  specialty.  He  was  a  member  of  the  American  College  of  Surgeons, 
the  American  Medical  Association,  the  American  Laryngological  Associa- 
tion, the  American  Laryngological,  Rhinological  and  Otological  Society, 
the  American  Medical  Association,  the  Chicago  Medical  and  Illinois  State 
Medical  societies,  the  Chicago  Laryngological  and  Otological  Society  and 
the  American  Academy  of  Ophthalmology  and  Oto-Laryngology. 

On  October  23,  1906,  he  married  Miss  Aline  Liebman  of  Shreveport, 
Louisiana.  She  and  three  children,  Jean,  Louise  and  Stanton  A.  Fried- 
berg,  Jr.,  survived  him  upon  his  death,  May  27,  1920. 

Of  Dr.  Friedberg  a  colleague  has  written :  "He  was  the  first  to  remove 
the  tonsils  and  adenoids  as  a  measure  to  cure  diphtheria  bacillus  carriers. 
He  was  acknowledged  by  professional  laryngologists  as  the  most  expert  in 
Chicago  in  the  removal  of  foreign  bodies  from  the  respiratory  tract.  His 
interest  in  medical  history  was  real,  and  not  only  that  of  one  who  enjoys 
the  possession  of  rare  things."

*RUSH     MEDICAL    COLLEGE 
IN     1843 

A  little  school  domiciled  in  two  rented  rooms,  an  adjunct  to  which  was 
a  rude  shed  where  students  learned  an  important  part  of  the  sixteen  weeks' 
curriculum. 

IN     1922 

A  component  of  one  of  the  greatest  universities  in  the  world  and  a  large 
factor  in  one  of  the  most  elaborate  projects  for  the  advancement  of  medical 
education  ever  conceived. 

Such,  in  little  more  than  three-quarters  of  a  century,  has  been  the  progress 
of  Rush  Medical  College,  whose  founder  in  his  introductory  address  at  the 
first  session  of  the  college,  December  4,  1843,  had  said,  "We  believe  the 
school  we  this  day  open  is  destined  to  rank  among  the  permanent  institu- 
tions of  the  state.  It  will  pass  into  other  and  better  hands,  it  will  live  on, 
identified  with  the  interests  of  a  great  and  prosperous  city." 

Before  Chicago  had  a  corporate  existence  Rush  Medical  College  had  been 
chartered  in  February,  1837,  by  the  general  assembly  of  Illinois. 

It  is  the  first  charter  for  an  institution  of  learning  granted  by  the  legisla- 
ture of  the  state  and  it  is  the  oldest  charter  under  which  any  school  of  any 
kind  is  now  in  operation  in  Illinois. 

*This  history  is  based  principally  upon  data  derived  from  "The  History  of  Rush  Medical  College," 
written  in  1896  by  Doctors  Norman  Bridge  and  John  Edwin  Rhodes:  "The  Making  of  a  Modern  Medical 
School:  A  Sketch  of  Rush  Medical  College,"  written  in  1901  by  Dr.  Rhodes;  and  "The  Affiliation  of  Rush 
Medical  College  with  the  University  of  Chicago,"  written  by  Dr.  -John  M.  Dodson  and  published  in  the 
Bulletin  of  the  Alumni  Association  of  Rush  Medical  College. 


190  HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO 

In  1836  Chicago  was  a  vigorous,  prosperous  young  community  of  3,000 
persons.  But  two  bridges  spanned  the  creek  called  the  Chicago  River.  The 
houses  were  primitive  and  of  flimsy  construction.  The  sidewalks  were 
"duck-boards"  and  in  rainy  weather  the  streets  were  bogs,  almost  impassable. 
"No  bottom"  signs  frequently  were  stuck  in  the  ooze  of  Lake  Street,  the 
principal  thoroughfare.  There  were  neither  sewers  nor  drains  and  drinking 
water  was  carried  from  the  lake  and  the  river  in  pails  and  barrels. 

The  faith  of  its  denizens  was  profound.  From  1833  to  1836  the  town 
had  grown  seventeen  fold.  Some  day  this  remarkable  village  would  have 
a  population  of  100,000!  The  vast  prairies  of  its  hinterland  were  rich  and 
fertile.  The  town  was  at  the  head  of  navigation  on  Lake  Michigan  and  a 
water  way  was  to  join  the  lake  and  the  Mississippi  River.  Days  of  great 
abundance  were  near  and  against  the  time  of  prosperity  and  expansion,  a  city 
charter  was  planned. 

In  this  stirring  epoch  came  to  Chicago  a  young  doctor  from  "York  State," 
as  Chicagoans  called  it  then.  He  was  Daniel  Brainard.  He  had  been  two 
years  with  a  preceptor  in  Whitesboro,  New  York.  He  had  studied  a  year 
at  a  medical  college  in  Fairfield,  New  York.  Another  year  in  Jefferson 
Medical  College  in  1834  completed  his  preparation.  While  teaching  for  two 
years  he  acquired  a  knowledge  of  Latin  and  French  in  his  leisure  hours. 
He  was  a  man  of  rugged  character  and  of  high  ambition.  He  possessed  ' 
executive  force  to  an  exceptional  degree.  Says  a  commentator,  "With  a  fine 
presence,  dignified  and  a  trifle  austere,  but  active  and  industrious,  he  was 
bound  to  succeed  and  to  lead." 

Zeal  to  impart  his  science  and  art  to  others  possessed  the  young  pioneer. 
The  opportunity  to  pursue  his  plans  in  Chicago  seemed  exceptional.  So 
about  the  time  that  Eli  B.  Williams  and  other  leading-  inhabitants  of  the 
village  invoked  the  general  assembly  for  a  city  charter  Dr.  Brainard  peti- 
tioned the  legislature  for  a  charter  creating  Rush  Medical  College.  In  this 
he  was  aided  by  Dr.  J.  C.  Goodhue.  The  enabling  act  for  the  medical  school 
antedated  the  grant  to  the  city  of  Chicago  by  several  days. 

There  was  inspiration  in  the  name  of  Rush.  In  1776  Benjamin  Rush  had 
been  a  member  of  the  provisional  conference  of  Pennsylvania  and  chairman 
of  the  committee  which  reported  to  Congress  that  it  was  expedient  to  pro- 
claim the  separation  of  the  colonies  from  the  British  Crown.  A  month  later 
he  was  a  signer  of  the  Declaration  of  Independence.  He  was  a  professor 
of  the  theory  and  practice  of  medicine  at  the  University  of  Pennsylvania, 
1789-1791,  and  from  1797  to  1813  he  was  professor  of  clinical  practice. 

A  patriot  and  a  pioneer  in  American  medicine  had  furnished  a  proud 
name  for  what  was  to  become  one  of  the  great  medical  schools  of  the  nation. 
Although  the  name  Rush  was  always  the  official  name  of  the  school,  Brainard, 
with  local  pride,  usually  referred  to  it  as  the  Medical  School  of  Chicago. 

Though  the  panic  of  1837  seriously  hindered  his  plans,  Dr.  Brainard  had 
begun  to  teach  anatomy  and  surgery  privately  to  a  few  students.  It  was 
not  until  the  fall  of  1843,  however,  that  he  and  his  associates  felt  warranted 
in  actually  launching  the  college.  Some  of  the  faculty  had  to  be  sum- 
moned from  distant  communities.  Dr.  John  McLean,  professor  of  the  theory 
and  practice  of  medicine,  came  from  his  home  in  Jackson,  Michigan,  and 
Dr.  M.  L.  Knapp,  of  the  chair  of  obstetrics  and  diseases  of  women  and  chil- 
dren, journeyed  from  Waynesville,  Illinois,  Dr.  James  V.  Z.  Blaney,  pro- 


HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO  191 

fessor  of  chemistry  and  materia  medica,  was  the  only  member  of  the  faculty 
besides  Dr.  Brainard  who  resided  in  Chicago. 

The  first  annual  announcement  of  Rush  Medical  College  was  issued  about 
the  end  of  October,  1843.  It  proclaimed,  "The  Rush  Medical  College  was 
chartered  by  the  legislature  of  Illinois  in  1837,  but  its  organization  has  been 
deferred  to  the  present  time  when  the  interest  of  the  medical  profession 
requires  its  being  carried  into  full  operation.  The  superior  facilities  for  medical 
instruction  presented  by  Chicago  cannot  be  denied  by  anyone  acquainted 
with  the  different  towns  in  this  region.  The  trustees  have  determined  to  lay 
the  foundation  of  a  medical  school  whose  means  of  teaching  shall  be  ample 
iti  all  the  different  branches,  which  shall  be  permanent  and  adequate  to  the 
wants  of  the  community,  and  which  shall  in  all  respects  advance  the  interest 
and  honor  of  the  profession." 

But  sixteen  weeks  comprised  the  term  of  instruction  which  was  begun 
December  4,  1843.  To  obtain  the  degree  of  doctor  of  medicine  the  require- 
ments were  three  years  of  study  with  a  respectable  physician  and  two  courses 
of  lectures,  the  latter  in  Rush  Medical  College.  Two  years  of  practice  were 
to  be  accepted  in  lieu  of  one  course.  It  was  necessary  that  the  candidate  be 
twenty-one  years  old,  that  he  have  a  good  moral  character  and  that  he 
present  a  thesis  on  some  medical  subejct  of  his  own  composition  and  "in 
his  own  handwriting,"  which  should  be  approved  by  the  faculty. 

The  regular  fees  amounted  to  $65  and  the  graduating  fee  was  $20.  Pros- 
pective students  were  assured  that  good  board  could  be  obtained  in  Chicago 
at  $2  to  $2.50  a  week. 

The  teaching  of  the  first  course  was  done  by  four  men.  As  a  rule  four 
lectures  were  delivered  each  day.  There  is  nothing  to  indicate  that  physi- 
ology was  taught.  Anatomy  was  thoroughly  expounded,  and  chemistry  was 
presented  theoretically.  The  lectures  were  given  to  twenty-two  students 
in  two  small  rooms  in  the  "Saloon"  building  at  the  southeast  corner  of 
Clark  and  Lake  Streets.  There  was  one  graduate. 

Public  spirited  citizens  had  given  the  college  a  lot  at  the  southeast  corner 
of  Indiana  (Grand  Avenue)  and  Dearborn  streets  and  in  the  summer  of  1844 
a  building  was  erected  on  the  site  at  a  cost  of  $3,500.  In  the  center  was  a 
dome  and  the  general  aspect  of  the  structure  was  such  as  to  earn  for  it  from 
the  late  Dr.  J.  Adams  Allen  the  name  of  the  "rat-trap." 

The  second  course  at  Rush  was  made  notable  by  the  lectures  of  the  bril- 
liant Austin  Flint,  who  had  become  professor  of  the  institutes  and  practice 
of  medicine.  Dr.  Flint  then  announced  many  of  the  doctrines  of  ethics 
which  later  were  incorporated  into  the  code  of  the  American  Medical  Asso- 
ciation. Dr.  W.  B.  Herrick  became  lecturer  on  anatomy  at  this  time,  thus 
permitting  Dr.  Brainard  to  devote  all  his  time  to  surgery. 

Fifty-one  surgical  cases  and  operations  were  exhibited  to  the  class  during 
the  session  of  1846-47.  The  college  clinic  was  growing.  Among  the  stu- 
dents at  this  term  were  Joseph  W.  Freer  and  Ephraim  Ingals,  both  of  whom 
in  later  years  were  to  render  distinguished  service  to  their  alma  mater. 
Now  was  established  a  public  hospital  to  be  under  the  care  of  members  of 
the  faculty,  who  gave  a  regular  course  of  clinical  instruction.  From  Decem- 
ber 1,  1846,  to  June  23  following,  four  hundred  and  forty-two  cases  were 
attended  at  the  hospital  and  the  dispensary  connected  with  it. 


192  HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO 

The  college,  as  well  as  the  city,  was  prospering  and  expanding.  New 
talent  was  sought  for  the  school  and  in  1849  Dr.  N.  S.  Davis  was  summoned 
from  New  York  City  to  occupy  the  chair  of  physiology  and  pathology  and 
Dr.  Thomas  Spencer  of  Geneva  Medical  College  (N.  Y.)  took  the  place 
of  Dr.  G.  G.  Fitch  in  the  chair  of  principles  and  practice  of  medicine.  For 
Dr.  Spencer  it  was  said,  "It  may  be  added  that  he  is  familiar  with  the 
various  forms  of  malarious  diseases  from  observation  in  the  middle  west 
as  well  as  in  the  district  of  his  former  practice."  This  was  especially  urged 
at  a  time  when  malarial  disease  was  prevalent  in  the  region  of  Chicago. 
The  only  good  treatment  was  quinine,  which  in  those  days  sometimes  cost 
$5  an  ounce. 

Dr.  Davis,  to  be  known  in  later  years  as  the  "Nestor  of  the  American 
Medical  Association,"  was  described  in  the  college  anonuncements  as  "the 
originator  of  a  plan  for  a  National  Association  whose  influence  in  the  cause 
ot  icform  and  improvement  had  already  been  beneficially  felt."  Dr.  Joseph 
W.  Freer  succeeded  Dr.  J.  B.  Herrick,  a  brother  of  Dr.  W.  B.  Herrick,  as 
demonstrator  of  anatomy  in  1850  and  it  was  not  long  before  Dr.  Davis 
became  professor  of  pathology,  practice  of  medicine  and  clinical  medicine ; 
Dr.  W.  B.  Herrick  assumed  the  department  of  physiology  and  Dr.  Brainard 
was  announced  as  professor  of  surgery  and  clinical  surgery.  Dr.  Herrick 
was  in  charge  of  the  United  States  Marine  Hospital,  which  was  located  on 
the  east  side  of  Michigan  Avenue,  near  River  Street,  and  which  had  been 
started  in  1850-51.  The  Illinois  General  Hospital  of  the  Lakes  about  this 
time  was  established  in  the  old  Lake  House  at  the  corner  of  North  Water 
and  Rush  Streets.  There  Dr.  Brainard  had  charge  of  the  surgical  service 
and  Dr.  Davis  of  the  medical.  In  1851-2  the  Hospital  of  the  Lakes  passed 
under  the  care  of  the  Sisters  of  Mercy  and  thenceforth  it  was  known  as 
Mercy  Hospital. 

Teaching  of  anatomy  was  assumed  in  1855  by  Dr.  Joseph  W.  Freer.  Dr. 
Hosmer  A.  Johnson  became  professor  of  materia  medica  and  medical  juris- 
prudence and  Dr.  Edmund  Andrews,  lecturer  on  comparative  anatomy  and 
demonstrator.  It  was  at  this  time  that  the  college  was  rebuilt  at  an  expense 
of  $15,000.  It  now  had  a  capacity  of  250  students. 

The  year  1857  witnessed  the  accession  to  the  faculty  of  Dr.  William  Heath 
Byford  of  Evansville,  Indiana,  who  became  professor  of  obstetrics  and  dis- 
eases of  women. 

/  In  1859  occurred  the  schism  that  resulted  in  separation  from  the  faculty 
/of  Doctors  N.  S.  Davis,  W.  H.  Byford,  J.  H.  Hollister  and  H.  A.  Johnson. 
(  Dr.  Davis  and  his  party  had  vigorously  advocated  changes  in  policy  which 
/  included,  among  other  things,  a  graded  course  of  instruction.  Dr.  Brainard 
and  others  spiritedly  opposed  the  innovations.  There  had  also  been  certain 
"incompatibilities."  The  seceding  members  at  once  founded  the  Medical 
Department  of  Lind  University,  later  known  as  the  Chicago  Medical  Col- 
lege, and  which  finally  became  the  Northwestern  University  Medical  School. 
They  took  with  them  the  clinical  service  of  Mercy  Hospital. 

Now  came  to  Rush,  as  the  result  of  the  departure  of  Dr.  Davis  and  his 
colleagues,  several  distinguished  teachers,  among  whom  were  Dr.  Jonathan 
Adams  Allen,  professor  of  medicine ;  Dr.  De  Laskie  Miller,  professor  o{ 
obstetrics,  and  Dr.  Robert  L.  Rea,  professor  of  anatomy,  the  last-named  in 
place  of  Dr.  Freer,  transferred  to  the  new  department  of  surgical  and 


HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO 


microscopic  anatomy.  At  this  time  Dr.  Ephraim  Ingals  became  professor 
of  muteria  medica  and  medical  jurisprudence.  The  City  Hospital  now  be- 
came the  clinical  field  of  instruction  instead  of  Mercy  Hospital.  However, 
during  the  civil  war,  the  City  Hospital  was  commandeered  as  a  military 
eye  and  car  hospital.  \Yhen  it  was  restored  to  local  authority  it  passed 
under  the  control  of  the  county  government,  .the  city  council  having  dis- 
covered that  it  was  under  no  legal  obligation  to  maintain  a  public  hospital. 
The  institution  became  known  as  the  County  Hospital  and  was  continued 
at  the  same  location,  Eighteenth  and  Arnold  streets.  Several  years  later 
a  new  and  larger  hospital,  predecessor  of  the  one  now  existing,  was  erected 
on  the  ground  bounded  by  Wood,  Polk,  Lincoln  and  Harrison  streets.  In 
1867  Dr.  Joseph  Presley  Ross  became  a  clinical  lecturer  in  Rush  College 
and  Dr.  Henry  M.  Lyman  was  designated  as  pathologist. 

In  1866  Rush  Medical  College  suffered  a  great  loss  in  the  death  of  Pro- 
fessor Brainard.  He  had  gone  to  Europe  in  the  spring,  his  health  seriously 
impaired.  He  returned  in  the  autumn  much  improved  and  resumed  his 
lectures  with  accustomed  vigor.  Chicago  was  then  in  the  grip  of  the 
cholera  epidemic.  On  October  9  at  5:00  P.  M.,  Dr.  Brainard  lectured  on 
the  subject  of  surgery.  He  digressed  for  a  moment  to  comment  on  the 
prevalent  disease.  During  the  same  night  he  was  himself  attacked  by  the 
malady  and  died  the  next  evening. 

Of  Dr.  Brainard,  Dr.  John  Edwin  Rhodes  has  written  :  "From  the  time 
of  the  opening  of  Rush  College  until  his  death  he  served  it  with  pre-eminent 
ability.  He  was  noted  for  his  eloquence  in  the  lecture  room  and  on  the 
platform,  and  was  distinguished  as  an  operator  and  original  investigator. 
His  experimental  work  on  the  use  of  iodine  in  surgery  and  on  bone  repair 
made  him  famous.  He  received  deserved  recognition  during  his  life  time, 
and,  while  easily  the  most  commanding  figure  in  medicine  and  surgery  in 
this  great  northwest,  he  should  be  classed  among  the  most  eminent  men  of 
his  time  in  American  medical  history." 

Dr.  James  V.  Z.  Blaney  now  followed  Dr.  Brainard  as  president  and  Dr. 
Moses  Gunn,  for  many  years  professor  of  surgery  at  the  University  of 
Michigan,  succeeded  to  the  chair  of  surgery  left  vacant  by  the  lamented 
president.  At  this  time  Dr.  Edward  L.  Holmes  was  announced  as  a  lecturer 
on  ophthalmology  and  otology. 

A  new  chair  of  clinical  medicine  and  diseases  of  the  chest  was  created 
after  the  commencement  of  1868  and  Dr.  J.  P.  Ross  was  designated  as  the 
incumbent.  Dr.  Charles  T.  Parkes,  a  graduate  of  a  few  weeks,  succeeded 
Dr.  William  Lewitt  as  demonstrator  of  anatomy.  For  twenty-three  years 
Dr.  Parkes  kept  to  this  course.  He  died  in  harness  as  the  sole  professor  of 
surgery.  The  writing  of  a  thesis  as  a  condition  of  graduation  was  aban- 
doned at  this  time. 

Fn  the  winter  of  1868-69  there  was  issued  a  little  four-page  announcement 
of  the  spring  course  of  lectures  for  1869.  The  lectures  were  to  continue 
from  March  3  to  July  1.  Dr.  Blaney  was  to  teach  practical  chemistry,  and 
Doctors  Gunn  and  Ross  were  to  give  "Cliniques."  The  teaching  corps 
consisted  in  addition  of  the  following  named  men,  with  their  branches 
respectively:  W.  R.  Marsh,  instructor  in  principles  and  practice  of  medicine; 
J.  H.  Etheridge,  instructor  in  materia  medica  ;  C.  T.  Parkes,  instructor  in 
anatomy;  H.  M.  Lyman.  instructor  in  physiology;  C.  T.  Fenn,  instructor  in 
obstetrics;  I.  N.  Danforth.  instructor  in  toxicology  and  medical  jurispru-

dence ;  H.  F.  Chesbrough,  demonstrator  of  anatomy,  and  W.  C.  Hunt,  in- 
structor in  microscopic  anatomy  and  the  use  of  the  microscope.  Dr.  Edwin 
Powell  was  treasurer,  and  the  fee  for  the  course  was  $20.  Twenty  students 
attended  this  spring  course. 

The  twenty-seventh  annual  circular  appeared  in  1869  with  few  variations 
from  the  previous  one.  Dr.  Holmes  was  announced  as  professor  of  ophthal- 
mology. The  following  year  his  designation  was  professor  of  diseases  of 
the  eye  and  ear. 

Owing  to  ill  health  Dr.  Blaney  retired  from  the  presidency  in  1871.  Dr. 
Joseph  W.  Freer,  the  senior  member  of  the  faculty,  succeeded  him.  At  this 
time  Dr.  Lyman  was  appointed  to  the  professorship  of  chemistry  and 
pharmacy.  Dr.  Ingals  resigned  the  chair  of  materia  medica  and  Dr.  Ethe- 
ridge  was  elected  to  the  position. 

The  course  of  1871-1872  was  cut  short  by  the  great  fire  of  October  8 
and  9.  Students  were  scattered  with  the  great  army  of  homeless  citizens 
and  Rush  Medical  College  existed  only  as  a  legal  entity.  The  site  was 
covered  by  a  huge  pile  of  brick  and  twisted  iron  in  which  Dr.  Freer  found 
the  half  melted  stand  of  his  microscope  and  various  pieces  of  chemical 
apparatus,  now  preserved  in  the  college. 

The  dauntless  Chicago  spirit  was  nowhere  better  exemplified  than  among 
the  faculty  members  of  Rush.  In  a  few  days  the  classes  were  reassembled 
and  the  course  resumed.  In  this  behalf  the  authorities  of  Cook  County 
Hospital  tendered  the  use  of  a  clinical  amphitheater  for  a  lecture  room  and 
the  Chicago  Medical  College  invited  Rush  to  employ  its  dissecting  room. 
Both  offers  were  Accepted  and  with  these  facilities  the  courses  were  car- 
ried on. 

For  a  long  time  the  fact  that  the  college  was  two  miles  distant  from  Cook 
County  Hospital  was  a  source  of  regret  to  the  members  of  the  faculty.  It 
was  apparent  that  the  time  would  soon  come  when  it  would  be  necessary 
to  erect  a  new  County  Hospital,  as  the  facilities  of  the  old  one  were 
entirely  inadequate  to  the  needs  of  the  fast  growing  city.  To  make  the 
utmost  out  of  the  large  range  of  illustrative  cases  such  as  are  offered  by  a 
County  Hospital  in  a  big  community,  it  was  decided  not  to  relocate  and 
rebuild  Rush  College  until  the  new  County  Hospital  was  erected. 

In  the  meantime  the  school  authorities  agreed  to  build  for  use  during  the 
period  of  waiting  a  temporary  structure.  In  this  way  the  celebrated  "col- 
lege under  the  sidewalk"  came  into  being.  To  a  considerable  degree  it 
actually  was  under  the  sidewalk,  although  it  rose  several  feet  above  it.  It 
was  a  rude  brick  building  with  a  tar  root.  It  contained  an  amphitheater 
and  a  laboratory  over  which  was  a  dissecting  room.  It  cost  less  than 
$4,000,  but  it  served  its  purpose  for  four  years. 

By  1875  the  construction  of  a  new  edifice  was  begun  at  the  corner  of 
Harrison  and  Wood  streets,  diagonally  opposite  the  County  Hospital.  The 
corner  stone  was  laid  with  the  ceremonies  of  the  Masonic  order  on  March 
20,  1875.  Grand  Master  Dewitt  C.  Cregier,  afterwards  mayor  of  Chicago, 
officiated  in  the  presence  of  a  large  assemblage.  The  orator  of  the  day  was 
the  eloquent  Dr.  J.  Adams  Allen.  The  new  building  and  lot  cost  in  the 
neighborhood  of  $75,000.  The  funds  were  contributed  largely  by  the  mem- 
bers of  the  faculty. 

Upon  the  death  of  Dr.  Freer  on  April  12,  1877,  Dr.  Allen  became  presi- 
dent of  the  college.  At  this  time  Dr.  Walter  S.  Haines  was  appointed  pro- 


HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO  195 

fessor  of  chemistry  and  toxicology  to  give  practically  his  whole  time  to  the 
college  work  in  this  department. 

Until  1877  the  only  clinical  work  at  the  college  building  was  that  in 
surgery.  Dr.  Gunn's  Saturday  afternoon  surgical  clinics  had  been  par- 
ticularly successful.  Now  came  a  new  epoch  when  these  additional  clinics 
were  inaugurated : 

Diseases  of  the  nervous  system,  Dr.  Lyman. 

Diseases  of  the  heart  and  lungs,  Dr.  Ross. 

Medicine,  Dr.  Norman  Bridge. 

These  clinics  were  held  once  a  week  throughout  the  year.  The  following 
year  Dr.  James  Nevins  Hyde  began  his  clinic  on  skin  and  venereal  diseases. 

In  1880  four  more  clinics  were  added  to  the  list,  one  by  Dr.  John  E. 
Owens  on  orthopedic  surgery,  one  on  diseases  of  children  by  Dr.  J.  Suydam 
Knox  and  Dr.  De  Laskie  Miller,  one  on  gynecology  by  Dr.  William  H. 
Byford  and  Dr.  Daniel  T.  Nelson  and  one  on  diseases  of  the  eye  and  ear 
by  Dr.  Edward  L.  Holmes.  In  1882  the  clinic  in  orthopedic  surgery  was 
dropped  from  the  list,  Dr.  Owens  having  resigned  his  chair. 

After  the  discontinuance  of  this  clinic  there  were  still  eight  of  at  least  an 
hour  each  every  week  of  the  year  and  in  eight  departments  of  medicine 
and  surgery.  In  1884  there  was  added  a  clinic  on  diseases  of  the  throat 
and  nose  by  Dr.  E.  Fletcher  Ingals,  which  was  later  enlarged  to  include 
diseases  of  the  chest.  At  the  same  time  a  second  clinic  on  surgery  was 
begun  by  Dr.  Gunn  which  Dr.  Parkes,  his  successor,  increased  to  three 
each  week.  In  1890  the  service  in  the  department  of  skin  and  venereal 
diseases  was  increased  to  two  clinics  a  week  of  an  hour  each. 

That  dentistry  is  a  specialty  of  medicine  was  recognized  by  the  college 
in  1882  when  the  teaching  of  dental  anatomy,  physiology,  pathology  and 
surgery  was  begun.  Dr.  W.  W.  Airport  was  appointed  emeritus  professor 
of  dental  pathology  and  surgery,  and  Dr.  Truman  W.  Brophy  actively  to 
the  same  chair  to  give  a  few  lectures  each  winter  on  these  subjects.  Dr. 
Eugene  S.  Talbot  was  appointed  lecturer  on  dental  anatomy  and  physiology 
in  the  spring  course.  Clinical  instruction  in  dentistry  was  given  in  the 
Central  Free  Dispensary. 

About  this  time  the  Chicago  Dental  Infirmary  was  established  by  several 
members  of  the  faculty  of  Rush  in  conjunction  with  the  dentists.  The  pur- 
pose was  to  teach  the  technical  branches  of  dentistry  to  medical  graduates 
only.  From  this  institution  later  was  evolved  the  Chicago  College  of 
Dental  Surgery. 

In  the  foundation  of  the  Presbyterian  Hospital,  Rush  Medical  College 
played  a  conspicuous  role.  Dr.  Joseph  Presley  Ross,  strongly  seconded  by 
several  members  of  the  faculty,  early  advocated  the  establishment  of  such 
an  institution.  Soon  the  support  of  all  the  members  of  the  faculty  was 
enlisted  and  in  furtherance  of  the  project  the  college  took  the  first  steps 
and  expended  the  first  money.  A  small  lot  was  bought  and  a  hospital  struc- 
ture planned.  This  undertaking  was  nearly  completed  before  it  was  known 
that  it  would  ever  pass  to  the  control  of  the  Presbyterian  denomination. 

Four  of  the  senior  members  of  the  faculty  died  between  1887  and  1890 
.".nd  their  passing  was  a  severe  loss  to  Rush.  Dr.  Gunn  died  on  November 
7,  1887,  Dr.  Byford  on  May  21,  1890,  Dr.  Ross  in  June,  1890.  and  Dr.  Allen 
in  the  autumn  of  the  same  year.  Dr.  Parkes  was  transferred  to  the  chair 
of  surgery  and  the  chair  of  anatomy  was  assumed  by  Dr.  Arthur  Dean 


196  HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO 

Be  van.  Dr.  James  H.  Etheridge  was  transferred  to  the  chair  of  gynecology 
and  Dr.  D.  R.  Brower  became  professor  of  mental  diseases,  materia  medica 
and  therapeutics  in  his  stead.  Dr.  Norman  Bridge,  who  had  been  for  several 
years  professor  sucessively  of  hygiene  and  of  pathology  and  adjunct  in 
practice  of  medicine,  was  transferred  to  the  chair  of  clinical  medicine  and 
allied  subjects. 

Dr.  Edward  L.  Holmes,  who  had  been  a  teacher  in  the  college  since 
1870,  followed  Dr.  Allen  in  the  presidency.  Shortly  before  Dr.  Nicholas 
Senn  had  been  appointed  professor  of  the  principles  of  surgery  and  surgical 
pathology  as  a  colleague  of  Dr.  Parkes.  He  resigned  in  1890,  but  on  the 
death  of  Dr.  Parkes  in  1891  he  was  appointed  professor  of  the  practice  of 
surgery  and  clinical  surger)^  Dr.  John  B.  Hamilton  being  at  the  same  time 
appointed  professor  of  the  principles  of  surgery  and  clinical  surgery.  In 
1893  Dr.  E.  Fletcher  Ingals  was  appointed  professor  of  laryngology. 

President  Holmes'  administration  was  vigorous  and  progressive.  "The 
impression  was  growing  in  the  faculty,  by  the  insistence  of  President  Holmes 
in  particular,  that  the  methods  of  teaching  needed  to  be  radically  changed," 
says  Dr.  John  Edwin  Rhodes.  "There  must  be  more  laboratory  work,  more 
practical  courses,  more  personal  teaching,  less  didactic  lecturing;  and  finally 
more  years  must  be  spent  in  the  college  study.  There  must  be  introduced 
into  this  medical  college  work  more  of  the  elements  of  manual  training, 
and  the  work  must  be  graded.  The  impression  grew  to  conviction  and  so 
in  half  a  dozen  years  the  course  of  study  was  metamorphosed  completely." 

In  1893  a  five-story  laboratory  building  was  erected  on  Harrison  Street 
opposite  the  original  college  building.  It  contained  laboratories  for  chem- 
istry, anatomy,  pathology,  bacteriology  and  materia  medica.  Required 
laboratory  courses  in  the  various  departments  were  introduced.  In  1895 
Dr.  Ludvig  Hektoen  became  professor  of  pathology  and  under  him  instruc- 
tion in  gross  and  microscopic  pathology  was  developed  into  one  of  the 
strongest  and  most  popular  courses. 

A  direct  result  of  this  progressive  attitude  was  the  high  culmination  of 
Dr.  Holmes'  administration  when  Rush  Medical  College  became  affiliated 
with  the  University  of  Chicago.  There  had  been  a  brief  and  unprofitable 
union  with  'the  first  University  of  Chicago  in  1874-5.  In  1887  the  college 
became  the  medical  department  of  Lake  Forest  University,  but  this  rela- 
tionship was  merely  nominal.  When  the  University  of  Chicago  was  founded 
in  1891  President  William  Rainey  Harper  had  announced  plans  for  an 
institution  of  a  more  comprehensive  and  higher  type  than  had  previously 
existed  in  this  country.  Professional  schools,  among  them  a  school  of  medicine, 
were  to  be  included  in  the  vast  project.  The  conviction  became  general 
that  under  the  guidance  of  Dr.  Harper  one  of  the  great  universities  of  the 
world  was  to  be  developed  in  Chicago. 

"It  was  due  primarily  to  the  foresight  and  indomitable  perseverance  of 
Dr.  E.  Fletcher  Ingals  that  plans  to  link  the  medical  school  with  the  uni- 
versity were  formulated,"  says  Professor  John  M.  Dodson  and,'  as  a  result 
of  protracted  negotiations  between  President  Harper  and  Dr.  Ingals  an 
understanding  ultimately  was  reached.  For  the  medical  college  the  fol- 
lowing took  part  in  the  final  conversations: 

President  Edward  L.  Holmes  and  Doctors  Henry  M.  Lyman.  James  H. 
Etheridge,  Walter  S.  Haines,  James  Nevins  Hyde,  E.  Fletcher  Ingals, 
Arthur  Dean  F>evan,  Daniel  R.  Brower,  lohn  B.  Hamilton  and  John  M. 


HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO  197 

Dodson.  The  only  faculty  members  absent  were  Dr.  Norman  Bridge,  who 
was  in  California,  and  Dr.  Nicholas  Senn,  who  was  in  the  south  on  a  brief 
vacation.  President  Harper,  Dr.  Thomas  W.  Goodspeed  and  Dr.  Albion  W. 
Small  represented  the  University. 

Affiliation  was  completed  January  5,  1898,  and  became  effective  the  fol- 
lowing June. 

Executive  officers  of  the  medical  faculty  appointed  by  the  trustees  were 
Senior  Dean,  Dr.  Henry  M.  Lyman ;  Junior  Dean,  Dr.  John  M.  Dodson, 
and  Registrar,  Dr.  E.  Fletcher  Ingals. 

In  1898  Dr.  Frank  Billings,  who  had  been  a  member  of  the  faculty  of 
Northwestern  University  Medical  School  since  1882,  became  associated  with 
Rush  as  professor  of  medicine.  Two  years  later  he  was  elected  dean  of  the 
faculty,  which  position  he  has  held  ever  since. 

As  a  condition  precedent  to  the  affiliation  it  was  stipulated  by  the  Uni- 
versity authorities  that  the  debt  of  Rush  Medical  College  be  paid.  The 
amount  was  $73,000  in  bonds.  The  sum  needed  to  extinguish  the  obliga- 
tion was  subscribed  by  the  .members  of  the  faculty,  Doctors  Nicholas  Senn 
and  Ephraim  Ingals  each  giving  $25,000. 

In  1903  the  Senn  Memorial  Building  was  erected  adjoining  the  original 
college  building.  It  provides  quarters  for  the  Central  Free  Dispensary  and 
various  clinical  and  research  laboratories. 

The  Central  Free  Dispensary  of  West  Chicago  was  organized  in  1867, 
under  the  title  of  the  Brainard  Free  Dispensary,  and  incorporated  under 
its  present  title  on  April  1,  1873.  At  different  periods  for  nine  years  it 
occupied  small  rooms  at  232  West  Randolph  Street,  79  West  Madison 
Street,  95  West  Randolph  Street,  136  North  Sangamon  Street,  and  239  West 
Van  Buren  Street. 

In  1871  the  Herrick  Free  Dispensary  was  founded  under  the  auspices  of 
the  Relief  and  Aid  Society,  to  assist  in  relieving  the  destitution  caused  by 
the  recent  fire.  This  dispensary  occupied  rooms  on  Wright  Street,  near 
Twelfth  Street,  and  confined  its  task  to  the  care  of  the  sick  poor  in  the 
southern  portion  of  the  West  Division. 

In  1872,  this  new  dispensary,  to  which  the  Relief  and  Aid  Society  had 
donated,  as  a  permanent  fund,  the  sum  of  $5,000,  was  united  with  the 
Central  Dispensary,  under  one  organization.  The  medical  boards  continued 
in  office,  each  with  special  duties. 

In  1876,  the  dispensary  removed  to  quarters  in  the  lower  story  of  the  new 
Rush  Medical  College,  corner  of  Harrison  and  Wood  streets.  In  June,  1902, 
the  dispensary  was  transferred  to  Senn  Hall. 

The  medical  library  at  the  college  has  been  built  up  about  a  nucleus  con- 
sisting of  the  library  of  the  late  Dr.  J.  Adams  Allen.  Several  libraries  be- 
longing to  members  of  the  faculty  have  come  to  the  college  after  the  deaths 
of  their  owners.  Among  the  larger  ones  may  be  mentioned  those  of  Doctors 
Charles  T.  Parkes,  Edward  L.  Holmes  and  Christian  Fenger.  Many  smaller 
gifts  have  been  received  from  various  sources  and  the  college  for  several 
years  has  subscribed  for  most  of  the  leading  periodicals  in  various  languages. 

The  library  now  contains  approximately  23,000  volumes,  5,000  pamphlets 
and  15,000  reprint?..  It  is  one  of  the  large  medical  libraries  of  the  country. 

The  Alumni  Association  of  Rush  Medical  College  was  organized  in  1879, 
It  has  held  annual  meetings  at  the  time  of  the  college  commencement  am 
joint  banquets  with  the  college  faculty.  For  ten  years  it  published  its  pro- 


198  HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO 

ceedings  in  pamphlet  form  and  since  1904  has  published  a  "Bulletin"  several 
times  each  year,  containing  items  of  interest  to  the  alumni. 

Under  the  affiliation  with  the  University  of  Chicago  the  student  spends 
the  two  preclinical  years  at  the  University  of  Chicago  in  the  Hull  Biological 
Laboratories.  Instruction  is  in  the  hands  of  teachers  whose  time  is  wholly 
devoted  to  the  teaching  and  investigation  in  their  respective  lines.  The 
belief  is  that  the  student  pursuing  these  studies  in  the  atmosphere  of  an 
institution  devoted  to  scientific  work  cannot  but  gain  a  broader  and  more 
thorough  conception  of  the  fundamental  sciences. 

The  clinical  branches  are  taught  in  Rush  Medical  College  with  its  Cen- 
tral Free  Dispensary,  the  Presbyterian  Hospital,  the  Home  for  Destitute 
Crippled  Children,  the  Cook  County  Hospital  and  the  Durand  Hospital  of 
the  John  McCormick  Institute  for  Infectious  Diseases.  A  fifth  year,  also 
requisite  for  the  degree  of  Doctor  of  Medicine,  provides  for  work  as  an 
interne  or  in  research. 

The  great  undertaking  was  graphically  outlined  by  Dean  Billings  in  an 
announcement  to  the  alumni  of  Rush  Medical  College  under  date  of  January 
16,  1917: 

"It  must  be  a  source  of  gratification  to  every  alumnus  of  Rush  College 
to  know  that  the  high  standards  of  medical  teaching  and  the  encouragement 
of  research  at  Rush  Medical  College  during  its  affiliation  with  the  University 
of  Chicago  produced  a  medical  condition  in  Chicago  which  is  unique.  I 
use  the  word  unique  because  when  a  plan  for  a  broad  and  comprehensive 
medical  teaching  in  America  was  under  discussion  by  the  General  Education 
Board,  Chicago  was  found  to  be  the  only  place  where  such  a  big  plan  could  be 
carried  out.  This  condition  of  medicine  in  Chicago  was  brought  about  by 
the  development  of  medicine  at  the  University  of  Chicago,  at  Rush  and  at 
the  Presbyterian  Hospital  together  with  the  research  work  done  at  the 
John  McCormick  Institute  for  Infectious  Diseases  and  the  Otho  S.  A. 
Sprague  Memorial  Institute. 

''The  broad  and  comprehensive  plan  for  medicine  in  Chicago  under  the 
administration  of  the  University  of  Chicago  means  the  development  of  an 
undergraduate  medical  school  of  high  standards  at  the  University  campus. 
For  many  years  the  University  of  Chicago  has  conducted  at  the  Hull  Bio- 
logical Laboratories  the  first  two  years  of  medical  work.  It  is  endowed 
with  $2,000,000  with  full-time  teachers  to  carry  on  the  work.  To  complete 
the  undergraduate  school  at  the  university  there  will  be  erected  at  the 
campus  a  hospital  of  250  beds  for  the  purpose  of  teaching  and  medical  re- 
search. This  hospital  will  be  known  as  the  Albert  M.  Billings  Hospital, 
erected  at  the  cost  of  $1,000,000,  a  gift  made  by  a  son  of  A.  M.  Billings, 
C.  K.  G.  Billings;  a  grandson,  Albert  Billings  Ruddock;  a  son-in-law,  Charles 
H.  Ruddock,  and  a  nephew,  Dr.  Frank  Billings.  The  hospital  will  be  en- 
dowed with  $3.000,000  for  the  maintenance  of  the  hospital  and  to  furnish 
the  funds  to  pay  the  salaries  of  the  full-time  teachers  of  clinical  medicine 
tvho  will  also  be  the  staff  of  the  hospital. 

"On  the  west  side  at  Rush  Medical  College  the  old  building  will  be  re- 
placed by  a  new  laboratory  and  clinical  building  estimated  to  cost  $300,000. 
The  sum  for  the  erection  of  this  building  has  been  donated  by  Mr.  and  Mrs. 
Frederick  H.  Rawson  of  Chicago.  It  will  have  direct  communication  with 
the  Presbyterian  Hospital,  which  with  its  440  beds  will  furnish  the  clinical 


HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO 


material  of  the  graduate  school.  The  graduate  school  will  be  further  en- 
dowed with  $1,000,000,  the  income  of  which  will  be  used  in  payment  of 
the  salaries  of  the  teachers  of  the  graduate  school,  some  of  whom  will  be 
members  of  the  staff  of  the  Presbyterian  Hospital.  In  all  probability  the 
heads  of  departments  of  medicine,  surgery  and  obstetrics  in  the  graduate 
school  will  be  full-time  men  and  all  the  laboratory  workers  will  be  full-time 
teachers.  Necessarily  the  graduate  school  will  afford  an  opportunity  for 
many  qualified  clinical  teachers  on  part  time  and  part  pay. 

"Contractual  relations  have  been  entered  into  between  the  University  of 
Chicago,  Rush  Medical  Colege,  the  Presbyterian  Hospital,  and  the  Otho 
S.  A.  Sprague  Memorial  Institute  in  the  development  of  this  big  medical 
plan.  Necessarily  the  Central  Free  Dispensary  of  West  Chicago  will  have 
the  same  relations  with  the  graduate  school  that  it  has  always  held  with 
Rush  Medical  College. 

"Therefore,  the  plan  for  medicine  in  Chicago  under  the  administration  of 
the  University  of  Chicago  contemplates  a  high  standard  institution  in  under- 
graduate medicine,  graduate  medicine  and  clinical  research.  The  graduate 
school  will  offer  opportunities  for  practitioners  from  anywhere  in  the  world 
to  better  qualify  themselves  for  medical  work  of  all  kinds  and  if  they  are 
qualified  to  do  it,  to  engage  in  research  in  subjects  in  which  they  may  be 
interested.  Practitioners  young  and  old  and  research  workers  will  find  an 
opportunity  to  better  qualify  themselves-,  than  in  ordinary  postgraduate 
schools  both  for  short  and  long  periods  of  study.  It  will  afford  them  an 
opportunity  to  do  in  Chicago  as  good  or  better  work  than  medical  men  have 
been  able  to  get  abroad." 

The  finances  of  the  various  institutions  forming  the  unified  medical  plan 
are  estimated  in  excess  of  $10,000,000.  Included  in  this  are  the  Hull  Build- 
ings at  the  University  of  Chicago,  the  endowment  for  the  fundamental 
branches  of  medicine  at  the  University,  the  property  and  endowment  of  the 
Presbyterian  Hospital,  the  Otho  S.  A.  Sprague  Memorial  Institute  and  the 
John  McCormick  Institute  for  Infectious  Diseases.  In  this  sum  no  estimate 
was  placed  on  the  property  value  of  Rush  Medical  College. 

To  carry  out  the  plan  it  was  estimated  by  the  General  Education  Board 
a  few  years  ago  that  $5,300,000  would  be  required  for  buildings  and  endow- 
ments. This  sum  has  been  subscribed. 

Owing  to  unsettled  business  and  building  conditions,  the  carrying  out  of 
the  plan  has  been  held  in  abeyance,  but  it  is  believed  that  its  realization  will 
take  place  in  the  near  future.

*HAHNEMANN  MEDICAL  COLLEGE  OF  CHI- 
CAGO 

Abraham  Lincoln,  according  to  reports,  aided  substantially  in  the  procure- 
ment of  the  charter  for  Hahnemann  Medical  College  of  Chicago. 

The  grant  was  obtained  in  1855.  As  early  as  1849  the  matter  of  the  estab- 
lishment of  a  homeopathic  school  was  under  consideration.  It  was  not  until 
1852-3,  however,  that  Dr.  E.  A.  Guilbert  of  Elgin  drafted  a  charter  for  the 
incorporation  of  such  an  institution.  The  project  encountered  violent  opposi- 
tion forthwith  and  was  not  submitted  to  the  general  assembly.  In  the  fol- 
lowing biennium  Dr.  David  S.  Smith  went  to  the  state  capital  and,  say  the 
chroniclers,  Abraham  Lincoln  and  J.  Young  Scammon  materially  assisted  him 
in  persuading  the  legislature  to  adopt  a  measure  granting  corporate  powers 
to  the  Hahnemann  Medical  College  of  Chicago.  The  date  of  the  charter  was 
February  14,  1855. 

The  first  faculty  was  organized  at  a  meeting  of  homeopathic  physicians  at 
Halsey  and  King's  pharmacy,  168  South  Clark  Street,  on  the  evening  of  March 
15,  1860.  Present  at  this  meeting  were  Doctors  George  E.  Shipman,  A.  E. 
Small,  J.  L.  Kellogg,  Nicholas  F.  Cooke,  Gaylord  D.  Beebe,  A.  Pitney,  E. 
Rawson,  J.  Davis,  S.  Seymour,  A.  K.  Boardman  and  Reuben  Ludlam.  Dr. 
Shipman  was  chairman  and  Dr.  Ludlam  secretary  of  the  meeting.  It  was  de- 
cided to  bring  the  college  into  being  under  the  provisions  of  the  charter  and 
the  following  were  chosen  as  members  of  the  first  faculty :

Dr.  David  S.  Smith,  who  was  elected  president  of  the  first  board  of  trustees, 
had  begun  the  practice  of  medicine  in  Chicago  in  1836.  As  early  as  1837  his 
attention  was  called  to  homeopathy,  to  which  he  became  a  complete  convert 
after  a  careful  investigation  extending  over  a  period  of  four  or  five  years.  Dr. 
Smith  was  the  founder  and  first  president  of  the  Illinois  Homeopathic  Asso- 
ciation and  during  his  life  received  all  the  honors  that  local  and  national  so- 
cieties could  confer  upon  him.  It  was  through  Dr.  Smith  that  the  first  Hahne- 
mann  Hospital  was  obtained  for  the  benefit  of  the  school. 

Rooms  over  the  Halsey  and  King  pharmacy  having  been  set  apart  for  the 
purposes  of  the  college,  the  formal  opening  occurred  in  October,  I860. 
Twenty  students  were  enrolled,  of  whom  nine  were  in  the  junior  class  and 
eleven  in  the  senior  department.  The  entire  senior  class  was  graduated  at 
Metropolitan  Hall,  February  14,  1861,  forty  persons  being  in  the  audience. 

Quarters  for  the  teaching  of  the  early  students  were  exceedingly  primitive. 
Dr.  Temple  S.  Hoyne,  who  attended  a  part  of  the  first  lectures,  has  left  this 
description  of  the  accommodations :  "The  only  lecture  room  was  about 
twelve  by  twenty  feet  and  was  arranged  to  seat,  when  crowded,  about  forty 
students.  By  encroaching  upon  the  speaker's  stand,  some  ten  or  twelve  visit- 
ors could  be  accommodated.  Adjoining  this  very  capacious  lecture  room  was 
a  dispensary  about  eight  by  ten  feet  containing  a  small  medicine  case  or  dis- 
pensary table  and  chairs  for  three  or  four  patients,  the  usual  number  in  at- 
tendance when  there  were  any  at  all.  The  dissecting  room  was  a  small  cup- 
board hole  in  which  it  was  barely  possible  to  dissect  two  subjects  at  the  same 
time.  The  whole  third  story  of  the  building  and  the  greater  part  of  the  sec- 
ond were  at  the  disposal  of  the  faculty,  but  the  small  rooms  mentioned  were 
partitioned  off  and  were  deemed  amply  sufficient  to  accommodate  the  neces- 
sities of  the  class." 

During  the  six  years  that  followed  its  establishment  the  college  met  with 
many  successes,  many  trials  and  some  serious  changes  in  the  group  of  phy- 
sicians and  surgeons  forming  its  faculty.  Dr.  Beebe's  separation  from  the 
.  school  to  accept  a  commission  as  surgeon  in  the  Union  Army  was,  however, 
regarded  with  satisfaction,  for  his  appointment  was  hailed  as  a  victory  for 
those  who  had  striven  for  recognition  of  the  homeopathic  school  in  the  army. 
Dr.  Beebe's  meritorious  services  were  rewarded  by  promotion  to  the  rank  of 
chief  medical  director  of  the  Fourteenth  Army  Corps'.  At  the  close  of  the  war 
he  returned  to  Hahnemann,  where  he  performed  many  brilliant  operations 
including  a  successful  resection  of  four  feet  ten  inches  of  the  small  intestine 
in  a  woman  on  whom  he  was  operating  for  a  large  umbilical  hernia. 

Dr.  Smith,  having  retired  from  the  presidency  of  the  board  of  trustees  in 
1866,  was  succeeded  by  Dr.  Small  and  Dr.  Ludlam  was  elected  dean. 

The  second  home  of  the  college  was  established  at  1237  State  Street  in  1 
and  contained  lecture  rooms  sufficiently  large  to  accommodate  about  one  hun-

dred  students.  It  is  described  by  Dr.  Hoyne  as  "a  dingy  sort  of  place  reached 
by  climbing  two  pairs  of  stairs."  The  dissecting  room  was  located  on  the 
same  floor  and  was  separated  from  the  lecture  room  by  a  single  door  which 
allowed  the  foul  odors  to  penetrate  to  every  part  of  the  building.  Still  it  was 
regarded  as  an  improvement  upon  the  old  location,  the  dispensary  facilities 
being  especially  improved. 

The  college  occupied  these  unpretentious  quarters  for  five  years,  the  num- 
ber of  students  increasing  from  60  to  90  and  the  graduating  class  from  26 
to  38. 

Through  the  generosity  of  J.  Young  Scammon,  Hahnemann  secured  its  own 
hospital  accommodations  in  1870.  For  this  purpose  Mr.  Scammon  donated  a 
group  of  frame  buildings  at  2813  Groveland  Avenue  under  the  name  of  Scam- 
mon Hospital.  Brick  additions  were  made  in  1872  and  1873,  providing  a  sat-1 
isfactory  amphitheater  for  clinical  use.  This  structure  was  partly  destroyed 
by  fire  in  1883.  In  its  reconstruction  it  took  the  form  now  known  as  the 
Nurses'  Home  and  served  as  Hahnemann  Hospital  until  1894,  the  year  of  the 
erection  of  the  new  hospital. 

Having  decided  in  1871  that  they  needed  a  home  of  their  own,  the  board  of 
trustees  and  faculty  in  June  of  that  year  undertook  the  construction  of  "Old 
Hahnemann."  The  cornerstone  was  laid  during  the  annual  meeting  of  the 
American  Institute  of  Homeopathy  in  this  city. 

The  structure,  which  was  located  on  the  site  of  the  present  college,  was 
ready  to  receive  students  in  October  of  the  same  year.  There  were  seventy- 
nine  matriculants. 

During  the  next  decade  the  college  flourished  remarkably,  the  total  enroll- 
ment in  1880  being  280.  The  graduation  class  in  that  year  numbered  87.  In- 
deed, while  Old  Hahnemann  occupied  the  building,  the  educational  progress 
of  the  institution  was  uninterrupted.  One  of  the  first  of  the  western  colleges 
to  insist  upon  the  three-year  course  and  one  of  the  first  to  formulate  the  four- 
year  graded  course,  Hahnemann  strictly  maintained  the  policy  of  raising  the 
standard  of  medical  education. 

In  paying  tribute  to  those  responsible  for  the  progress  thus  made,  Dr.  How- 
ard R.  Chislett,  sometime  dean,  says :  "All  honor  to  Doctors  Reuben  Ludlam, 
George  A.  Hall  and  Temple  S.  Hoyne.  They  are  all  dead  now,  but  their 
memories  are  honored  by  their  one-time  students  and  we  rejoice  that  they  all 
lived  sufficiently  long  to  round  out  their  useful  lives,  to  prove  their  faith  in 
their  former  students  and  supporters  and  to  see  their  anticipations  realized 
in  the  construction  of  our  group  of  modern  buildings.  Without  the  slightest 
thought  of  belittling  the  earnest  effort  of  others,  the  real  pilot  that  guided 
Hahnemann  Medical  College  as  it  passed  through  its  many  trials  was  Dr. 
Reuben  Ludlam,  its  first  registrar,  its  second  dean  and  its  third  president. 

"Dr.  Ludlam  was  graduated  from  the  medical  department  of  the  University 
of  Pennsylvania  in  1852.  Arriving  in  Chicago,  he  was  at  once  impressed  with 
the  efficacy  of  homeopathic  medication  in  the  treatment  of  cholera.  His  in- 
vestigations led  him  to  enter  the  new  school  of  practice  and  in  the  following 
year  he  became  associated  with  Dr.  D.  S.  Smith.  To  Dr.  Ludlam  may  be 
traced  the  initiative  that  resulted  in  the  calling  of  the  first  meeting  for  the 
organization  of  the  college ;  the  resolution  that  pronounced  the  time  now  ripe 
for  the  establishment  of  a  homeopathic  school;  the  main  force  and  judgment 
that  molded  the  policy  of  the  institution  for  the  twenty-five  years  of  his  dean- 
ship  ;  the  chief  influence  that  made  for  clinical  instruction  and  the  determina- 


203 


tion  to  admit  women  on  an  equal  footing  with  men.  Doctor  Ludlam  received 
every  honor  the  American  profession  could  bestow  upon  him  and  will  always 
be  remembered  as  a  gentleman,  as  a  scholar  and  as  the  foremost  gynecologist 
and  editor  of  his  day  in  the  homeopathic  ranks."  • 

Upon  Dr.  Ludlam's  election  to  the  presidency  in  1891,  Dr.  H.  B.  Fellows, 
who  for  five  years  had  been  in  charge  of  the  department  of  practice,  was 
chosen  dean. 

The  present  college  building  was  finished  in  1893.  It  was  furnished 
throughout  by  the  alumni  association.  Since  the  new  college  structure  has 
been  in  existence,  increased  matriculation  requirements  and  the  higher  stand- 
ard of  the  four-year  graded  courses  have  naturally  lessened  the  number  of 
applicants  for  instruction,  so  the  growth  of  Hahnemann  in  the  past  twenty- 
eight  years  has  been  in  an  educational  rather  than  numerical  sense. 

In  1894  the  trustees  of  Hahnemann  Medical  College  incorporated  the  hos- 
pital as  a  separate  corporate  body  under  the  same  board  of  trustees ;  this  was 
done  to  overcome  certain  financial  limitations  in  the  college  charter. 

When  Dr.  Fellows  relinquished  the  duties  of  dean  on  account  of  ill  health, 
he  was  succeeded  by  Dr.  Charles  H.  Vilas,  who  had  been  active  head  of  the 
eye  and  ear  department  since  1881.  Dr.  Vilas  served  three  years  as  dean  and 
one  year  as  president  of  the  board  of  trustees,  resigning  in  1900  because  of  ill 
health. 

Dr.  E.  Stillman  Bailey  had  already  in  1884  succeeded  Dr.  Hoyne  as  regis- 
trar, a  position  which  he  held  for  ten  years.  As  instructor  in  physiology,  pro- 
fessor of  gynecology  and  registrar,  Dr.  Bailey  did  much  for  Hahnemann  for 
twenty  years.  At  the  end  of  this  service  he  was  elected  dean  of  the  college 
faculty,  a  position  which  he  occupied  until  overwork  forced  him  to  resign. 
In  1900  he  was  elected  a  member  of  the  board  of  trustees. 

When  Dr.  Bailey  resigned  as  registrar,  Dr.  Joseph  P.  Cobb  was  chosen  to 
succeed  him,  and  during  the  six  years  he  retained  this  office,  and  as  senior 
professor  of  physiology  and  pediatrics,  Dr.  Cobb,  with  Dr.  E.  M.  Bruce,  then 
senior  in  the  department  of  chemistry,  labored  faithfully  and  successfully  for 
the  betterment  of  instruction,  especially  in  the  laboratory  courses. 

Upon  the  retirement  of  Dr.  Vilas  from  the  presidency  in  May,  1900,  the 
faculty  united  in  recommending  Dr.  George  F.  Shears  as  president  and  Dr. 
Howard  R.  Chislett  as  dean.  Dr.  Shears  for  many  years  had  been  secretary 
of  the  board  of  trustees  and  senior  surgeon.  It  was  he  who  introduced  mod- 
ern methods  of  aseptic  and  antiseptic  surgery  into  the  college  and  hospital. 
Dr.  Shears,  as  an  official,  secured  for  Hahnemann  its  independence  as  a  cor- 
poration and  its  freedom  from  debt. 

During  the  presidency  of  Doctor  Shears  a  union  or  amalgamation  of  the 
Chicago  Homeopathic  Medical  College  with  the  Hahnemann  Medical  College 
was  consummated,  to  take  effect  February  1,  1905. 

On  the  death  of  Dr.  Shears  in  1910,  Dr.  Chislett  was  elected  president  and 
Dr.  Charles  E.  Kahlke  was  chosen  dean.  He  served  until  1913,  when  he  was 
succeeded  by  Dr.  Joseph  P.  Cobb. 

In  the  early  years  of  his  presidency  Dr.  Chislett  demonstrated  to  the  board 
of  trustees  that  Hahnemann  College,  like  any  other  educational  institutu 
could  not  be  satisfactorily  conducted  on  a  commercial  basis ;  that  it  could 
do  work  commensurate  with  the  educational  demands  if  its  financial  returns 
were  limited  to  the  students'  fees. 


204  HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO 

Through  these  efforts  the  individual  trustees  and  other  friends  of  the 
Hahnemann  institutions  properly  financed  the  college  for  a  period  of  .years 
(1911-1917),  during  which  the  officers  of  the  college  and  the  dean's  commit- 
tee (with  Dr.  Charles  E.  Rahlke  as  chairman)  were  endeavoring  to  interest 
the  trustees  in  the  organization  of  the  Chicago  Memorial  Foundation,  having 
as  its  purpose  the  taking  over  of  the  Hahnemann  interests  and  developing 
them  upon  a  broader  non-sectarian  basis,  and  the  raising  of  funds  for  a  new 
hospital. 

These  plans  were  well  under  way  and  by  1914  a  sufficient  amount  of  money 
had  been  pledged  to  build  two  of  the  three  wings  of  the  new  hospital,  when 
the  World  War  convinced  the  trustees  that  the  time  was  not  propitious  for 
expansion.  It  was  therefore  decided  to  broaden  the  charter  of  the  Hahne- 
mann Hospital,  increasing  the  board  of  trustees  from  ten  to  twenty  members 
and  giving  the  corporation  the  right  "to  purchase,  erect,  own,  conduct  and 
operate  hospitals,  schools,  colleges  and  universities,  one  of  which  colleges 
shall  be  a  medical  college." 

It  was  under  this  new  charter  that  Hahnemann  Medical  College  was  taken 
over  by  the  hospital  corporation  and  conducted  as  one  of  the  educational  units 
of  the  hospital.  By  this  action  the  necessity  of  a  president  of  the  college  cor- 
poration ceased  and  Dr.  Chislett's  responsibilities  as  president  were  assumed 
by  Mr.  John  J.  Mitchell,  president  of  the  hospital  board,  and  Dr.  Joseph  P. 
Cobb,  dean  of  the  college.  This  action  was  taken  in  1915. 

Under  the  deanship  of  Dr.  Cobb  the  funds  of  the  Chicago  Memorial  Foun- 
dation were  materially  increased,  an  important  addition  being  the  income 
from  a  living  alumni  endowment  fund. 

In  1920  John  Charles  Blake,  B.  S.,  Ph.  D.,  who  for  six  years  had  been  pro- 
fessor in  charge  of  the  department  of  chemistry,  was  elected  registrar  and  on 
February  1,  1921,  succeeded  Dr.  Cobb  as  dean  of  the  faculty. 

In  1919  the  faculty  and  board  of  trustees  adopted  the  educational  policy 
that  the  work  required  of  all  students  should  embrace  all  of  the  well  recog- 
nized principles  of  medicine,  including  a  complete  course  in  homeopathy. 

Beginning  with  the  session  of  1921-22,  Hahnemann  Medical  College,  rees- 
tablished under  its  own  charter,  with  Dr.  Cobb  as  president  and  Dr.  Blake  as 
dean,  adopted  the  policy  that  every  course  dealing  with  the  principles  of  medi- 
cine must  be  accompanied  by  original  research  tending  to  elucidate  and  ex- 
tend the  principles  involved. 

With  the  reestablishment  of  the  college  under  its  own  board  of  trustees,  the 
relationship  of  the  college  to  the  alumni,  and  to  the  members  of  the  state  so- 
ciety was  emphasized.  Their  responsibility  was  also  pointed  out  and  ac- 
cepted by  them  to  the  extent  that  they  have  become  important  factors  in  the 
financial  support  of  the  institution.

*  N  O  R  T  H  W  E  S  T  E  R  N     UNIVERSITY 

MEDICAL     SCHOOL  . 

First  in  the  United  States  to  apply  the  principles  of  scientific  pedagogy  \ 
to  the  teaching  of  medicine  and  surgery. 

This  is  the  high  distinction  belonging  to  Northwestern  University  Medical 
School,  whose  aggressive  founders  were  the  fathers  of  modern  instructional   / 
methods  in  medical  institutions  of  learning.  / 

In  the  early  half  of  the  nineteenth  century  there  were  thirty-six  medical 
colleges  in  the  country.  None  maintained  a  standard  of  preliminary  educa- 
tion for  beginning  the  study  of  medicine  or  entering  the  medical  school.  No 
laboratory  work  was  required  except  the  dissection  of  a  part  of  the  human 
body.  Attendance  on  clinical  instruction  was  not  obligatory  upon  the  stu- 
dent. 

The  college  faculties  generally  consisted  of  six  or  seven  professors  and  a 
demonstrator  of  anatomy.  The  instruction  was  almost  wholly  by  didactic 
lectures  given  at  the  rate  of  five  or  six  a  day  to  all  the  students,  in  a  single 
class,  without  any  consecutive  order  by  which  the  more  elementary  branches 
might  be  attended  the  first  year  and  the  more  practical  the  second  year.  In 
that  way  all  the  then  recognized  branches  of  medicine  were  treated  each 
year  for  a  period  of  from  twelve  to  sixteen  weeks,  which  was  recognized  as 
an  annual  college  term. 

These  anomalous  conditions  evoked  numerous  and  severe  criticisms,  both 
in  the  meetings  of  medical  societies  and  in  the  medical  journals.  In  the 
annual  meeting  of  the  New  York  State  Medical  Society,  February,  1844, 
Dr.  N.  S.  Davis,  then  a  young  delegate  from  the  Broome  County  Medical 
Society,  presented  resolutions  demanding  the  adoption  of  a  fair  standard  of 
general  education  before  commencing  the  study  of  medicine,  the  lengthening 
of  annual  medical  college  terms  to  six  months,  attendance  upon  three  such

terms  and  the  grading  of  the  curriculum  in  such  a  manner  that  the  student 
would  be  able  to  confine  his  attention  to  a  limited  number  of  branches  each 
year. 

It  was  the  earnest  and  persistent  discussion  of  these  resolutions,  and  the 
principles  they  involved,  in  the  annual  meetings  of  the  New  York  State 
Medical  Society  in  1844  and  1845  that  resulted  in  the  call  for  a  national 
convention  of  delegates  from  all  the  regular  medical  societies,  medical  col- 
leges and  hospitals  in  this  country  to  be  held  in  May,  1846,  in  the  city  of  New 
York.  Debate  upon  educational  reforms  thus  precipitated  by  Dr.  Davis 
was  continued  at  this  conclave  and  it  eventuated  in  the  final  organization  of 
the  American  Medical  Association  at  Philadelphia  in  May,  1847.  The  prime 
purpose  of  the  national  association  was  to  elevate  and  systematize  medical 
education  by  inducing  the  medical  schools  in  all  the  states  to  act  in  concert. 
However,  although  this  purpose  was  repeatedly  and  forcefully  emphasized  at 
succeeding  meetings  of  the  national  body,  not  one  of  the  medical  schools 
then  existing  in  this  country  attempted  to  put  this  progressive  program  into 
practice. 

While  attending  the  third  annual  meeting  of  the  American  Medical  Asso- 
ciation at  Boston  in  1849,  Dr.  Davis  was  invited  to  come  to  Chicago  as  pro- 
fessor of  physiology  and  pathology  in  Rush  Medical  College.  Arriving  in 
Chicago  in  the  autumn  of  that  year,  Dr.  Davis  entered  upon  his  new  duties. 
From  the  beginning  of  his  incumbency  he  continually  urged  adoption  of  a 
more  thorough  and  efficient  system  of  medical  education  by  Rush  Medical 
College  without  waiting  longer  for  other  colleges  to  act  first.  His  views 
were  vigorously  supported  by  Doctors  Edmund  Andrews  and  Hosmer  A. 
Johnson,  who  were  members  of  the  faculty  of  Rush. 

However,  Dr.  Daniel  Brainard,  president,  and  a  majority  of  the  faculty 
and  trustees  overruled  the  insurgents  and  refused  to  make  any  changes  in 
the  direction  desired. 

At  this  time  Lind  University,  recently  established  in  a  building  at  the 
northwest  corner  of  Randolph  and  Market  streets,  was  seeking  affiliation  with 
a  medical  school.  A  concertium  was  proposed  to  Doctors  Johnson,  Andrews, 
Ralph  N.  Isham  and  David  Rutter  that  included  the  promise  to  co-operate 
in  the  development  of  scholastic  plans  in  consonance  with  the  policy  of  the 
American  Medical  Association.  The  proffer  was  accepted  by  Dr.  Johnson 
and  his  associates,  who  immediately  invited  Doctors  N.  S.  Davis  and  Wil- 
liam H.  Byford  of  Rush  Medical  College  faculty  to  join  them  in  founding  the 
medical  department  of  Lind  University.  Doctors  Davis  and  Byford  there- 
upon resigned  their  professorships  and  the  undertaking  was  begun. 

The  faculty,  as  first  organized  and  approved  by  the  board  of  trustees  of 
Lind  University,  was  constituted  as  follows: 

Titus  Deville,  M.  D.,  professor  of  descriptive  anatomy. 

John  H.  Hollister,  M.  D.,  professor  of  physiology  and  histology. 

F.  Mahla,  M.  D.,  professor  of  inorganic  chemistry,  organic  chemistry  and 
toxicology. 

Hosmer  A.  Johnson,  M.  D.,  professor  of  materia  medica  and  therapeutics. 

M.  R.  Taylor,  M.  D.,  professor  of  general  pathology. 

Ralph  N.  Isham,  M.  D.,  professor  of  surgical  anatomy. 

Edmund  Andrews,  M.  D.,  professor  of  principles  and  practice  of  surgery. 

Nathan  S.  Davis,  M.  D.,  professor  of  principles  and  practice  of  medicine. 


HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO  207 

William  H.  Byford,  M.  D.,  professor  of  obstetrics  and  diseases  of  women. 
Henry  G.  Spofford,  Esq.,  professor  of  medical  jurisprudence. 
David  Rutter,  M.  D.,  emeritus  professor  of  obstetrics. 
Horace  Wardner,  M.  D.,  demonstrator  of  anatomy. 

The  instruction  given  by  the  five  first  named  professors,  with  dissections 
and  laboratory  work,  constituted  the  junior  course  and  that  given  by  the 
remaining  members  of  the  faculty,  with  clinical  instructions,  the  senior 
course.  Students  who  were  in  the  first  half  of  the  three  years  of  the  medical 
curriculum  were  required  to  attend  the  junior  course  and  those  in  the  second 
half  the  senior  course. 

The  first  annual  college  term  began  October  9,  1859,  with  an  introductory 
lecture  by  Dr.  Davis,  who  said,  among  other  things:  "Considerations  which 
have  induced  the  faculty  to  undertake  the  task  of  establishing  this  institu- 
tion may  all  be  included  in  the  two  following  propositions:  First,  the  very 
liberal  offer  of  the  board  of  trustees  of  Lind  University  to  furnish  all  the 
needed  accommodations  for  a  medical  department,  with  no  other  restrictions 
than  that  the  plan  of  instruction  adopted  should  be  such  as  would  most 
effectually  promote  the  educational  interests  of  the  profession  without  ref- 
erence to  established  customs  and  usages.  Second,  a  sincere  desire  on  the 
part  of  the  faculty  to  put  into  practical  operation  a  system  of  medical  college 
instruction  more  in  accordance  with  sound  educational  principles  and  better 
adapted  to  the  present  state  of  science  and  art  of  medicine  than  that  which 
has  been  so  long  adhered  to  by  the  medical  schools  of  the  country." 

The  number  of  matriculants  for  the  first  college  term  was  thirty-three,  of 
whom  nineteen  were  juniors  and  fourteen  seniors  who  had  completed  their 
first  courses  in  some  other  medical  school.  The  rooms  that  had  been  pro- 
vided in  the  Lind  Block  consisted  of  two  convenient  and  well  lighted  lecture 
halls,  a  laboratory,  a  museum,  a  room  for  practical  anatomy,  a  library  and 
faculty  room.  The  facilities  for  clinical  instruction  in  the  departments  of 
practical  medicine,  surgery,  gynecology  and  pediatrics  were  furnished  by 
Mercy  Hospital,  an  orphan  asylum  adjoining  the  hospital  and  a  free  dis- 
pensary for  the  poor  in  one  of  the  rooms  ofLthe  medical  school. 

For  four  years  the  faculty  of  the  medical  school  efficiently  sustained  its 
organization  for  better  preliminary  education,  longer  annual  college  terms, 
properly  graded  curriculum  and  direct  clinical  instruction  in  both  hospital 
and  dispensary.  The  number  of  matriculants  had  increased  from  thirty- 
three  in  the  first  year  to  seventy-nine  the  fourth  year  and  the  temporary 
rooms  had  become  inadequate  for  their  accommodation.  The  time  had  also 
come  when  the  trustees  of  Lind  University  had  promised  to  have  a  new  and 
adequate  building  ready  for  the  permanent  accommodation  of  the  medical 
department.  But  the  disturbing  influences  of  the  civil  war  and  the  unexX 
pected  financial  failure  of  Sylvester  Lind,  who  had  promised  the  trustees  an  * 
endowment  of  $100,000  and  in  whose  honor  the  university  had  been  named, 
had  rendered  the  trustees  unable  to  fulfill  that  part  of  the  contract  with  the 
medical  faculty. 

This  contretemps  caused  the  trustees  of  Lind  University  to  change  the 
name  of  the  corporation  to  that  of  Lake  Forest  University  and  to  release  / 
the  medical  faculty  from  all  further  obligations  to  remain  a  department  of/ 
that  institution. 


208  HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO 

Being  thus  thrown  upon  their  own  resources,  the  members  of  the  med- 
ical faculty  soon  after  the  close  of  the  college  term  of  1862-63  decided  to 
continue  the  medical  school  as  an  independent  institution  and  issued  their 
annual  announcement  under  the  name  of  the  Chicago  Medical  College,  but 
without  any  change  in  the  membership  of  the  faculty  or  the  system  of  in- 
struction. 

A  lot  was  purchased  at  the  corner  of  State  Street  and  Twenty-second 
Street  (then  Ringgold  1'lace)  and  a  new  college  building  was  erected  in 
time  for  the  opening  of  the  college  term  in  October,  1863.  In  the  meantime 
the  usual  summer  courses  of  clinical  and  didactic  instructions  were  con- 
tinued for  the  benefit  of  a  considerable  class  of  students. 

Dr.  Davis,  in  inaugurating  the  term  of  1863,  said,  "Four  years  have  now 
elapsed  since  this  institution,  organized  in  the  manner  already  indicated, 
began  its  career  in  rooms  temporarily  fitted  up,  not,  as  facetiously  remarked 
by  an  enemy  of  the  enterprise,  in  the  loft  of  a  warehouse,  but  on  the  third 
and  fourth  floors  of  an  elegant  block  of  buildings  on  Market  Street.  The 
number  of  students  attending  the  first  annual  lecture  term  was  thirty-three ; 
the  second,  fifty-four;  the  third,  sixty-three;  and  the  fourth,  eighty-one. 
Thus  in  the  short  period  of  four  years  the  school  presented  a  larger  class 
than  the  old  and  justly  celebrated  medical  departments  of  Yale  and  Dart- 
mouth and  equal  to  the  classes  in  one-fourth  of  the  medical  schools  in 
the  Union." 

As  an  independent  educational  institution  the  Chicago  Medical  College 
was  incorporated  April  26,  1864,  the  following  members  of  the  faculty 
being  made  to  constitute  the  board  of  trustees : 

Doctors  James  S.  Jewell,  Hosmer  A.  Johnson,  John  H.  Hollister,  Henry 
Wing,  F.  Mahla,  Edmund  Andrews,  Ralph  N.  Isham,  William  H.  Byford, 
Nathan  S.  Davis  and  Mills  O.  Heydock. 

Dr.  Hosmer  A.  Johnson  was  elected  president  and  Edmund  Andrews 
secretary  of  the  board  of  trustees.  Dr.  Davis  was  choseri  dean  of  the 
4'aculty. 

In  1865  upon  the  resignation  of  Dr.  Henry  Wing  from  the  chair  of  materia 
medica,  Dr.  Heydock  succeeded'  him.  Dr.  J.  M.  Woodworth  became  dem- 
onstrator of  anatomy.  In  1866  Dr.  Johnson  resigned  from  his  .professorship 
because  of  ill  health  and  Dr.  Hollister  was  transferred  to  the  chair  of  general 
pathology  and  public  hygiene.  The  next  year  Dr.  Mahla  resigned  from 
the  chair  of  chemistry  and  J.  E.  Davies  was  appointed  in  his. place.  In  1868 
Professor  Davies  resigned  and  Dr.  C.  Gilbert  \Vheeler  was  made  professor 
of  chemistry.  During  this  year  Dr.  Joseph  S.  Hildreth  gave  a  course  of 
lectures  on  ophthalmology  and  otology  and  Dr.  Thomas  Bevan  was  appointed 
to  the  newly  created  chair  of  public  hygiene. 

In  1869,  Dr.  Jewell  having  resigned,  Dr.  H.  W.  Boyd  was  made  professor 
of  anatomy.  Dr.  Edward  O.  F.  Roler  was  made  professor  of  obstetrics  and 
diseases  of  children.  Dr.  J.  S.  Sherman,  was  chosen  adjunct  professor  of 
surgery  and  Dr.  Thomas  S.  Bond  demonstrator  of  anatomy,  Dr.  Woodworth 
having  resigned.  Later  in  the  year  Professor  Wheeler  resigned  and  Dr. 
N.  Gray  Bartlett  was  made  professor  of  inorganic  chemistry.  Dr.  H.  P. 
Merriman  was  chosen  professor  of  organic  chemistry  and  toxicology.  A 
chair  of  ophthalmology  and  otology  was  also  created  and  Dr.  Samuel  J. 
Jones  was  appointed  to  it.  Upon  the  resignation  of  Dr.  Heydock,  Dr. 


HISTORY  OF  MKOICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO 


William  E.  Ouine  was  made  professor  of  materia  meclica  and  therapeutics. 
The  latter  served  as  secretary  of  the  college  for  thirteen  years.  ^ 

In  this  year,  1869,  the  Chicago  Medical  College  became  the  medical  depart-  ) 
ment  of  Northwestern  University,  the  college  still  holding  title  to  its  prop- 
erty and  managing  its  finances.     However,  the  University  granted  the  degree 
of  Doctor  of  Medicine  to  those  recommended  by  the  faculty  of  the  medical  / 
college.  ,x 

The  University  at  this  time  gave  the  college  $15,000  toward  a  new  col- 
lege building  and  promised  $1,000  annually  to  apply  upon  the  salary  of  the 
professor  of  chemistry.  Students  in  the  college  of  liberal  arts  were  per- 
mitted to  take  courses  in  chemistry  in  the  medical  school  if  they  so  desired. 
The  college  for  the  next  twenty  years  was  known  as  Chicago  Medical  C'ol^X 
lege,  the  Medical  Department  of  Northwestern  University.  J 

In  1870  the  college  moved  from  its  building  in  State  Street  to  the  comer 
of  Twenty-sixth  Street  and  Prairie  Avenue.  It  adjoined  Mercy  Hospital 
and  about  this  time  all  the  professors  teaching  practical  branches  began  to 
give  clinical  instruction  in  their  specialties  in  Mercy  Hospital  or  in  the 
dispensary  in  the  college  building. 

At  intervals  in  the  next  twenty  years  the  following  departments  of  instruc- 
tion were  created  :  gynecology,  nervous  and  mental  diseases,  histology, 
laryngology  and  rhinology,  pediatrics,  physical  diagnosis  and  dermatology. 
The  department  of  materia  medica  and  therapeutics  Avas  abolished  and  one 
of  pharmacology  was  substituted. 

In  1890  Mercy  Hospital  needed  the  ground  upon  which  the  college  stood 
for  extensive  additions.  At  the  same  time  the  college  required  new  build- 
ings to  accommodate  its  laboratories  and  its  growing  dispensary. 

By  the  aid  of  William  Deering  land  was  purchased  at  the  corner  of 
Twenty-fifth  and  Dearborn  streets.  The  corner  half  of  this  was  set  aside 
for  Wesley  Hospital.  The  remainder  was  to  be  the  site  of  buildings  for 
the  medical,  dental  and  pharmacy  schools  of  the  university.  Buildings  were 
erected  on  this  land  in  1892  and  were  first  used  in  the  college  year  of  1893-4. 
These  buildings  are  the  present  home  of  the  college,  but  gradually  they 
have  been  completely  occupied  by  the  medical  department.  The  portion 
provided  for  the  dental  school  was  first  taken  by  the  medical  school  and  in 
1901  the  portion  occupied  by  the  pharmacy  school  also  was  occupied. 

In  1890  closer  union  with  Northwestern  University  was  effected.  All  the 
property  of  the  medical  school  was  given  to  the  University  in  trust  for 
the  medical  department  and  it  was  agreed  that  all  money  earned  by  the 
medical  school  should  be  expended  upon  it  and  that  all  additions  to  the 
faculty  or  removals  from  it  should  be  made  by  the  trustees  of  the  University 
upon  the  recommendation  of  an  executive  committee  of  the  faculty.  The 
name  was  changed  to  Northwestern  University  Medical  School,  and  since 
that  time  the  medical  department  has  been  an  integral  part  of  the  University. 

In   1890  four  years  of  medical  study  was  made  obligatory.     At  the  sameN 
time  the  college  year  was  lengthened  to  seven  months  and  in   1894  it  was    j 
made   eight   months.     The   first   practical,   systematic   and   required   courses^/ 
in  clinical  laboratory  methods  were  inaugurated  in  1899  by  Dr.  F.  R.  Zeit. 
These  were  the  first   courses  of  the  kind   given   in   any   medical   school   in 
the  United   States. 

The  year  1901  was  marked  by  the  accession  of  Dr.  John  B.  Murphy  to 
the  faculty  as  professor  of  surgery.  He  held  this  position  until  1905,  when 


210  HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO 

he  joined  the  faculty  of  Rush  Medical  College,  returning  in  1908  to  North- 
western, where  he  remained  until  his  death  in  1916. 

In  1902  Dr.  N.  S.  Davis,  II,  became  dean  of  the  faculty,  and  in  1904  Dr. 
Arthur  R.  Edwards  was  made  secretary.  Three  years  later  Dr.  Edwards 
was  elected  dean  and  held  the  position  for  nine  years. 

The  school  was  enriched  in  1911  by  a  gift  of  $250,000  by  Mr.  James  A. 
Patten  to  advance  research  medicine  and  investigation  along  laboratory  and 
clinical  lines.  Mr.  Patten  also  established  a  fund  of  $50,000  for  four  re- 
search fellowships  yielding  $600  each.  Professor  Arthur  I.  Kendall,  who 
established  the  first  laboratory  in  the  Panama  Canal  Zone  and  whose  studies 
on  chemical  bacteriology  had  received  world-wide  recognition,  was  secured 
from  Harvard  University  as  professor  of  bacteriology  and  to  direct  the  work 
established  under  the  Patten  Foundation. 

At  this  time  a  rule  was  put  into  effect  requiring  two  years  of  college 
work  for  admission  to  the  medical  school.  This  requirement  resulted  in 
a  marked  reduction  in  students  from  1912  to  1915. 

A  second  large  gift  to  the  medical  school  came  in  1914,  when  Mr.  James 
Deering  gave  $1,000,000  for  clinical  teaching  work  in  Wesley  Memorial 
Hospital.  This  gift  placed  control  of  the  hospital  under  the  supervision  of 
the  faculty  of  the  medical  school,  as  was  contracted  in  the  original  agree- 
ment between  the  hospital  and  the  school. 

The  arrangement  virtually  makes  Wesley  Hospital  a  "University  hos- 
pital," in  which  the  clinicians  of  the  school  and  the  laboratory  men  are 
nominated  by  the  university  trustees  as  members  of  the  hospital  staff,  thus 
controlling  hospital  teaching  and  charity  service.  Under  this  plan  the  stu- 
dent is  educated  to  carry  on  Observations  and  treatment  under  the  guidance 
of  the  teachers  of  the  medical  school  and  he  can  command  the  expert  aid 
of  the  pathologist,  bacteriologist,  chemist,  physiologist  and  anatomist  to 
unravel  obscure  problems. 

At  the  beginning  of  1915  a  fifth  year  was  added  to  the  course.  Under 
the  rule  a  student,  after  completing  the  four-year  course,  must  serve  a  year 
as  interne  or  in  research  work  before  being  awarded  his  medical  degree. 

Upon  the  resignation  of  Dr.  Edwards  as  dean  in  September,  1916,  Pro- 
fessor Kendall  was  appointed  acting  dean.  Later  he  was  made  dean,  the 
position  he  now  holds. 

Under  Dean  Kendall  there  has  been  a  reorganization  of  the  divisional 
courses  of  instruction,  securing  more  effective  administration  and  more 
efficient  teaching  and  systematic  progressive  instruction  in  all  departments. 
He  also  brought  about  a  reorganization  of  personnel  and  methods  of  instruc- 
tion in  the  clinical  dispensaries  and  more  logical  relations  between  didactic 
instruction  and  practical  application  in  the  clinical  subjects. 

The  courses  of  the  first  two  years  were  rearranged  with  a  view  to 
improved  sequence  of  subjects.  A  student  faculty  council  was  inaugurated 
to  confer  upon  matters  of  mutual  interest  to  student  and  instructor. 

The  medical  department  of  the  United  States  Army  controlled  the  school 
from  October  1,  1918,  to  December  21,  1918.  Of  the  289  students  enrolled, 
223  were  inducted  into  the  Students'  Army  Training  Corps  and  24  into  the 
Naval  Reserve  Force.  Of  132  faculty  members,  80  were  commissioned  in 
the  Army  and  Navy  Medical  Corps.  By  the  beginning  of  the  second  tri- 
mester in  1918  a  sufficient  number  of  teachers  had  been  relieved  from  duty 
to  permit  of  a  more  flexible  program  for  the  remainder  of  the  school  year. 


211 


In  the  post-war  period  of  1918  Dean  Kendall  was  chosen  head  of  a  com- 
mission of  the  Rockefeller  Foundation  to  Ecuador  to  study  yellow  fever  in 
and  about  the  seaport  city  of  Guayaquil.  Dr.  Charles  A.  Elliott,  professor 
of  medicine,  and  Mr.  H.  E.  Redenbaugh  of  the  department  of  chemistry  also 
became  members  of  this  commission,  which,  with  Dr.  Noguchi  of  the  Rocke- 
feller Institute,  discovered  the  etiology  of  yellow  fever. 

The  laboratory  work  of  the  school  has  ever  been  an  important  feature. 
From  available  records  it  appears  that  the  first  regular  laboratory  course 
was  given  in  1868.  This  was  initiated  through  the  opening  of  a  laboratory 
of  practical  and  analytical  chemistry,  "both  for  the  instruction  of  students 
and  performance  of  all  kinds  of  work  usually  accomplished  in  such  labora- 
tories." Only  the  didactic  course  was  required,  the  laboratory  course  being 
optional,  but  "urgently  recommended." 

This  course  was  under  the  direction  of  Dr.  C.  Gilbert  Wheeler,  who  was 
succeeded  in  1870  by  Dr.  N.  Gray  Bartlett.  Others  who  served  as  professors 
of  chemistry  in  the  early  years  were  Doctors  Walter  S.  Haines  and  Marcus  P. 
Hatfield. 

In  1881  Dr.  John  H.  Long  was  engaged  to  teach  inorganic  chemistry. 
Two  years  later  he  was  made  professor  of  chemistry,  a  position  he  held 
until  his  death  in  June,  1918. 

The  first  regular  laboratory  work  in  histology  was  begun  in  1877-78  under 
the  direction  of  Dr.  Lester  Curtis  and  was  given  through  a  course  of  six 
weeks.  Little  laboratory  work  in  physiology,  bacteriology  and  pathology 
was  done  in  the  early  years  and  it  was  not  until  the  opening  of  the  present 
building  in  1893  that  ample  provision  was  made  for  the  needs  of  these 
departments.  Since  that  time  the  work  in  all  of  these  departments  has  been 
developed,  keeping  step  with  scientific  progress. 

BENNETT  MEDICAL  COLLEGE  . 

Eclecticism  was  to  the  fore  in  Chicago  in  1868,  when  the  Bennett  College  J 
of  Eclectic  Medicine  and  Surgery  was  organized.    The  prime  movers  in  the-/ 
organization  were  Doctors  H.  D.   Garrison,  A.  L.  Clark,  H.  K.  Whitford, 
J.  F.  Cook  and  H.  C.  French. 

For  the  first  course  of  lectures  rooms  were  secured  on  Kinzie  Street,  near 
the  corner  of  LaSalle  Street.  The  inaugural  address  was  given  by  Dr.  J.  F. 
Cook  on  the  evening  of  November  1,  1868,  and  the  course  of  lectures  began 
the  next  day.  Nine  men  and  one  woman  were  graduated  at  the  end  of  the 
first  session. 

A  charter  was  obtained  from  the  legislature  on  March  25,  1869.  Dr.  L.  S. 
Major  was  chosen  as  the  first  president  of  the  board  of  trustees  and  held  this 
position  until  1872,  when  Dr.  A.  L.  Clark  was  elected  president,  continuing 
as  such  for  more  than  thirty  years. 

During  the  summer  of  1869  the  college  obtained  quarters  at  180  East 
Washington  Street.  \Vhen  this  building  was  consumed  by  the  great  fire  of 
1871,  temporary  quarters  were  obtained  at  the  southeast  corner  of  Twenty- 
second  and  State  Streets  and  a  month  later  the  entire  belongings  of  the  col- 
lege were  moved  to  461  South  Clark  Street.  The  year  1875  found  the  college 
located  at  511  and  513  State  street,  where  it  remained  until  1889,  when  i 
was  removed  to  the  corner  of  Ada  and  Fulton  streets  in  order  to  have  better 
clinical  facilities  for  the  study  of  medicine.  It  was  in  this  latter  year  that 


212  HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO 

the  Cook  County  Commissioners  first  appointed  practitioners  of  the  eclectic 
school  to  the  attending  staff  of  Cook  County  Hospital.  With  this  followed 
the  appointment  of  students  who  had  graduated  from  the  Bennett  College 
of  Eclectic  Medicine  and  Surgery  as  internes. 

In  1907  the  college  was  changed  from  an  eclectic  to  a  regular  school  and 
its  name  was  changed  to  the  Bennett  Medical  College.  Three  years  later 
the  Illinois  Medical  College  and  Reliance  Medical  College  were  consolidated 
with  it.  At  this  time  it  became  the  Medical  Department  of  Loyola  Uni- 
versity. In  1915  the  college  was  transferred  to  Loyola  University  and 
formed  the  Loyola  University  School  of  Medicine.

WOMAN'S    MEDICAL    SCHOOL 

Refusal  of  local  medical  colleges  to  admit  women  as  students  led  to  the 
foundation  of  the  Woman's  Medical  College,  August  2,  1870. 

In  1852  Emily  Blackwell  attended  a  course  of  lectures  in  Rush  Medical  Col- 
lege, whereupon,  according  to  the  late  Dr.  Charles  Warrington  Earle,  the 
Illinois  State  Medical  Society,  then  saturated  with  the  prevailing  prejudices 
against  female  medical  education,  censured  Rush  Medical  College.  Emily 
Blackwell  was  denied  admission  to  the  second-year  course  and  was  forced  to 
go  elsewhere. 

In  1865  Dr.  Mary  H.  Thompson,  who  had  taken  an  active  part  in  founding 
the  Hospital  for  Women  and  Children,  invoked  the  aid  of  Dr.  William  Heath 
Byford  in  the  matter  of  procuring  for  women  admission  to  the  lectures  of  the 
Chicago  Medical  College,  now  Northwestern  University  Medical  School;  Dr. 
Byford,  a  member  of  the  faculty  of  Chicago  Medical  College,  cordially  gave 
his  support  and  through  his  efforts  the  college  consented  to  admit  women. 

Eonr  women,  one  of  whom  was  Dr.  Thompson,  matriculated  in  accordance 
with  this  decree,  several  other  applicants  having  decided  in  the  meantime  to 
proceed  to  the  Pennsylvania  Medical  College.  Dr.  Thompson  herself  was 
granted  a  diploma  after  some  hesitancy  and  warm  discussion  about  the  pro- 
priety of  bestowing  a  degree  upon  a  woman.  The  following  year  women 
were  denied  admission. 

In  these  circumstances  Dr.  Byford  suggested  the  foundation  of  the  Wo- 
man's Hospital  Medical  College.  His  plan  having  been  approved,  he  called 
a  meeting  in  his  office  August  2,  1870.  Present  at  this  gathering  were  Doc- 
tors Byford,  Thompson,  Eugene  Marguerat,  Roswell  G.  Bogue,  Norman 
Bridge,  Charles  Warrington  Earle,  Addison  H.  Foster  and  Thomas  D.  Fitch. 
It  was  decided  forthwith  to  establish  a  woman's  medical  college  and  that  same 
night  a  faculty  was  formed,  in  part  composed  of  the  persons  present  and  Dr. 
William  Godfrey  Dyas. 

By  October,  1870,  the  faculty  was  completed  and  a  home  provided.  The 
institution  was  founded  under  the  name  of  the  Woman's  Hospital  Medical 
College.  Dr.  Byford  was  the  president. 

The  first  regular  course  of  lectures  began  with  seventeen  students  and  was 
given  in  the  Women's  and  Children's  Hospital,  then  located  at  402  North 
Clark  Street.  The  course  closed  in  1871.  three  women  having  received  their 
diplomas.

Fifteen  students  attended  a  spring  course  from  April  1  to  July  1,  1871.  The 
second  session  began  October  3,  1871,  in  quarters  at  3  North  Clark  Street,  the 
faculty  being  as  follows:  Doctors  William  Heath  Byford,  president  of  the 
faculty  and  professor  of  clinical  surgery  of  women;  William  Godfrey  Dyas, 
professor  of  theory  and  practice  of  medicine;  M.  A.  Fisher,  professor  emeritus 
of  surgery;  Roswell  G.  Bogue,  professor  of  surgery;  Thomas  D.  Fitch,  pro- 
fessor of  obstetrics;  Charles  Warrington  Earle,  professor  of  physiology; 
Charles  G.  Smith,  professor  of  diseases  of  children ;  Mary  H.  Thompson,  pro- 
fessor of  hygiene  and  clinical  obstetrics  and  diseases  of  women;  Samuel  C. 
Blake,  professor  of  diseases  of  the  mind  and  nervous  system ;  Gerhard  C.  Pa- 
oli.  professor  of  materia  medica  and  therapeutics;  Samuel  A.  McWilliams, 
professor  of  anatomy;  Norman  Bridge,  professor  of  pathology;  Addison  H. 
Foster,  professor  of  surgical  anatomy  and  operative  surgery;  Samuel  Cole, 
professor  of  ophthalmology  and  otology ;  P.  S.  MacDonald,  professor  of  anat- 
omy; and  M.  Delafontaine,  Ph.  D.,  professor  of  chemistry. 

The  great  fire  of  1871  swept  away  the  college  and  hospital  with  all  their 
tangible  belongings.  But,  although  three-fourths  of  the  faculty  had  lost 
their  homes,  their  offices  and  their  libraries,  the  members  convened  on 
October  10,  amid  the  smoking  ruins  of  the  city  and  decided  that  the  college 
should  be  continued.  The  students  were  notified  and  lectures  were  resumed 
on  the  west  side  in  a  dwelling  at  341  West  Adams  Street.  The  hospital 
was  re-established  in  another  residence  at  600  West  Adams  Street.  To  this 
the  college  was  again  soon  moved. 

"The  little  barn"  became  the  quarters  of  the  college  in  1872.  This  barn 
was  of  mean  proportions  and  was  located  in  the  rear  of  the  lot  occupied 
by  the  hospital  at  Adams  and  Paulina  streets.  Enough  money  was  expended 
upon  this  shabby  old  barn  to  make  it  fairly  comfortable.  On  the  first  floor 
was  a  small  lecture  room  and  museum.  The  second  floor  was  used  for  an 
anatomical  laboratory. 

Five  classes  were  graduated  from  "the  little  barn,"  many  members  of 
which  gained  honorable  distinction  in  the  medical  profession.  Among  them 
were  Doctors  Rosa  Engert,  Sarah  Hackett  Stevenson,  Margaret  E.  Holland, 
Lucinda  Corr,  Edith  A.  Root,  Margaret  Caldwell  and  Harriet  E.  Garrison. 

"The  little  barn"  began  to  be  irksome  as  early  as  1873,  and  many  of  the 
students  and  members  of  the  faculty  demanded  a  better  equipped  college. 
Union  with  Northwestern  University  was  suggested  as  a  way  out  of  the 
difficulty.  A  committee  was  appointed  to  negotiate  with  Northwestern,  but 
nothing  ever  came  of  the  conversations.  A  faction  of  the  medical  faculty 
earnestly  advocated  a  new  building.  During  the  year  1875,  there  were 
several  resignations  from  the  teaching  force.  The  office  of  corresponding 
secretary  was  created  and  Dr.  Mary  H.  Thompson  was  named1  to  fill 
the  position.  At  the  same  time  Dr.  Sarah  Hackett  Stevenson  was  elected 
to  the  chair  of  physiology. 

It  was  at  this  time  that  Dr.  David  W.  Graham  became  connected  with 
the  college  as  demonstrator  of  anatomy.  Two  years  later  he  became  pro- 
fessor of  anatomy  and  later  professor  of  surgery.  This  position  he  held  until 
1898.  Throughout  his  connection  with  the  college,  Dr.  Graham  was  most 
active  in  its  affairs  and  its  councils. 

The  new  building  remained  a  matter  of  prime  importance  in  the  minds 
of  those  who  strongly  favored  the  measure,  while  others  as  strongly  opposed 
it,  believing  it  to  be  an  unwarrantable  undertaking.  In  March,  1877,  the 


214  HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO 

situation  became  desperate.  Funds  were  low  and  the  number  of  students 
had  fallen  off,  owing  to  dissensions  in  the  faculty  and  the  half-hearted 
interest  that  was  taken  in  the  teaching. 

At  this  juncture  a  committee  was  appointed  consisting  of  Doctors  Byford, 
Dyas  and  John  Bartlett,  to  investigate  the  institution  in  all  its  bearings  upon 
medical  instruction.  The  committee  reported  that  it  was  indispensable  to 
the  future  progress  of  the  school  to  secure  a  better  building,  better  and 
more  apparatus,  and  better  attendance  to  duty  on  the  part  of  the  faculty. 

Followed  then,  a  series  of  fruitless  negotiations  until  March  27,  1877,  when 
Dr.  Byford  so  vigorously  criticized  the  anomalies  existing  in  the  college 
that  a  motion  prevailed,  calling  upon  every  member  of  the  faculty,  except 
those  on  the  committee,  to  resign.  Dr.  Dyas  vacated  the  chair,  which  was 
now  assumed  by  the  chairman  of  the  committee  on  reorganization. 

The  faculty  as  reorganized  consisted  of  Doctors  William  Heath  Byford, 
president  and  professor  of  obstetrics ;  Thomas  D.  Fitch,  secretary  and  pro- 
fessor of  gynecology ;  Charles  Warrington  Earle,  treasurer  and  professor 
of  diseases  of  children ;  Isaac  Newton  Danforth,  professor  of  pathology; 
John  E.  Owens,  professor  of  surgery ;  Henry  M.  Lyman,  professor  of  theory 
and  practice  of  medicine;  Daniel  Roberts  Brower,  professor  of  materia 
medica  and  therapeutics  and  nervous  diseases ;  Sarah  Hackett  Stevenson, 
corresponding  secretary  and  professor  of  physiology ;  David  Wilson  Graham, 
professor  of  anatomy  and  Plymon  S.  Hayes,  professor  of  chemistry. 

Dr.  Mary  H.  Thompson  refused  to  accept  a  proffered  place  on  the  faculty. 

The  new  faculty  began  business  with  ten  dollars  in  the  treasury.  Forth- 
with the  members  organized  a  stock  company  in  June,  1877,  and  incor- 
porated under  the  name  of  the  Woman's  Medical  College  of  Chicago.  They 
severed  all  organic  connection  with  the  hospital  and  purchased  a  residence 
at  337  and  339  South  Lincoln  Street.  This  building  was  remodeled  so  as 
to  comprise  two  amphitheaters,  an  anatomical  laboratory  and  a  chemical 
laboratory.  The  equipment  now  placed  the  Woman's  Medical  College  among 
the  recognized  schools  of  medicine.  Classes  doubled  in  size,  harmony  pre- 
vailed and  the  school  prospered. 

The  increase  in  requirements  and  the  growing  demand  for  better  oppor- 
tunities soon  made  it  necessary  to  erect  a  new  and  larger  building,  which 
was  completed  in  1890.  The  old  building  was  remodeled  for  laboratory  and 
dispensary  purposes  and  was  connected  directly  with  the  new  one. 

The  new  building  had  two  amphitheaters,  each  with  a  seating  capacity 
of  150,  new  laboratories  and  additional  conveniences.  From  a  despised 
and  impoverished  institution,  the  Woman's  Medical  College  had  grown  into 
a  well-equipped  school,  with  valuable  property  holdings,  and  its  earnings 
provided  for  all  incidental  and  running  expenses  and  a  fair  dividend  on 
the  money  expended. 

With  the  change  that  had  taken  place  in  public  sentiment  concerning 
the  admission  of  women  to  higher  institutions  of  learning  and  with  the 
high  standing  which,  the  school  itself  had  attained,  it  now  seemed  desirable 
on  the  part  of  Northwestern  University  and  on  the  part  of  the  college,  that 
the  two  should  become  allied.  In  1892,  the  college  was  made  a  part  of  the 
university  and  assumed  the  name  of  Northwestern  University  Woman's 
Medical  School,  to  be  conducted  as  a  regular  school  of  medicine  for  the 
education  of  women  only. 


HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO  215 

Dr.  Byford  served  the  college  as  president  until  his  death  on  May  21, 
1890,  when  he  was  succeeded  by  Dr.  Charles  Warrington  Earle.  When  the 
college  was  merged  with  the  university,  Dr.  Earle  was  made  dean  of  the 
faculty  by  the  university  trustees  and  served  in  this  capacity  until  his 
death  in  1893. 

After  the  death  of  Dr.  Earle,  Dr.  Isaac  N.  Danforth  was  appointed  dean 
and  continued  in  office  until  1899,  when  he  resigned.  Dr.  Danforth  was 
succeeded  by  Dr.  Marie  Josepha  Mergler,  who  held  office  until  her  death, 
May  18,  1901.  Dr.  Eliza  H.  Root,  a  member  of  the  class  of  1882,  was 
appointed  dean  by  the  university  trustees  and  went  out  of  office  with  the 
closing  of  the  school  in  1902.  The  principal  cause  that  led  to  the  closing 
of  the  school  was  the  fact  that  for  several  years  it  had  failed  to  pay  expenses, 
and  the  officials  of  Northwestern  University  felt  that  to  continue  it  as  a 
separate  department  entailed  too  much  of  a  drain  upon  university  funds. 

A  total  of  575  women  was  graduated  from  the  school,  among  them  some 
fifty  medical  missionaries  who  pursued  careers  in  India,  China,  Japan,  Korea, 
Persia,  Africa,  Mexico,  Alaska  and  at  home.  The  first  woman  sent  out 
was  Dr.  Lettie  Mason,  who  went  to  China  as  a  representative  of  the 
Woman's  Foreign  Missionary  Society  of  the  Methodist  Episcopal  Church. 
After  her  return  from  China  she  became  the  wife  of  Dr.  William  E.  Quine. 

CHICAGO      HOMEOPATHIC      MEDICAL      COLLEGE 

Pledging  themselves  to  "a  more  thorough  training  and  a  much  higher 
standard  of  requirement  both  for  entrance  and  for  graduation,"  a  group  of 
doctors  withdrew  from  Hahnemann  Medical  College  in  the  spring  of  1876' 
and  organized  the  Chicago  Homeopathic  Medical  College. 

In  this  coterie  were  Doctors  J.  S.  Mitchell,  S.  P.  Hedges,  A.  G.  Beebe, 
Charles  Adams,  Willis  Danforth,  R.  N.  Foster,  W.  H.  Woodyatt,  E.  M.  Hale, 
E.  H.  Pratt,  J.  R.  Kippax,  and  N.  B.  Delamater.  Associated  with  them  were 
Doctors  J.  W.  Streeter,  A.  W.  Woodward,  R.  N.  Tooker  and  Romyn  Hitch- 
cock. 

Sanction  to  the  movement  was  given  by  Doctors  G.  E.  Shipman,  H.  P. 
Gatchell,  Rodney  Welch  and  Leonard  Pratt  who,  by  reason  of  previous 
service  with  virtually  the  same  faculty,  were  made  emeritus  professors. 

Officers  of  the  new  college  were  J.  S.  Mitchell,  president;  Charles  Adams, 
secretary ;  W.  H.  Woodyatt,  treasurer ;  A.  W.  Woodward,  business  manager. 

The  first  course  opened  October  4,  1876,  in  the  building  formerly  occupied 
by  the  Academy  of  Design  at  the  corner  of  Michigan  Avenue  and  Van  Buren 
Street.  Clinical  instruction  was  provided  in  a  hospital  fitted  up  in  a  part 
of  the  structure.  There  were  45  matriculants  in  the  first  class,  15  of  whom 
were  graduated  the  following  March. 

In  the  following  years  the  size  of  the  classes  continued  to  increase  to  the 
satisfaction  of  the  officers  and  members  of  the  faculty. 

In  1880,  however,  came  a  crisis  in  the  history  of  the  school,  for  it  was  found 
that  the  expense  of  furnishing  a  higher  education  was  far  greater  than  the 
income  from  the  students.  In  the  spring  of  1881  so  great  was  the  dis- 
couragement of  the  faculty  that  its  members  seriously  considered  a  proposal 
to  give  up  the  work  upon  which  they  had  started  with  much  promise. 

Directly  in  the  face  of  this  gloomy  situation  Dr.  N.  B.  Delamater,  who  had 
been  elected  business  manager  in  1879,  boldly  presented  plans  for  a  new 
building  directly  opposite  Cook  County  Hospital,  and  so  energetic  was  Dr. 


216  HISTORY  OF  MEUJCJNE  AND  SUKCKUY   i.\   CHICAGO 

Delamater's  leadership  that  he  not  only  purchased  the  site  himself,  but  saw 
to  it  that  the  new  college  edifice  was  built  and  ready  for  occupancy  in  the 
fall  of  1881.  In  connection  with  this  project  Dr.  Delamater  had  promised 
that  he  would  secure  the  introduction  of  homeopathy  into  Cook  County  Hos- 
pital. He  promptly  made  good. 

In  1881  Dr.  J.  R.  Kippax  was  elected  corresponding  secretary  and  Dr.  J. 
F.  Buffum  was  made  treasurer. 

In  1883  Dr.  R.  N.  Foster  was  elected  president;  Dr.  R.  N.  Tooker,  vice 
president ;  Dr.  A.  W.  Woodward,  treasurer,  and  Dr.  A.  G.  Beebe,  business 
manager. 

In  1884  Dr  J.  S.  Mitchell  was  again  elected  president;  Dr.  F.  H.  Pratt,  vice 
president;  Dr.  Kippax,  secretary;  Dr.  Woodward,  treasurer,  and  Dr.  Buffum, 
business  manager. 

In  1885  Dr.  L.  C.  Grosvenor  was  elected  treasurer,  the  other  officers 
remaining  the  same.  After  this  year  no  changes  were  made  in  the  roster  of 
officers  until  1897,  when,  on  account  of  Dr.  Grosvenor's  health,  Dr.  A.  G. 
Beebe  was  elected  treasurer. 

In.  1894  the  Chicago  Homeopathic  Hospital  was  erected  on  ground  imme- 
diately adjoining  the  college  building.  It  contained  fifty  beds,  most  of  the 
first  floor  being  utilized  for  laboratory  purposes. 

Great  loss  was  suffered  by  the  college  when  President  J.  S.  Mitchell  died 
in  1899.  He  had  held  office  almost  continuously  from  the  time  when  the 
college  was  founded. 

"It  was  through  his  wise  and  judicious  administration,"  wrote  Dr.  Allen 
C.  Cowperthwaite,  "that  harmony  in  the  faculty  was  maintained  and  the 
highest  excellence  in  teaching  was  secured." 

Dr.  Kippax  was  unanimously  elected  to  succeed  Dr.  Mitchell  in  the  pres- 
idency. In  1901  Dr.  Kippax,  on  account  of  his  health,  refused  re-election 
and  Dr.  Cowperthwaite  was  elected  president  and  Dr.  W.  M.  Stearns,  secre- 
tary. 

Notwithstanding  the  recognized  high  standing  of  the  college  and  the  good 
work  it  was  accomplishing  in  the  cause  of  higher  education,  there  was  a  con- 
stant undercurrent  of  feeling  that  perhaps  it  was  not  wise  and  for  the  best 
interest  of  homeopathy  that  two  colleges  working  along  the  same  lines 
should  exist  in  the  same  city.  This  sentiment  finally  crystallized  and  on 
January  1,  1905,  the  combined  faculties  and  classes  began  work  under  the 
name  of  the  Hahnemann  Medical  College  of  Chicago  in  the  building  of  that 
institution. 

"Thus  ended/'  wrote  Dr.  Cowperthwaite,  "the  existence  and  work  of  the 
Chicago  Homeopathic  Medical  College,  which  for  twenty-eight  years  had 
contributed  a  large  share  to  the  history  of  homeopathy  in  this  country  and 
especially  in  the  west.  During  all  this  time  the  college  never  had  varied  in 
keeping  up  a  high  standard  of  scientific  teaching  and  thorough  loyalty  to  the 
principles  of  Hahnemann."

COLLEGE  OF  MEDICINE   OF  THE  UNIVERSITY    OF  ILLINOIS 
Congress   and   Honore   Streets 


"COLLEGE     OF     MEDICINE     OF    THE 
UNIVERSITY     OF     ILLINOIS 

Medical  department  of  one  of  the  most  completely  equipped  and  liberally 
financed  state  universities  in  the  nation. 

Theater  for  the  teaching  activities  of  some  of  the  most  eminent  surgeons 
and  medical  practitioners. 

A  pioneer  in  the  advancement  of  medical  education,  especially  in  that  it 
was  one  of  the  first  among  the  medical  colleges  of  the  west  to  inaugurate 
extensive  laboratory  teaching. 

Possessor,  soon,  of  one  of  the  broadest  clinical  fields  in  the  country. 

An  appraisal  of  the  College  of  Medicine  of  the  University  of  Illinois, 
formerly  the  College  of  Physicians  and  Surgeons  of  Chicago,  would  include 
those  factors. 

Plans  for  the  establishment  of  a  new  medical  college  on  the  west  side 
adjacent  to  the  county  hospital  were  formulated  by  Dr.  Charles  Warrington 
Earle  as  early  as  1876,  but  it  was  not  until  May  4,  1881,  that  a  conference 
was  held  at  which  definite  arrangements  were  made  to  launch  the  project. 
Present  at  this  meeting  were  Doctors  A.  Reeves  Jackson,  Charles  Warring- 
ton  F.arle,  Leonard  St.  John,  Samuel  A.  McWilliams  and  Daniel  Atkinson 
King  Steele.  The  consensus  was  that  the  time  had  come  to  meet  the 
demand  of  the  medical  profession  generally  for  a  more  thorough  and  prac- 
tical plan  of  college  instruction  than  had  theretofore  been  usual  among  the 
medical  colleges  of  the  country. 

*The  following  history  has  been  compiled  from  various  sources.  Chief  among  these  are  separate  histories 
of  the  College  of  Physicians  and  Surgeons  of  Chicago,  prepared  l>y  Doctors  William  K.  Ouine  and  D.  A.  K. 
Steele  and  assembled  by  Dr.  William  Allen  1'usey.  Further  information  was  given  by  Doctors  Edward 
Louis  Heintz  and  Charles  Davison.  The  history  of  the  College  in  recent  years  is  based  upon  a  sketch  by- 
Dean  Albert  C.  Kycleshymer.  Valuable  information  was  obtained  from  a  history  of  the  institution  written 
by  Dr.  John  M.  Kra^a.  ' 


218  HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO 

In  all  other  departments  of  learning  it  was  deemed  necessary  so  to  arrange 
the  subjects  of  study  that  the  pupil  was  led  systematically  from  those  of  an 
elementary  and  fundamental  character  to  the  more  advanced  branches.  In 
medicine,  however,  a  science  in  which  accuracy  and  completeness  of  attain- 
ment on  the  part  of  its  students  involved  more  important  interests  than 
any  other,  this  reasonable  and  philosophic  system  was,  for  the  most  part, 
ignored. 

To  help  correct  this  educational  anomaly  it  was  decided  to  found  the  Col- 
lege of  Physicians  and  Surgeons  of  Chicago,  a  designation  suggested  by  Dr. 
McWilliams.  Doctors  Jackson,  Earle  and  Steele  procured  the  license  to 
incorporate  on  July  2,  1881,  and  the  final  certificate  of  incorporation  was 
granted  to  Doctors  Jackson,  McWilliams,  Steele,  St.  John  and  Earle  on  Octo- 
ber 14,  1881. 

For  $5,000  a  site  at  the  northwest  corner  of  Harrison  and  Honore  streets 
had  been  procured  by  Doctors  Jackson  and  McWilliams,  the  sum  being 
advanced  in  equal  shares  by  Doctors  Jackson,  McWilliams,  St.  John,  Earle 
and  Steele. 

The  capital  stock  of  the  corporation  originally  was  fixed  at  $30,000  and 
was  subscribed  by  the  five  incorporators.  On  July  18,  1882,  the  capital  stock 
was  increased  to  $60,000  and  each  member  of  the  faculty  subscribed  $2,000. 

The  first  board  of  directors  consisted  of  Doctors  Jackson,  McWilliams, 
Steele,  St.  John  and  Earle. 

The  first  eight  members  of  the  faculty  were  elected  December  29,  1881, 
when  a  curriculum  was  adopted.  The  original  faculty  members  were  Dr.  A. 
Reeves  Jackson,  professor  of  surgical  diseases  of  women  and  clinical  gynecol- 
ogy ;  Dr.  Samuel  A.  McWilliams,  professor  of  clinical  medicine,  diseases  of 
the  chest  and  physical  diagnosis;  Dr.  D.  A.  K.  Steele,  professor  of  ortho- 
pedic surgery ;  Dr.  Leonard  St.  John,  professor  of  demonstrations  of  surgery, 
surgical  appliances  and  minor  surgery;  Dr.  Charles  Warrington  Earle,  pro- 
fessor of  obstetrics ;  Dr.  Henry  Palmer,  professor  of  operative  surgery,  clin- 
ical surgery  and  surgical  pathology ;  Dr.  Robert  L.  Rea,  professor  of  prin- 
ciples and  practice  of  surgery  and  clinical  surgery,  and  Dr.  Frank  E.  Waxham, 
professor  of  diseases  of  children. 

Soon  the  faculty  was  enlarged  by  the  addition  of  the  following  members : 
Dr.  John  E.  Harper,  professor  of  ophthalmology  and  clinical  diseases  of  the 
eye;  Dr.  A.  M.  Carpenter,  professor  of  practice  of  medicine;  Dr.  J.  J.  M. 
Angear,  professor  of  principles  of  medicine;  Dr.  A.  W.  Harlan,  professor  of 
dental  surgery;  Dr.  W.  A.  Yohn,  professor  of  inorganic  chemistry;  Dr.  Albert 
E.  Hoadley,  professor  of  descriptive  anatomy;  Dr.  Pinckney  French,  pro- 
fessor of  surgical  anatomy;  Dr.  F.  B.  Eisen-Bockius,  professor  of  medical 
'jurisprudence;  Dr.  T.  A.  Keeton,  professor  of  genito-urinary  diseases;  Dr. 
C.  C.  P.  Silva,  professor  of  therapeutics;  Dr.  Oscar  A.  King,  professor  of 
diseases  of  the  mind  and  nervous  system;  and  Dr.  Romaine  J.  Curtis,  pro- 
fessor of  state  medicine  and  hygiene. 

The  first  regular  session  of  the  college  began  September  26,  1882,  a  class 
of  100  having  matriculated.  This  number  gradually  increased  to  165.  By 
this  time  the  college  edifice  had  been  completed  under  the  supervision  of  the 
architect,  George  H.  Edbrooke.  The  structure  was  unsurpassed  at  that 
time  for  beauty  of  design  and  amplitude  of  equipment. 

The  West  Side  Free  Dispensary,  organized  by  Dr.  McWilliams,  occupied 
the  first  floor  of  the  institution  and  was  under  the  exclusive  control  of  the 


HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO  219 

college  faculty.    Here  students  were  initiated  into  the  details  of  actual  prac- 
tice in  the  various  specialties. 

At  the  close  of  the  first  session  of  the  college  52  of  the  165  students  had 
been  graduated,  and  7,504  patients  had  been  examined,  demonstrated  and 
treated  at  the  dispensary. 

A  factor  that  was  to  exert  great  influence  in  the  affairs  of  the  institution 
now  appeared  in  the  person  of  Dr.  William  E.  Quine,  who  was  appointed 
professor  of  medicine.  At  this  time  a  spring  course  and  a  practitioner's 
course  were  added  to  the  curriculum. 

Although  the  opening  was  auspicious,  for  several  years  thereafter  the  col- 
lege underwent  numerous  vicissitudes.  The  administration  of  the  institution 
was  attended  with  ceaseless  turmoil  and  with  frequent  changes  in  the  mem- 
bership of  the  faculty.  The  policy  which  limited  the  right  to  teach  in  a  par- 
ticular field  to  the  person  who  had  bought  the  stock  covering  the  field  was 
responsible  for  some  of  the  discord.  Intriguing  for  official  prominence  on 
the  part  of  one  or  two  individuals  engendered  dissension  and  opposition  on 
the  part  of  others  to  some  of  the  policies  of  the  governing  board  caused  a 
great  deal  of  trouble.  Overshadowing  all  were  general  uneasiness  and  dis- 
affection resulting  from  the  financial  stability  of  the  enterprise. 

Dr.  Earle,  who  was  one  of  the  stormiest  and  most  persistent  of  the  insur- 
gents and  one  of  the  strongest  men  in  the  institution,  was  ousted  from  the 
board  of  directors  by  the  dominant  four  and  Dr.  Quine,  his  closest  friend,  was 
substituted. 

The  college  was  not  self-supporting.  Year  after  year  there  was  a  deficit 
in  the  treasury  which  aggregated  $30,000  in  the  first  ten  years.  The  financial 
standing  of  the  corporation  was  constantly  becoming  weaker  and  it  was  next 
to  impossible  to  get  a  quorum  at  meetings,  for  the  members  were  well  aware 
that  the  usual  object  of  the  gatherings  was  to  raise  money.  For  several  years 
Doctors  Earle,  Steele  and  Quine  pledged  their  private  property  to  the  extent 
of  $45,000  to  take  care  of  college  obligations  and  it  is  doubtful  that,  if  any 
one  of  these  had  failed  in  his  loyalty  during  this  trying  period,  the  college 
would  have  survived. 

Dr.  Quine,  acting  on  the  appeal  of  Doctors  Steele  and  Jackson,  undertook  a 
reorganization  of  the  institution  in  1892.  Doctors  McWilliams,  St.  John  and 
Harper  retired  and  Dr.  Earle  was  re-elected  professor  of  obstetrics.  Dr. 
Jackson  remained  president  of  the  corporation.  Dr.  Quine  was  made  presi- 
dent of  the  faculty,  Dr.  Earle  vice-president  and  treasurer  and  Dr.  Bayard 
Holmes  corresponding  secretary. 

This  reorganization  marked  an  epoch  in  the  institution.     It  did  not  end  its 
difficulties  and  trials  as  a  private  institution,  but  from  that  time  on  the  co 
lege  was  more  prosperous   and  grew   more   firm  in   the   confidence  of 
medical  profession.     The  faculty  was  enlarged  and  strengthened,  the  cu 
riculum  was  broadened,  and  salaries,  small  but  an  earnest  of  good  inte 
were  paid  certain  teachers. 

Much  credit  was  due  Dr.  Bayard  Holmes  for  improving  the  curriculum-and 
methods  of  instruction.     Largely  through  his  influence  the  college,  i       &Z, 
added  a  well  equipped  laboratory  building.     This  was  the  first  struct 
its  kind  in  Chicago  and  the  first  one  erected  by  a  private  medical 
the  United  States.    Here  were  complete  accommodations  for  the  depa 
of  histology,  pathology,  embryology,  biology,  chemistry  and.  anatomy. 

Among  those  who  were  added  to  the  faculty  in  1892  was  Dr.  Ludv,g 
Hektoen  as  professor  of  pathology  and  pathological  anatomy. 


220  HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO 

Dr.  A.  Reeves  Jackson  died  in  October,  1892,  and  Dr.  Earle  succeeded  him 
in  the  presidency  of  the  corporation.  In  the  same  year  notable  accessions 
to  the  faculty  were  Dr.  John  B.  Murphy  in  clinical  surgery;  Dr.  Henry 
T.  Byford  in  gynecology ;  Dr.  William  A.  Pusey  in  dermatology ;  Dr.  Walter 
S.  Christopher  in  pediatrics,  and  Dr.  John  A.  Wesener  in  chemistry. 

Soon  after  the  death  of  Dr.  Jackson,  his  widow  donated  to  the  college  a 
small  library  of  thirty  books.  No  provision  was  made  for  the  care  of  this 
gift  and  no  use  was  made  of  it,  and  in  two  years  the  number  of  books  was 
reduced  to  fifteen  or  twenty. 

At  this  time  Dr.  Ouine  offered  to  found  a  library  on  condition  that  the 
faculty  assume  responsibility  for  the  care  and  the  administration  of  it.  This 
meant  proper  quarters,  necessary  shelving  and  a  competent  librarian.  The 
faculty  accepted  the  proposition  and  immediately  the  founder  donated  six 
hundred  standard  works,  including  all  text  books  then  in  use  in  the  college, 
and  the  faculty  installed  adequate  furniture,  and  employed  a  trained  librarian. 
Some  years  later  a  second  donation  of  six  hundred  volumes  was  made  by 
Dr.  Ouine.  From  the  beginning  he  donated  three  hundred  dollars  annually 
for  the  purchase  of  medical  periodicals  and  new  editions  of  text  books.  This 
financial  help  continued  for  ten  years,  when  the  faculty  assumed  the  burden 
of  supporting  the  enterprise. 

Faculty  members  donated  from  time  to  time  books  of  substantial  value, 
monographs  and  files  of  American,  English  and  German  periodicals  which, 
in  the  aggregate,  greatly  enriched  the  collection.  Special  mention  is  deserved, 
in  this  connection,  of  the  gifts  of  Doctors  Casey  A.  Wood  and  the  late  John 
E.  Harper,  because  of  their  magnitude  and  scientific  value.  Very  recently 
the  widow  of  Dr.  Adolph  Gehrmann  made  a  substantial  and  highly  valued 
addition. 

Other  friends,  also,  gave  important  aid  to  the  growth  of  the  library.  Of 
these  the  one  deserving  the  first  mention  is  the  late  Henry  J.  Furber,  who 
donated  the  whole  "Columbus  Library"  which  included  hundreds  of  volumes 
of  the  highest  class  and  several  files  of  American  and  European  publications ; 
and  the  next  to  be  mentioned  is  the  late  Dr.  Burns  of  Polo,  Illinois,  who 
donated  a  unique  collection  of  very  old  and  rare  books. 

The  library  has  always  been  well  cared  for  and  efficiently  administered 
and  for  many  years  has  been  one  of  the  most  active  institutional  libraries  in 
Chicago.  It  was  named  "The  Quine  Library"  by  vote  of  the  faculty,  "In 
recognition  of  the  service  to  medical  education  rendered  by  the  founder." 
This  was  done  long  before  the  college  became  associated  with  the  University 
of  Illinois. 

When  the  value  of  the  college  property,  including  equipment,  was  appraised 
by  a  joint  committee  representing  the  interests  of  the  University  of  Illinois 
and  the  interests  of  the  College  of  Physicians  and  Surgeons,  the  library  was 
rated  at  forty  thousand  dollars. 

Since  the  University  of  Illinois  acquired  possession  of  the  College  the 
library  has  been  liberally  provided  for. 

After  having  been  president  of  the  corporation  a  little  more  than  a  year, 
Dr.  Charles  Warrington  Earle  died  in  November,  1893,  and  was  succeeded  by 
Dr.  Steele.  Dr.  Frank  B.  Earle  was  chosen  to  fill  the  vacancy  in  the  faculty 
caused  by  Dr.  Charles  Warrington  Earle's  death,  and  Dr.  George  F.  Butler 
was  elected  professor  of  materia  meclica.  In  1895  Dr.  William  A.  Evans  was 
elected  professor  of  pathology.  At  this  time  the  college  adopted  an  obligatory 
four  years'  course  consisting  of  a  required  winter  term  of  twenty-eight  weeks 


HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO  221 

and  an  optional  spring  term  of  eleven  weeks.    The  college  fees  at  this  time 
were:  matriculation,  $5;  general  ticket,  $100;  laboratory  ticket,  $25. 

The  Post  Graduate  Medical  School  and  Hospital  was  purchased  by  mem- 
bers of  the  faculty  and  friends  of  the  college  in  February,  1896,  in  order  to 
secure  additional  clinical  advantages  for  the  college.  It  was  converted  into 
the  West  Side  Hospital  and  connected  with  the  old  college  amphitheatre  by 
a  covered  bridge. 

With  the  year  1896  the  college  began  its  period  of  greatest  material  pros- 
perity. In  the  summer  of  that  year  Dr.  William  Allen  Pusey  became  secre- 
tary and  the  rapid  increase  in  the  number  of  students  in  the  college  was  in 
large  part  due  to  his  vigorous  exploitation  of  the  opportunities  which  the  in- 
stitution afforded  and  later  to  the  prestige  which  came  from  the  affiliation 
with  the  University  of  Illinois. 

The  attendance  in  1895-96  had  been  235 ;  in  1896-97  it  was  303 ;  in  1897-98, 
the  first  year  of  University  affiliation,  it  was  409;  and  in  succeeding  years  the 
growth  continued  until  the  number  of  710  students  was  reached. 

A  new  era  was  inaugurated  when  Governor  John  P.  Altgeld  made  over- 
tures in  1896  to  President  Quine  of  the  college  faculty  looking  toward  affilia- 
tion of  the  College  of  Physicians  and  Surgeons  with  the  University  of  Illinois 
as  its  medical  department.  At  the  instance  of  the  governor  the  trustees  of  the 
university  appointed  a  committee  to  confer  with  a  similar  body  from  the  col- 
lege to  formulate  a  plan  of  union.  Doctor  Ouine  was  appointed  by  the  faculty 
with  the  power  to  represent  the  college  in  the  negotiations  with  President 
Draper  and  a  committee  of  the  university  trustees.  Doctors  Steelc  and  King 
were  invited  by  Dr.  Quine  to  collaborate  with  him.  The  result  was  that  on 
April  21,  1897,  a  lease  of  the  college  property  was  made  to  the  University  for 
four  years  and  from  this  date  the  medical  school  passed  under  the  control  of 
the  university,  but  the  university  assumed  no  financial  responsibility  for  it. 
Co-education  was  introduced  and  university  methods  were  adopted.  On  May 
1,  1900,  the  college  was  officially  designated  the  College  of  Medicine  of  the 
University  of  Illinois,  and  its  growth  and  prosperity  advanced  more  rapidly 
than  before. 

Another  agreement  was  entered  into  in  1899  under  which  a  twenty-five 
year  lease  was  granted  to  the  university  and  at  its  termination  the  property 
and  good  will  of  the  college  were  to  be  vested  in  the  university.  During  the 
life  of  the  lease  one-third  of  the  net  profits  was  to  go  to  the  university  toward 
a  medical  college  and  endowment  fund  and  two-thirds  were  to  be  apportioned 
to  the  stockholders  of  the  college  corporation. 

Accommodations  having  become  inadequate  in  1900,  permission  was  ob- 
tained from  the  university  trustees  to  purchase  the  West  Division  High 
School  property  for  $186.000  and  it  was  converted  into  the  present  medical 
college  building.  The  Illinois  Dental  College  building  was  acquired  and  in 
1901  the  old  building  was  transformed  into  the  present  dental  college  building. 
A  strong  dental  faculty  was  appointed  and  the  plant  equipped  with  a  modern 
dental  college  outfit.  The  medical  and  dental  colleges  and  the  West  Side 
Hospital  were  all  connected  by  covered  bridges.  In  1906  certain  members 
of  the  faculty,  including  Drs.  Steele,  Charles  Davison  and  Edward  L.  Heintz, 
erected  the  University  Hospital  with  100  beds,  partly  with  a  view  of  giving 
the  students  additional  clinical  advantages. 

The  preliminary  affiliation  between  the  college  and  the  university  having 
proven  satisfactory,  a  new  lease  was  entered  into  on  February  9,  1 
period  of  twenty-five  years  dating  from  May  1,  1900,  to  April  30,  1925. 


HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO 

provided  for  a  dean,  actuary,  and  a  secretary  of  the  medical  faculty  to  be 
selected  by  the  president  of  the  university.  Dr.  Quine  was  appointed  dean 
and  Dr.  Steele  actuary.  It  also  contained  a  provision  for  purchase  of  the 
college  property  by  the  university  at  any  time  during  the  life  of  the  lease. 
This  arrangement  continued  in  operation  until  April  30,  1912. 

Although  the  lease  was  for  a  period  of  twenty-five  years,  the  trustees  of 
the  university  could  only  bind  themselves  for  a  term  of  two  years  because 
of  the  existence  of  the  biennial  appropriation  system.  During  the  life  of  the 
leases  the  university  had  contributed  nothing  to  the  support  of  the  medical 
college,  and,  because  of  entrance  and  scholarship  requirements,  the  situation 
was  desperate.  Immediate  action  was  imperative. 

Hereupon  Dr.  Quine,  in  accordance  with  the  vote  of  his  associates  of  the 
corporation  of  the  College  of  Physicians  and  Surgeons  of  Chicago,  advised 
the  university  that  the  lease  would  be  concluded  at  the  end  of  the  current 
biennium.  In  conformity  with  this  notification  the  president  of  the  univer- 
sity, on  April  30,  1912,  closed  the  medical  department  of  the  University  of 
Illinois  because  of  lack  of  support  and  Dean  Quine  announced  that  the  Col- 
lege of  Physicians  and  Surgeons  of  Chicago  would  reopen  its  medical  school 
immediately  after  the  expiration  of  the  lease. 

The  alumni  association,  which  was  composed  of  graduates  of  the  medical 
college  during  all  of  its  administrations,  was  very  much  concerned  about  the 
future  of  the  college.  The  members  were  sharply  divided.  Some  bitterly 
condemned  the  officers  of  the  corporation  of  the  College  of  Physicians  and 
Surgeons  for  taking  advantage  of  what  they  believed  to  be  a  technicality  to 
end  the  lease  and  refusing  to  longer  rent  their  property  to  the  University  of 
Illinois.  These  men  were  anxious  for  the  university  to  continue  its  medical 
course  with  or  without  the  cooperation  of  the  College  of  Physicians  and  Sur- 
geons. Others  censured  the  University  of  Illinois  because  of  its  failure  to 
properly  finance  the  work  in  medical  education  which  it  had  undertaken,  and 
desired  to  return  to  the  old  regime,  and  have  an  independent  medical  college 
conducted  without  dictation  from  any  one,  depending  upon  students'  fees  for 
financial  support. 

The  annual  election  of  officers  of  the  alumni  association  was  impending 
and  a  vigorous  struggle  was  staged  for  control  of  the  organization.  Each 
faction  was  led  by  a  popular,  energetic,  capable  alumnus,  each  of  whom  had 
been  a  member  of  the  faculty  of  the  medical  college  when  conducted  by  the 
university.  One  of  these,  Dr.  Frederick  Gillett  Harris,  was  taking  part  in 
the  reorganization  of  the  College  of  Physicians  and  Surgeons,  and  had  the 
active  support  of  its  faculty  and  friends.  The  other,  Dr.  Edward  Louis 
Heintz,  had  resigned  from  the  old  faculty  because  its  relations  with  the  uni- 
versity had  been  broken  and  had  refused  to  take  part  in  the  reorganization 
of  the  college  outside  of  university  supervision  and  control. 

The  election  resulted  in  an  overwhelming  victory  for  the  interests  of  the 
University  of  Illinois  as  represented  by  Dr.  Heintz  and  his  associates. 

The  alumni  organization  and  other  friends  of  the  university,  including  those 
members  of  the  faculty  of  the  University  of  Illinois  College  of  Medicine  who 
had  refused  to  take  part  in  the  reorganization  into  the  College  of  Physicians 
and  Surgeons  and  some  who  were  to  continue  with  the  faculty  of  the  Col- 
lege of  Physicians  and  Surgeons,  bestirred  themselves  to  arrange  for  facili- 
ties for  the  University  of  Illinois  to  continue  its  work  in  medical  education. 

About  this  time  it  was  suggested  that  if  it  were  possible  for  the  medical 
alumni  to  gather  up  the  stock  of  the  corporation  of  the  College  of  Physicians 


HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO  223 

and  Surgeons  and  give  it  outright  to  the  University  of  Illinois,  together  with 
the  absolute  control  of  the  property,  it  would  be  the  best  solution  of  the 
difficult  problem;  it  would  save  to  the  university  the  fruits  of  its  previous 
work  in  medical  education;  it  would  prevent  the  rivalry  incident  to  another 
medical  college  being  introduced  into  the  field ;  it  would  bring  back  into  the 
fold  the  friends  of  the  College  of  Physicians  and  Surgeons  and  it  would  fur- 
nish a  plant  already  in  existence,  under  the  absolute  control  of  the  university, 
in  which  to  conduct  its  medical  work. 

Dr.  Charles  Davison  in  due  course  submitted  the  gift  proposal  to  the  trus- 
tees of  the  university,  who  adopted  a  resolution  to  the  effect  that  they  would 
accept  the  stock  of  the  college  corporation  if  all  of  it  were  delivered  to  them 
on  or  before  February  1,  1913. 

The  officers  of  the  alumni  association  recognized  that  to  obtain  the  stock 
of  the  College  of  Physicians  and  Surgeons  by  donation  or  purchase,  there 
must  be  a  unanimity  of  effort  between  their  association,  the  other  friends 
of  the  university  and  influential  representatives  of  the  College  of  Physicians 
and  Surgeons.  With  this  in  view  a  committee  was  appointed  by  the  alumni 
association  to  take  charge  of  the  efforts  to  secure  the  stock  for  the  university. 
The  committee  consisted  of  Dr.  Edward  Louis  Heintz,  president  of  the 
alumni  association;  Dr.  D.  A.  K.  Steele,  president  of  the  corporation  of  the 
College  of  Physicians  and  Surgeons,  and  Dr.  Charles  Davison,  ex-trustee  of 
the  University  of  Illinois. 

On  January  31,  1913,  the  entire  capital  stock  of  the  College  of  Physicians 
and  Surgeons  representing  the  ownership  of  that  organization  and  all  of  its 
property  was  delivered  by  the  committee  to  the  board  of  trustees  of  the 
university. 

The  charter,  good  will,  scholarship  funds  and  other  affairs  of  the  corpo- 
ration were  also  turned  over  to  the  authorities  of  the  university.  The  real 
estate  consisted  of  the  old  college  building,  now  the  dental  school  at  Harri- 
son and  Honore  streets,  and  the  present  medical  college  building  at  Ogden 
Avenue,  Lincoln,  Congress  and  Honore  streets. 

On  February  12,  1913,  the  trustees  formally  accepted  the  stock  and  pro- 
vided for  the  reopening  of  the  College  of  Medicine  of  the  University  of  Illi- 
nois. From  that  date  the  College  of  Physicians  and  Surgeons  as  a  school 
ceased  to  exist.  Its  history  then  became  a  part  of  the  history  of  the  Uni- 
versity of  Illinois. 

Under  the  new  regime  Dr.  Quine  was  appointed  senior  dean  of  the  two 
clinical  years  and  Professor  George  P.  Dreyer  was  appointed  junior  dean  of 
the  preclinical  years.  At  this  time  Albert  C.  Eycleshymer,  David  J.  Davis 
and  William  H.  Welker,  among  others,  were  added  to  the  faculty  of  the  pre- 
clinical years  and  the  departments  of  anatomy,  including  histology  and 
embryology,  pathology,  bacteriology  and  physiological  chemistry,  were  com- 
pletely reorganized  and  active  research  work  was  started.  In  1914  Dr.  Steele 
upon  the  resignation  of  Dr.  Quine  became  senior  dean,  retaining  the  office 
until  July  1,  1917,  when  he  resigned  to  enter  the  medical  service  of  the 
United  States  Army  as  major  in  the  world  war.  He  was  succeeded  by  Dr. 
Kycleshymer. 

In  1915  the  educational  work  of  the  first  two  years  was  considered  equal 
to  the  work  given  in  the  other  colleges  of  the  University  and  the  Bachelor 
of  Science  degree  was  authorized  upon  their  completion  in  1916.  A  graduate 
summer  quarter  was  authorized.  This  was  the  first  attempt  among  medical 


224  HISTORY  OF  MKDICINK  AND  SURCKKY  IN  CIMCACO 

colleges  to  set  apart  a  summer  quarter  exclusively  for  post  graduate  work 
leading  to  M.  S.  or  Ph.  D.  degrees.  In  1917  the  medical  course  was  extended 
from  four  to  five  years.  In  spite  of  the  more  rigid  requirements  the  attend- 
ance has  steadily  increased  until  now  many  applicants  are  turned  away. 

During  the  world  war  the  faculty  was  depleted  by  the  loss  of  teachers 
who  entered  the  army  or  navy.  To  prevent  obliteration  of  college  faculties 
the  National  Council  of  Defense  requested  lists  of  essential  teachers.  At 
first  the  men  on  the  essential  list  were  taken  into  the  service  on  application, 
but  later  the  consent  of  the  university  was  required.  Students  were  inducted 
into  the  medical  Enlisted  Reserve  Corps  and  assigned  to  the  inactive  list  in 
order  to  continue  their  studies.  Subsequently  a  section  of  the  Student  Army 
Training  Corps  was  established  and,  under  the  direction  of  army  officers,  daily 
drills  were  conducted.  The  department  of  anatomy,  on  the  request  of  the 
Surgeon  General,  prepared  a  manual  of  surgical  anatomy  which  later  was 
adopted  by  the  navy. 

Clinical  facilities  for  the  College  of  Medicine  had  for  some  time  been 
deficient  and,  with  the  close  of  the  war,  efforts  were  renewed  to  obtain  ade- 
quate contracts  with  hospitals,  but  they  were  only  partly  successful.  If  funds 
for  a  hospital  were  not  obtained  the  future  of  the  College  of  Medicine  would 
be  menaced  seriously.  Through  the  efforts  of  President  James  the  general 
assembly,  however,  appropriated  $300,000.  for  a  clinical  building. 

As  the  university  was  about  to  begin  work  on  this  structure  a  liaison  was 
effected  with  the  Illinois  Department  of  Public  Welfare.  The  latter  was 
under  the  necessity  of  rebuilding  the  Illinois  Charitable  Eye  and  Ear  In- 
firmary, of  providing  a  surgical  institute  for  crippled  children  and  a  hospital 
for  the  study  and  care  of  the  insane  and  mental  defectives.  A  joint  agree- 
ment was  entered  into  between  the  university  and  the  Department  of  Public 
Welfare  in  July,  1919,  whereby  the  university  was  to  furnish  the  professional 
features  and  the  Department  of  Public  Welfare  the  administrative  features 
in  a  unified  program.  Upon  the  strength  of  this  agreement  funds  were  appro- 
priated by  the  legislature  to  purchase  the  old  West  Side  Ball  Park  and  erect 
the  buildings  needed  by  the  department  and  by  the  university. 

Completion  of  this  project  and  kindred  plans  will,  the  authorities  declare, 
place  the  College  of  Medicine  of  the  University  of  Illinois  in  the  ranks  of  the 
foremost  medical  schools  of  the  world.

CHICAGO    POLICLINIC 
221    West    Chicago   Avenue 


CHICAGO     POLICLINIC 

The  rapid  evolution  of  medical  science,  the  new  theories  derived  from 
bacteriological  research,  the  improvement  in  operative  work  and  the  develop- 
ment of  the  methods  of  applied  science — to  bring  all  these  within  reach  of 
the  working  physician  was  the  purpose  of  the  founders  of  the  Chicago  Poli- 
clinic. 

So  successful  did  the  project  become  that  now  the  annual  attendance  at 
clinics  is  30,000  and  the  number  of  students  each  year  is  250. 

Tangent  to  the  enterprise  is  the  Henrotin  Memorial  Hospital,  which  is 
directly  under  the  control  of  the  Chicago  Policlinic. 

The  Chicago  Policlinic  began  its  first  course  of  instruction  July  26,  1886, 
in  a  rented  house  situated  on  the  corner  of  Chicago,  and  La  Salle  avenues. 

The  first  faculty  roster  contained  these  names : 

Truman  W.  Miller,  president  and  professor  of  general  and  genito-urinary 
surgery. 

Christian  Fenger,  professor  of  surgery. 

Nicholas  Senn,  professor  of  surgery. 

John  H.  Chew,  treasurer  and  professor  of  medicine. 

Fernand  Henrotin,  secretary  and  professor  of  gynecology. 

Moreau  R.  Brown,  professor  of  laryngology  and  rhinology. 

Robert  D.  MacArthur,  professor  of  skin  and  veneral  diseases. 


226  HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO 

Albert  E.  Hoadley,  professor  of  orthopedic  surgery  and  diseases  of  the 
joints. 

William  T.   Belfield,  professor  of  surgery. 

J,  Elliott  Colburn,  professor  of  ophthalmology. 

George  F.  Fiske,  professor  of  otology. 

Malcolm  L.  Harris,  professor  of  surgery. 

Henry  Hooper,  professor  of  obstetrics. 

Ferdinand  C.  Hotz,  professor  of  ophthalmology. 

Henry  Banga,  professor  of  gynecology. 

Joseph  M.  Patton,  professor  of  medicine. 

Archibald  Church,  professor  of  neurology. 

Henry  G.  Anthony,  professor  of  dermatology. 

To  complete  the  faculty  the  following  members  were  subsequently  added : 
Otto  L.  Schmidt,  Gustav  Futterer  and  Henry  B.  Favill,  professors  of  medi- 
cine ;  Edwin  M.  Smith  and  Weller  Van  Hook,  professors  of  surgery ;  William 
H.  Wilder  and  Edward  L.  Holmes,  professors  of  ophthalmology ;  Charles  S. 
Bacon  and  C.  E.  Manierre,  professors  of  obstetrics ;  E.  Fletcher  Ingals,  pro- 
fessor of  laryngology  and  rhinology ;  Walter  S.  Christopher,  professor  of 
diseases  of  children;  E.  P.  Buffum,  professor  of  pathology  and  bacteriology; 
Hugh  T.  Patrick,  professor  of  neurology ;  J.  P.  Houston,  professor  of  electro- 
therapeutics ;  Denslow  Lewis,  professor  of  gynecology ;  R.  R.  Campbell, 
professor  of  dermatology,  and  Henry  M.  Lyman,  professor  of  nervous  and 
mental  diseases. 

Handbills  were  distributed  announcing  a  free  clinic  and  the  institution 
started  in  business,  two  beds  in  one  room  being  the  original  equipment.  The 
free  clinic  and  the  dispensary  in  connection  were  a  success  from  the  begin- 
ning and  the  hours  given  to  each  subject  by  the  physicians  in  charge  had  to 
be  lengthened.  Students  began  arriving  nearly  as  promptly  as  patients.  In 
less  than  a  year  it  became  apparent  that  much  larger  quarters  were  needed, 
but  it  was  not  until  1889  that  the  Policlinic  was  transferred  to  its  present 
building  at  221  West  Chicago  Avenue,  a  four-story  structure  erected  at  an 
expense  of  $40,000.  Three  years  later  the  increase  of  work  and  attendance 
of  physicians  required  still  more  room  and  the  faculty  of  the  Policlinic  added 
two  stories  to  the  building  and  erected  behind  it  another  structure  of  equal 
size.  The  total  value  of  the  plant  now  exceeded  $100,000  and  its  equipment 
and  completeness  of  appointment  gave  the  institution  high  rank  among  sim- 
ilar establishments  throughout  the  country.

POST    GRADUATE   MEDICAL   SCHOOL   OF   CHICAGO 
2400   South    Dearborn    Street 


P  O  S  T-G  RADUATE     MEDICAL 
SCHOOL    OF    CHICAGO 

A  group  of  physicians  and  surgeons  which  included  Doctors  W.  Franklin 
Coleman  and  Franklin  H.  Martin,  left  the  Chicago  Policlinic  two  years  after 
its  establishment  in  1886  to  form  another  school. 

A  preliminary  meeting  was  held  in  the  office  of  Dr.  Frank  Billings,  Sep- 
tember 12,  1888.  At  this  gathering  were  Doctors  Billings,  Henry  T.  Byford, 
Henry  P.  Newman,  Robert  H.  Babcock,  Franklin  H.  Martin  and  W.  Frank- 
lin Coleman. 

The  first  board  of  directors  was  completed  September  14,  and  comprised : 
Dr.  Newman,  president ;  Dr.  Babcock,  vice-president ;  Dr.  Coleman,  secre- 
tary ;  Dr.  Martin,  treasurer;  and  Dr.  Billings,  chairman  of  the  finance  com- 
mittee. 

The  original  organization  had  as  counsellors  and  members  Doctors  N.  S. 
Davis,  A.  Reeves  Jackson,  J.  Adams  Allen,  John  H.  Hollister,  Henry  Gibbes, 
William  H.  Byford,  E.  L.  Shurley,  Charles  T.  Parkes,  William  E.  Quine, 
Ephraim  Ingals,  Hosmer  A.  Johnson  and  Edmund  Andrews. 

The  school  occupied  in  December,  1888  the  third  and  fourth  floors  of 
the  building  at  31  Washington  street,  now  supplanted  by  the  Marshall 
Field  Annex,  the  school  at  this  time  being  called  the  Post-Graduate  School 
and  the  Chicago  Public  Dispensary.  The  first  term  for  students  opened 
April  1.  1889.  A  hospital  was  established  in  the  second  floor  of  a  private 
dwelling  on  State  Street  opposite  Polk  Street. 


228  HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO 

In  April,  1890,  the  faculty  decided  that  the  school  should  be  removed 
from  the  heart  of  the  business  district  to  a  section  further  south.  Accord- 
ingly a  lot  was  purchased  at  59  Plymouth  Place  and  a  building  was  erected 
on  it.  Pending  construction  of  the  school  edifice  the  floor  of  a  building 
opposite  with  a  frontage  of  fifty  feet  and  running  to  Dearborn  Street  was 
rented.  Here  clinics  were  held  temporarily. 

In  September,  1890  the  new  school  building  was  completed  and  opened. 
It  was  a  four-story  building  with  basement  and  built  of  brick.  It  was  steam 
heated  and  equipped  with  elevators.  The  basement  contained  rooms  for 
work  on  the  cadaver.  The  first  floor  was  rented  for  commercial  purposes. 
The  second  floor  was  used  for  the  laboratory,  clinical  rooms,  drug  rooms, 
office,  patients'  waiting  room  and  physicians'  reading  room,  while  the  third 
and  fourth  floors  were  taken  up  with  operating  room  and  amphitheater. 

The  school  occupied  the  site  at  Plymouth  Place  for  twenty  months  and 
then,  the  staff  being  convinced  that  a  better  clinical  center  might  be  se- 
lected, a  lot  was  purchased  at  819-23  West  Harrison  Street,  adjoining  the 
College  of  Physicians  and  Surgeons.  The  construction  of  a  new  school 
building  was  begun,  while  temporary  quarters  were  secured  at  757-759 
West  Harrison  Street. 

The  new  building  was  ready  for  occupancy  May  1,  1892.  It  was  situated 
opposite  the  west  end  of  Cook  County  Hospital  and  separated  by  an  alley 
from  the  College  of  Physicians  and  Surgeons.  The  building  was  fifty-two 
by  one  hundred  feet,  built  of  brick  with  terra  cotta  and  stone  trimmings,  and 
consisted  of  five  stories  and  a  basement.  The  basement  included  a  large 
laboratory  for  classes  in  bacteriology  and  urinalysis  and  a  large  room  for 
operative  work  on  the  cadaver.  The  first  floor  contained  five  clinical  rooms, 
reception  room  for  patients,  reading  room  for  students,  drug  room  and  of- 
fices. The  upper  floors  were  occupied  by  the  hospital. 

Later  in  1895  some  of  the  faculty  who  resided  on  the  south  side  of  the 
city  felt  that  there  was  room  for  a  school  in  that  vicinity  and  therefore 
established  themselves  at  Dearborn  and  Twenty-fourth  streets,  the  loca- 
tion now  occupied  by  the  school. 

In  addition  to  the  medical  school,  a  general  hospital  of  one  hundred  beds 
is  conducted  by  the  teaching  staff. 

HARVEY  MEDICAL  COLLEGE 

An  evening  school  of  medicine,  which  would  allow  the  student  to  obtain  a 
medical  education  while  engaged  in  some  other  avocation,  was  inaugurated 
in  Chicago  with  the  organization  of  the  Harvey  Medical  College  in  1891. 
The  institution  struggled  during  the  first  three  years,  but  saw  better  times 
beginning  in  1894,  when  it  was  purchased  and  completely  reorganized  by 
Dr.  Frances  Dickinson,  who  became  the  secretary  of  the  college. 

The  college  was  moved  to  the  corner  of  South  Halsted  and  West  Van 
Buren  streets,  in  one  of  the  most  thickly  populated  districts  in  the  city  and 
one  of  the  richest  in  clinical  material.  There,  under  one  roof,  was  estab- 
lished a  medical  settlement  containing  the  following  departments:  Harvey 
Medical  College,  Harvey  Hospital,  Harvey  Free  Dispensary,  Harvey  Train- 
ing School  for  Nurses,  Harvey  Dime  Drug  Store  and  Harvey  "Out  Practice." 

In  the  first  seven  months  after  reorganization  the  college  increased  its 
number  of  students  five-fold.  The  number  of  teachers  was  doubled,  and  at 


HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO  229 

the  completion  of  the  year's  work  the  school  was  added  to  the  list  of  recog- 
nized colleges  by  the  Illinois  State  Board  of  Health.  In  less  than  a  year 
thereafter  larger  quarters  became  necessary,  and  in  the  spring  of  18%  the 
college  moved  to  169  South  Clark  Street,  which  became  known  as  the  Harvey 
Building.  In  the  first  eight  years  of  its  existence  the  number  of  students 
was  increased  from  nine  to  more  than  two  hundred  and  fifty. 
The  college  passed  out  of  existence  in  1905. 

HERING     MEDICAL     COLLEGE     AND     HOSPITAL 

Hering  Medical  College  and  Hospital  owed  its  origin  to  a  small  materia 
medica  club  that  was  organized  in  Chicago  in  1890  by  Dr.  H.  C.  Allen  and 
others.  The  object  of  the  club  was  the  study  of  materia  medica  and  the 
philosophy  of  pure  homeopathy  as  given  in  the  Organon  of  Samuel  Hahne- 
mann. 

In  the  meetings  of  the  club  it  was  determined  to  establish  a  medical 
college,  which  was  opened  October  4,  1892,  in  a  building  at  the  northwest 
corner  of  Cottage  Grove  Avenue  and  College  Place.  The  officers  of  the  first 
faculty  were  Doctors  H.  C.  Allen,  dean ;  Howard  Crutcher,  registrar ;  J.  B.  S. 
King,  secretary ;  and  L.  A.  L.  Day,  treasurer. 

Women  were  admitted  on  equal  terms  with  men  and  were  recognized  in 
the  formation  of  the  faculty.  Sixty  students  were  matriculated  the  first  year, 
this  number  being  increased  to  ninety-seven  at  the  opening  of  the  third  year. 

After  four  years  of  existence  a  new  home  was  erected  on  Rhodes  Avenue 
near  Thirty-ninth  Street.  Year  by  year  changes  and  additions  were  made  to 
the  faculty,  resulting  in  increases  in  students. 

After  the  organization  of  Dunham  Medical  College  in  1895,  there  was  con- 
siderable rivalry  between  it  and  Hering  Medical  College.  It  was  felt  by 
friends  of  the  two  institutions  that  it  would  be  better  to  have  them  united, 
and  in  1903  Dunham  Medical  was  merged  in  the  older  institution. 

When  the  Chicago  Homeopathic  Medical  College  was  merged  in  Hahne 
mann  Medical  College  in  1905,  the  building  occupied  by  the  former  college 
was  purchased  by  Hering  Medical  College  and  the  move  to  the  new  quarters 
was  made  immediately. 

A  few  years  later  the  financial  problems  of  the  college  became  ever  more 
difficult,  and  it  finally  was  deemed  best  for  the  college  to  close  its  doors. 
This  action  was  taken  in  1913. 

ILLINOIS     POST     GRADUATE     MEDICAL 

SCHOOL,     INC, 

•      (For  Photograph,  see  Page  300) 

The  Illinois  Post  Graduate  Medical  School  had  its  origin  in  the  middle 
nineties  when  some  of  the  faculty  of  the  Post  Graduate  Medical  School  of 
Chicago  felt  that  a  location  on  the  south  side  of  the  city  was  preferable  to 
one  on  the  west  side  and  moved  the  institution  to  Twenty-fourth  and  Dear- 
born streets. 

Other  members  of  the  faculty  remained  on  the  west  side  and  incorporated 
a  new  institution  July  30,   1896,  under  the  name  of  the  West  Chicago  Pos 
Graduate  and  Policlinic.     The  first  officers  of  the  school  were: 
A.  K.  Steele,  president;  John  B.  Murphy,  vice  president;  Thoma^    \. 
secretary,  and  Charles  Davison.  treasurer.     Associated  with  thc-m  were  1 
tors  Stephen  G.  West,  Edward  W.  Lee  and  Joseph  P.  Smyth.

HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO 


At  a  meeting  held  July  19,  1897,  it  was  voted  to  consolidate  the  new  in- 
stitution with  the  Chicago  Clinical  School  and  adopt  the  name  of  the  latter. 

The  property  opposite  Cook  County  Hospital  at  Lincoln  and  Harrison 
streets  had  been  acquired  by  the  Post  Graduate  Medical  School  of  Chicago. 
This  was  sold  February  20,  1896,  to  the  West  Side  Hospital  of  Chicago,  the 
Chicago  Clinical  School  afterward  using  under  a  lease  such  space  as  was 
necessary  for  clinical  and  post-graduate  teaching. 

The  faculty  was  composed  of  such  instructors  as  Doctors  Henry  T.  By- 
ford,  Henry  P.  Newman,  Alex  Wiener,  Boerne  Bettman,  William  L.  Noble, 
William  Cuthbertson,  Edward  L.  Moorhead,  F.  Byron  Robinson,  Lucy  Waite, 
John  A.  Wesener,  Edward  W.  Lee,  Willis  O.  Nance,  Frederick  C.  Zapffe  and 
G.  F.  Hawley. 

The  Illinois  Post  Graduate  Medical  School  was  incorporated  September  25, 
1907.  The  first  trustees  of  this  corporation  were  Doctors  Thomas  A.  Davis, 
Alex.  Wiener,  William  L.  Noble,  Frederick  S.  Hartmann  and  Joseph  P. 
Smyth.  The  institution  was  reincorporated,  not  for  profit,  April  28,  1920,  as 
the  Illinois  Post  Graduate  Medical  School,  Inc. 

The  present  officers  of  the  school  are  Doctors  Thomas  A.  Davis,  president; 
Thomas  J.  Con\ty,  vice  president;  James  A.  Clark,  secretary,  and  John  M. 
Lang,  treasurer.

CHICAGO     EYE,    EAR,     NOSE     AND 

THROAT     COLLEGE    AND     HOSPITAL 

The  Chicago  Eye,  Ear,  Nose  and  Throat  College  was  incorporated  Feb- 
ruary 15,  1897,  as  a  post-graduate  school  of  medicine  for  giving  special 
instruction  in  diseases  of  the  eye,  ear,  nose  and  throat. 

It  was  first  on  the  third  floor  of  the  Trude  Building,  where  the  out  patient 
teaching  clinic  was  conducted.  The  next  year  it  was  found  necessary  be- 
cause of  the  growth  of  the  school  to  enlarge  the  quarters  and  a  space  four 
times  as  large  was  acquired  on  the  same  floor.  The  school  was  conducted 
at  that  location  until  1901,  when  it  was  found  necessary  to  acquire  hospital 


HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO  231 

accommodations,  and  the  present  property  at  the  southeast  corner  of  Frank- 
hn  and  Washington  Streets  was  acquired  and  remodeled  for  that  purpose 
The  school  and  hosp,tal  have  been  conducted  there  since  February  1  1901 

The  school  has  numbered  in  its  faculty  several  of  the  well  known  author- 
ities m  its  special  branches,  viz:  the  late   Drs.  Charles  L.  Enslee    W    I 
Ballenger,  Edwin  Pynchon,  A.  C.  MacLean  and  C  Gurney  Stubbs 

During  the  life  of  the  college,  now  twenty-five  years,  it  has  sent  out  3080 
len  who  do  a  very  creditable  practice  in  these  branches  of  medicine  in  their 
local  communities. 

It  is  contemplated  by  the  college  to  construct  a  new  building  for  fulfilling 
leeds  as  a  teaching  institution  and  hospital,  not  later  than  1924.

LOYOLA    UNIVERSITY    SCHOOL    OF    MEDICINE 
706    South    Lincoln    Street 


LOYOLA    UNIVERSITY     SCHOOL    OF 
MEDICINE 

Loyola  University  School  of  Medicine  had  its  origin  in  1909,  when  an 
affiliation  was  tormed  by  which  the  Illinois  Medical  College  became  the 
Medical  Department  of  Loyola  University.  The  University  itself  dates  back 
to  1869,  when  St.  Ignatius  College  was  chartered  by  the  Illinois  State  Legis- 
lature. In  1909  the  College  had  developed  to  a  point  where  the  addition  of 
new  departments  seemed  advisable  and  Loyola  University  was  accordingly 
incorporated. 

In  1910  the  Illinois,  the  Bennett  and  the  Reliance  Medical  Colleges  merged 
to  form  the  Bennett  Medical  College,  which  became  affiliated  with  Loyola 
University.  This  affiliation  continued  until  1915,  when  the  Bennett  Medical 
College  passed  under  the  complete  control  of  the  trustees  and  became  the 
Loyola  University  School  of  Medicine.  In  September,  1917,  the  Chicago 
College  of  Medicine  and  Surgery  was  purchased  by  the  University  and  the 
Medical  Department  moved  into  the  buildings  occupied  by  this  school. 

The  board  of  trustees  next  turned  their  attention  to  a  complete  reorgan- 
ization of  the  school  in  all  departments,  so  as  to  assure  efficient  instruction 


232  HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO 

along  the  most  modern  and  scientific  lines.  Their  success  was  evidenced 
by  the  fact  that  the  Council  on  Education  of  the  American  Medical  Associa- 
tion judged  Loyola  University  School  of  Medicine  to  be  worthy  of  a  class 

rating. 

The  School  of  Medicine  is  located  at  706  South  Lincoln  Street,  facing 
Cook  County  Hospital,  in  the  heart  of  the  hospital  and  medical  district  of  the 
west  side  and  in  the  building  erected  and  formerly  occupied  by  the  Woman's 
Medical  College. 

The  Lincoln  Dispensary,  located  in  the  college  building,  is  under  the  direct 
control  of  the  medical  school  and  is  a  general  dispensary  equipped  for  clinical 
construction. 

The  school  of  medicine  is  affiliated  with  Mercy  Hospital  and  the  Miseri- 
cordia  Maternity  Hospital  and  through  its  arrangement  with  other  hospitals 
enjoys  additional  clinical  facilities  for  teaching. 

CHICAGO  MEDICAL  SCHOOL 

The  Chicago  Medical  School  was  organized  in  1912  under  the  name  of 
the  Chicago  Hospital  College  of  Medicine,  which  had  received  pledges  of 
more  than  $50,000.  This  organization  at  once  took  over  the  property  at 
3832-34  Rhodes  Avenue,  which  had  been  constructed  especially  for  medical 
college  work.  The  next  year  it  obtained  the  adjoining  property  at  3831-35 
Yernon  Avenue  for  hospital  purposes,  this  building  now  being  occupied  by 
the  Fort  Dearborn  Hospital,  which  was  erected  at  a  cost  of  $60,000. 

In  1916  the  chemical  and  biological  laboratory  building  was  dedicated.  In 
1917  an  endowment  fund  of  more  than  $100,000  was  secured,  and  in  the  same 
year  an  affiliation  was  formed  with  the  Jenner  Medical  College,  which  had 
been  operated  for  twenty-four  years.  At  this  time  the  title  of  the  Chicago 
Medical  School  was  assumed.

MERCY    HOSPITAL— MAIN    BUILDING 
2537    Prairie  Avenue 

*MERCY     HOSPITAL 

To  the  desire  of  Dr.  N.  S.  Davis  to  obtain  hospital  facilities  for  clinical  in- 
struction may  be  traced  the  origin  of  Mercy  Hospital,  oldest  institution  of  its 
kind  in  Chicago  and  the  Middle  West. 

At  the  solicitation  of  Dr.  Daniel  Brainard,  president  of  Rush  Medical  Col- 
lege, Dr.  Davis,  who  had  two  years  before  founded  the  American  Medical 
Association,  joined  the  staff  of  Rush  as  professor  of  physiology  and  path- 
ology October  15,  1849.  At  the  following  session  of  the  school  Dr.  Davis  was 
offered  the  chair  of  the  principles  and  practice  of  medicine.  This  offer  he  did 
not  wish  to  accept  without  facilities  for  giving  bedside  instruction. 

Accordingly  a  meeting  of  physicians  and  prominent  citizens  was  called  to 
discuss  the  subject  and  to  devise  ways  and  means  to  procure  the  hospital.  A 
committee  was  formed  consisting  of  Judge  T.  Lyle  Dickey,  Judge  Mark  Skin- 
ner, Captain  R.  K.  Swift  and  Dr.  John  Evans. 

The  first  thing  that  was  done  was  to  collect  subscriptions.  Captain  Swift 
and  Judge  Dickey  each  gave  $10  and  Dr.  Evans  gave  $5.  This  was  supple- 
mented by  the  efforts  of  Dr.  N.  S.  Davis,  who  conceived  the  idea  of  giving  a 
course  of  public  lectures  on  "the  Sanitary  Condition  of  the  City."  The  lec- 
tures were  accordingly  delivered  in  South  Market  Hall,  the  largest  in  the  city 
at  that  time.  Tickets  were  sold  for  twenty-five  cents  each  and  the  proceeds 
amounted  to  $100. 

With  this  money  rooms  were  rented  in  a  hotel  called  "The  Lake  House," 
a  large  brick  building  located  on  the  northeast  corner  of  North  Water  and 
Rush  Streets.  Twelve  beds  were  procured  and  soon  were  filled.  There  were 
patients,  and  clinics  could  be  held,  but  there  was  no  one  to  care  for  the  pa- 
tients. Finally,  however,  the  problem  was  solved  when  an  arrangement  was 
made  with  a  woman  who  kept  boarders  in  the  building  to  the  effect  that  she

should  look  after  the  domestic  wants  of  the  twelve  patients  for  the  sum  of 
$2.50  a  week  ;  the  nursing  was  to  be  done  by  the  students  of  Rush  Medical 
College. 

Thus  was  launched  the  Illinois  General  Hospital  of  the  Lakes  in  1850. 

The  domestic  management  and  nursing  were  continual  sources  of  anxiety 
to  the  hospital  staff  and  they  cast  about  for  some  better  means  of  serving  the 
sick.  The  Sisters  of  Mercy  had  come  to  Chicago  in  1846  prepared  for  school 
work  and  the  other  functions  of  the  order.  The  first  convent  was  built  next 
to  St.  Mary's  church,  which  then  stood  at  the  southwest  corner  of  Madison 
Street  and  Wabash  Avenue.  Dr.  Daniel  Brainard  lived  just  south  of  the  con- 
vent, a  low  wooden  fence  separating  their  grounds. 

Dr.  Brainard  had  seen  sisters  in  charge  of  hospitals  in  the  east  and  else- 
where and  he,  Professor  Evans  and  Dr.  John  E.  McGirr  were  well  acquainted 
with  both  the  sisters  and  the  bishop.  In  their  search  for  suitable  management 
for  the  hospital,  it  occurred  to  them  that  the  sisters  were  the  proper  persons 
to  undertake  the  work  and  carry  it  on  successfully. 

Finally,  with  the  consent  of  Bishop  Van  der  Veld,  four  Sisters  of  Mercy 
left  the  Mother  House  February  22,  1851,  to  take  care  of  the  Illinois  General 
Hospital  of  the  Lakes.  They  were  Sisters  M.  Vincent,  M.  De  Chantal, 
M.  Patricia,  and  M.  Anna.  Sister  M.  Vincent  McGirr,  a  sister  of  Dr.  McGirr, 
was  made  local  superior. 

Shortly  after  their  arrival  at  the  hospital  Sister  M.  Anna  died  of  the 
cholera. 

The  sisters  increased  the  number  of  beds  to  twenty-four  and  needed  more, 
as  they  could  not  admit  all  who  applied.  At  the  end  of  two  years,  when  the 
lease  expired,  it  was  impossible  to  secure  a  renewal.  At  this  time  two  double 
brick  houses  were  in  process  of  construction  in  Wabash  Avenue  near  Van 
Buren  Street.  These  would  not  be  finished  for  several  months  and  the  only 
place  available,  which  was  large  enough,  was  a  rickety  old  one-story  and 
attic  building,  "Tippecanoe  Hall,"  at  the  corner  of  Kinzie  Street  and  what  is 
now  North  State  Street.  To  these  makeshift  quarters  the  sisters  and 
patients  moved  in  May,  1853.  Here  they  remained  until  August  of  that 
year,  when  they  took  possession  of  their  new  abode  in  Wabash  Avenue. 

Shortly  after  taking  over  the  rooms  in  the  Lake  House  the  sisters  obtained 
a  hospital  charter,  June  21,  1851.  The  name  of  the  institution  was  changed 
to  Mercy  Hospital.  The  late  Dr.  Hosmer  A.  Johnson  was  the  first  interne 
and  he  assumed  his  duties  while  the  establishment  was  still  in  the  Lake 
House.  Doctors  Daniel  Brainard,  N.  S.  Davis,  J.  V.  Z.  Blaney,  John  Evans, 
John  McLean,  William  B.  Herrick  and  Thomas  Spencer  formed  the  attend- 
ing staff.  Dr.  Edmund  Andrews  became  surgeon  to  the  hospital  in  1855  and 
for  nearly  half  a  century  he  performed  the  duties  of  that  position. 

A  difference  of  opinion  having  arisen  between  Dr.  Daniel  Brainard,  dean 
of  Rush  Medical  College,  and  Dr.  N.  S.  Davis,  secretary,  as  to  the  policy  of 
the  institution  and  the  course  of  instruction,  Dr.  Davis  and  his  adherents, 
including  Doctors  Andrews,  Johnson,  John  H.  Hollister,  William  H.  Byford 
and  others,  founded  the  medical  department  of  Lind  University,  soon  to  be 
the  Chicago  Medical  College,  and  later  the  Northwestern  University  Medi- 
cal School.  The  faculty  of  the  new  college  promptly  contracted  with  Mercy 
Hospital  to  furnish  free  medical  and  surgical  attendance  in  return  for  the 
privilege  of  holding  clinics. 

From  Wabash  Avenue  and  Van  Buren  Street  the  sisters  moved  their  hos-

pital  to  St.  Agatha's  Academy  building,  at  Calumet  Avenue  and  Rio  Grande 
Street  (now  Twenty-sixth  Street).  The  building  was  a  large  brick  struc- 
ture with  two  and  a  half  acres  of  ground  around  it.  The  number  of  patients 
had  increased  to  one  hundred  and  the  need  for  more  room  was  soon  keenly 
felt.  As  an  instance :  The  same  apartment  answered  both  for  the  pharmacy 
and  for  the  sleeping  quarters  of  one  interne,  who  happened  to  be  Dr.  Wil- 
liam E.  Quine. 

In  the  year  1869  the  cornerstone  of  the  east  front  structure  was  laid.  It 
extended  200  feet  in  Calumet  Avenue  with  two  wings  of  180  feet  in  Twenty- 
sixth  Street  and  a  middle  wing,  110  by  35  feet,  in  which  was  the  chapel. 
When  these  buildings  were  erected  the  sisters  were  told  that  it  was  folly 
to  build  so  large  a  plant  and  that  they  never  could  use  it  all.  It  was  not 
long,  however,  before  double  the  space  could  have  been  utilized. 

At  this  time  Mercy  Hospital  was  considered  the  finest  institution  west  of 
New  York.  With  the  lapse  of  years,  however,  the  quarters  became  cramped 
and  many  improvements,  such  as  elevators  and  laboratories,  were  lacking. 
The  amphitheater,  which  had  been  the  pride  of  the  faculty  and  students  of 
the  Chicago  Medical  College,  was  now  too  small  to  accommodate  the  num- 
ber of  students  attending  clinics.  It  was  here  that  Dr.  Byford,  during  the 
winter  season  of  1871-72,  performed  the  first  ovariotomy  in  Chicago.  Here 
also  Professor  Andrews  performed  many  major  operations,  meanwhile  keep- 
ing in  touch  with  all  improvements  in  asepsis  and  technic.  "Whenever  Dr. 
Andrews  went  away  on  a  trip,"  wrote  Dr.  John  B.  Murphy,  "the  sisters  had 
learned  to  expect  a  long  list  of  improvements  to  be  made  and  new  ideas  to 
be  carried  out." 

In  their  anxiety  to  keep  pace  with  the  advancement  of  medicine  and  sur- 
gery, the  sisters  were  confronted  with  the  immediate  necessity  for  elaborate 
remodeling  and  additions.  In  1892  the  entire  old  part  of  the  hospital  was 
rehabilitated  and  a  new  wing  in  Twenty-sixth  Street  was  constructed.  This 
wing  is  120  feet  deep  by  24  feet  wide,  with  space  for  ninety  additional  beds 
in  all. 

The  old  building  of  the  Chicago  Medical  College  on  the  corner  of  Prairie 
Avenue  and  Twenty-sixth  Street  was  torn  down  in  1896  and  in  its  place  an 
addition  to  the  hospital  was  built.  This  structure  increased  the  capacity  of 
the  hospital  to  the  extent  of  two  large  wards  and  fifty  private  rooms,  adding 
nearly  one  hundred  beds  to  the  institution. 

In  1908  the  new  wing,  or  Mercy  Hospital  Annex,  was  completed  and  in 
1915  the  new  convent  wing  and  addition  to  Mercy  Hospital  in  Calumet 
Avenue  near  Twenty-sixth  Street  was  finished.  All  that  portion  facing 
Calumet  Avenue  is  devoted  to  hospital  purposes  exclusively. 

It  is  planned  to  erect  a  new  building  to  replace  the  last  remaining  portion 
of  the  old  structure  on  the  corner  of  Twenty-sixth  Street  and  Calumet 
Avenue. 

In  June,  1919,  Mercy  Dispensary,  a  separate  unit,  though  an  integral  part 
of  the  hospital,  was  opened.  It  stands  on  property  adjoining  the  hospital. 
There  are  fourteen  departments,  each  offering  service  every  clay,  and  the 
clinical  staff  is  composed  entirely  of  the  staff  of  Mercy  Hospital. 

In  December,  1919,  the  contract  of  affiliation  with  the  hospital  was  changed 
from  Northwestern  University  Medical  School  to  Loyola  University  School 
of  Medicine.  The  hospital  staff  consists  of  thirty  members,  who  are  nomi- 
nated by  Loyola  University  and  appointed  by  the  sister  governing  body.

UNITED  STATES  MARINE  HOSPITAL  NO.  S 
4141    Clarendon    Avenue 

UNITED     STATES     MARINE     HOSPITAL     NO.     5 

Component  of  an  organization  125  years  old,  the  United  States  Marine 
Hospital  Number  5  was  established  under  an  act  of  1837  extending  the 
United  States  Public  Service  to  western  waters.  An  appropriation  having 
been  granted  in  1848,  plans  for  the  construction  of  the  hospital  were  made 
by  Robert  Mills,  architect  for  the  treasury  department. 

The  site  chosen  for  the  structure  formed  part  of  the  old  Fort  Dearborn 
reservation.  The  hospital  was  opened  for  patients  in  1852,  with  Dr.  W.  B. 
Herrick  in  charge. 

Due  to  the  rapid  expansion  of  the  city,  commerce  soon  encroached  upon 
the  hospital  environment  and  the  problem  of  light  and  ventilation  became 
pressing.  In  1867  Congress  enacted  legislation  providing  for  the  erection 
of  a  new  hospital  and  commissioners  were  appointed  by  the  secretary  of  the 
treasury,  of  which  the  collector  of  the  port  was  chairman,  to  choose  a  site. 
The  location  finally  selected  was  the  site  now  occupied,  midway  between 
Chicago  and  Evanston. 

A  chronicler  of  the  time  says,  "The  tract  was  in  the  town  of  Lake  View 
and  was  a  part  of  a  school  section.  It  is  quite  certain  that  the  commendable 
desire  of  the  commission  to  replenish  the  school  funds  largely  governed  their 
action  in  this  matter.  As  to  healthfulness,  the  site  was  all  that  could  be 
desired  but,  being  six  miles  from  the  business  center  of  the  city,  the  institu- 
tion is  too  far  away  either  to  be  conveniently  or  economically  administered 
and  this  inconvenience  of  access  has  been  the  constant  complaint  of  the 
new  officers  in  charge." 

Contracts  for  the  erection  of  the  new  building  were  let  in  1869,  but  it  was 
not  opened  for  the  reception  of  patients  until  four  years  afterward. 


HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO  239 

In  the  meantime  came  the  great  fire  of  1871.  Dr.  Niles  T.  Quales  was  the 
physician  in  charge.  As  the  flames  menaced  the  lives  of  the  sixty-seven 
inmates  Dr.  and  Mrs.  Quales,  deserted  by  all  the  hospital  help  except  two 
nurses,  rescued  every  patient,  including  two  men  with  broken  legs.  Dr. 
and  Mrs.  Quales  were  the  last  to  remain  on  the  scene  and  escaped  with 
their  lives  in  an  express  wagon  which  they  commandeered.  The  patients 
were  all  transferred  to  Mercy  Hospital,  which  was  beyond  the  fire  zone. 

The  new  Marine  Hospital  was  opened  in  1873.  It  is  built  upon  the  pavilion 
plan  and  consists  of  a  central  administration  building  and  two  wings.  The 
dimensions  are  three  hundred  by  thirty  feet  and  the  material  is  Joliet  lime- 
stone. There  are  four  stories  and  a  basement.  The  original  capacity  was 
two  hundred  and  fifty  patients.  Connected  with  the  hospital  is  a  dispensary 
for  out  patients. 

In  1895  $10,000  was  expended  for  the  construction  of  a  general  operating 
room. 

Besides  Doctors  Herrick  and  Quales,  among  those  who  were  in  charge  of 
the  Marine  Hospital  were  Doctors  Daniel  Brainard,  E.  C.  Rogers,  E.  O.  F. 
Roler,  Ralph  N.  Isham,  Truman  W.  Miller,  John  B.  Hamilton  and  H.  R. 
Carter. 

The  hospital  is  now  operated  by  the  United  States  Public  Health  Service 
and  admits  for  treatment  all  of  the  beneficiaries  of  that  service.  For  many 
years  only  merchant  seamen  were  admitted,  but  the  different  classes  of 
the  beneficiaries  now  numbers  thirteen.  These  include  the  veterans  of  the 
World  War.  The  following  tabular  statement  shows  the  number  of  admis- 
sions during  recent  years :

January   1,   1922,   to  April   1,   1922 

Total 2,850  1.224 

For  a  short  time  during  1921,  the  hospital  was  used  as  a  neuro-psychiatric 
hospital,  but  on  November  1,  1921,  its  status  was  again  changed  to  that  of 
a  general  hospital.     Its  present  normal  bed  capacity  is  125.     There  are  ten 
medical  officers   on   the   staff,   three   attending  specialists,    fourteen   nurses, 
ten   technical   assistants    and    sixty-four   other   employes.     The   number   of 
patients  at  the  present  time  (April  21,  1922)  is  121.     Recent  medical  , 
in  charge  have  been  Senior  Surgeon  George  B.  Young,  from  April,  1 
Tune  1911,  and  Senior  Surgeon  J.  O.  Cobb.

HAHNEMANN  HOSPITAL 

2814    Ellis    Avenue 


II  A  H  N  E  M  A  N  N     HOSPITAL 

To  a  woman's  generosity  is  due  the  origin  of  Hahnemann  Hospital  of  the 
City  of  Chicago,  to  use  its  corporate  title.  In  1853  Mrs.  H.  Wright,  a  pub- 
lic-spirited citizen,  offered  to  Dr.  George  E.  Shipman  $1,000  a  year  for  the 
support  of  a  homeopathic  hospital. 

A  suitable  home  was. obtained  at  18  Kinzie  Street,  and  the  hospital  was 
opened  to  patients.  The  first  report  made  by  Dr.  Shipman  in  1885,  shows 
that  fifty-two  ipatients  had  been  treated  in  the  hospital  during  the  year. 
More  patients  were  not  treated,  the  report  states,  because  smallpox  had 
gained  entrance  to  the  hospital,  and  it  was  necessary  to  close  it  to  all  other 
patients  for  three  months. 

In  1855  the  hospital  was  transferred  to  the  trustees  of  the  Hahnemann 
Medical  College,  whose  charter  permitted  them  to  conduct  a  hospital.  For 
many  years  thereafter  the  hospital  had  a  precarious  existence  as  an  adjunct 
of  the  Hahnemann  Medical  College,  sharing  in  the  many  vicissitudes  which 
met  this  college  during  its  early  struggle  for  existence.  In  1870  the  college 
became  located  permanently  in  Cottage  Grove  Avenue,  and  the  hospital 
came  into  possession  of  the  property  on  which  the  present  Hahnemann  Hos- 
pital Training  School  for  Nurses  stands  at  2815  Ellis  Avenue. 

In  1872  a  brick  addition,  including  an  amphitheatre  for  clinical  purposes, 
was  built  on  the  front  of  the  lot.-  The  out-patient  department,  which  was 
established  with  the  opening  of  the  college  in  1860,  was  now  incorporated 
with  the  hospital  and  conducted  in  the  new  part  of  this  clinical  building. 


HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO 


241 


In  1894  the  present  hospital  was  erected  and  the  old  hospital  was  re- 
constructed for  the  training  school.  From  year  to  year  the  hospital  has 
been  remodeled  to  meet  the  new  and  ever-increasing  demands  for  hospital 
service. 

With  the  erection  of  the  present  hospital  the  trustees  of  the  college  and 
hospital  incorporated  the  latter  under  the  same  board  of  trustees,  this  being 
done  to  overcome  certain  financial  limitations  in  the  college  charter.  In  1915 
the  hospital  charter  was  amended  to  allow  it  to  "purchase,  erect,  own,  con- 
duct and  operate  hospitals,  schools,  colleges  and  universities,  one  of  which 
colleges  shall  be  a  medical  college" ;  and  the  following  year  the  trustees  of 
the  Hahnemann  Medical  College  transferred  its  management  to  the  board 
of  Hahnemann  Hospital.  In  1921,  however,  the  two  institutions  again  sepa- 
rated for  purposes  of  administration  and  finance. 

The  hospital  now  has  140  beds  for  patients,  who  are  cared  for  in  private 
rooms,  two-bed  rooms,  small  wards  and  in  larger  clinical  wards.  Ample 
provisions  are  made  for  free  patients. 

Clinical  service  in  the  hospital  is  given  by  members  of  the  faculty  of  the 
Hahnemann  Medical  College.  The  pathological  staff  of  the  college  and  the 
college  laboratories  supplement  the  pathological  staff  of  the  hospital  and  the 
work  of  the  smaller  hospital  laboratories.  "Any  recognized  physician,"  the 
hospital  circular  states,  "may  bring  his  patients  to  the  private  department  of 
the  hospital,  and  receive  any  service  and  assistance  accorded  to  the  physi- 
cians who  are  members  of  the  staff." 

In  recent  years  the  number  of  patients  admitted  to  the  hospital  annually 
has  exceeded  3,100,  and  the  number  of  visits  to  the  dispensary  has  been 
more  than  11,000.

feet.  The  doors  of  these  cubicles  were  fitted  with  apertures  through  which 
to  pass  food.  The  only  heat  came  from  a  stove  in  the  corridor  which  did 
not  raise  the  temperature  in  some  of  the  cells  above  the  freezing  point.  The 
cold,  however,  did  not  freeze  out  the  vermin  with  which  the  beds,  walls  and 
floors  were  alive.  The  arrangements  for  bathing  were  so  imperfect  that 
during  the  winter  months  there  were  no  ablutions  of  the  body;  even  in  sum- 
mer the  number  of  tubs  was  too  small  and  they  were  inconveniently  located. 

Squalor  and  mediaeval  methods  pervaded  the  place  and  the  same  civic  intel- 
ligence that,  in  Chicago,  during  the  days  of  the  rebellion,  permitted  a  stal- 
wart policeman  to  be  the  only  health  officer  in  the  city  guided  the  county's 
eleemosynary  institutions. 

The  county  poor  farm  was  established  in  1851  at  the  town  of  Jefferson 
about  twelve  miles  northwest  of  Chicago.  The  farm  consisted  of  160  acres 
of  fairly  improved  land  formerly  owned  by  Peter  Ludby,  grantee  under  a 
patent  of  1839. 

The  poor  house  was  completed  in  1855.  The  building  was  of  brick,  three 
stories  high  and  costing  about  $25,000.  The  original  department  for  the 
insane  adjoined  this  structure  and  contained  the  primitive  accommodations 
that  have  been  described. 

"A  miserably  planned  and  badly  managed  institution  for  so  wealthy  a 
county,"  was  the  condemnation  passed  upon  the  establishment  by  the  Illi- 
nois Commission  of  Public  Charities  in  its  first  biennial  report  dated  Decem- 
ber, 1870. 

Conditions  that  evoked  this  censure  had,  however,  become  so  manifest  to 
Chicago  and  Cook  County  that  even  before  the  report  was  written  vigorous 
agitation  had  resulted  in  plans  for  the  construction  of  an  adequate  retreat 
for  the  insane,  and,  almost  simultaneously  with  the  issuance  of  the  com- 
mission's statement,  a  new  asylum  was  built  and  opened.  This  institution 
was  erected  on  the  county  farm  a  little  more  than  a  hundred  yards  northeast 
of  the  infirmary.  It  stood  in  the  midst  of  a  grove  near  the  shores  of  an 
artificial  lake. 

The  structure  had  a  frontage  to  the  east  of  272  feet  and  v;as  divided  by  a 
central  building  in  which  the  offices  were  situated.  The  two  wings,  each  116 
feet  long,  were  divided  into  wards.  Each  wing,  three  stoi'es  high  above 
the  basement,  had  central  corridors  thirteen  feet  wide.  The  patients'  rooms 
were  on  each  side  of  the  corridors.  Especial  pains  were  taken  to  secure  a 
thoroughly  efficient  system  of  warming  and  ventilation.  The  heating  was 
by  high  pressure  steam  and  ventilation  and  was  forced  by  two  double-bladed 
fans  eight  feet  in  diameter.  There  were  two  bath  rooms  and  three  water 
closets  on  each  floor.  Each  wing  had  a  dining  room  on  each  floor  with  an 
attendants'  room  adjoining.  Pure  water  was  supplied  by  an  artesian  well, 
756  feet  deep. 

The  cost  of  these  buildings  was  $135,000.  They  furnished  accommoda- 
tions to  200  patients,  giving  a  room  to  each.  In  1871,  on  account  of  the 
overcrowded  condition  of  the  hospital,  cells  were  fitted  up  in  the  basement. 
In  1873  a  fourth  story  addition  was  added  to  the  main  building  for  the 
insane  which  was  occupied  during  the  early  part  of  January,  1874,  as  an 
amusement  hall  and  quarters  for  about  fifty  patients.  In  this  same  year  a 
piano  was  supplied  for  the  entertainment  of  the  inmates  and  a  bowling 
alley  was  fitted  up  in  the  basement. 


HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO  243 

Conditions  had  so  improved  in  1878  that  the  State  Board  of  Commissioners 
of  Public  Charities  was  impelled  to  make  this  comment:  "The  insane  de- 
partment is  a  large  and  well  built  establishment  constructed  substantially 
on  the  principles  and  methods  approved  by  the  American  Association  of 
Medical  Superintendents  of  Hospitals  for  the  Insane.  The  number  of  wards 
is  sixteen ;  there  are  four  floors  and  four  wards  on  each  floor.  There  are  437 
inmates  with  100  sleeping  on  the  floor." 

Up  to  1882  the  infirmary  and  the  insane  asylum  were  under  the  entire 
control  of  a  committee 'of  five  county  commissioners.  The  committee  ap- 
pointed a  medical  superintendent  for  the  asylum  and  a  warden,  matron, 
engineer  and  storekeeper,  but  none  of -these  officers  had  any  power  except  as 
directed  by  the  committee,  nor  had  either  institution  any  head.  However,  in 
1882  the  county  board  adopted  rules  giving  to  the  warden  and  superintendent 
authority  in  management  and  control. 

The  asylum  was  the  first  in  the  west  to  appoint  female  physicians  and 
was  the  first  in  the  state  to  appoint  graduate  female  nurses.  The  women 
physicians  were  Dr.  Delia  Howe,  appointed  May  1,  1884,  and  Dr.  Harriet 
Alexander,  appointed  February  1,  1885. 

Detached  ward  buildings  were  completed  in  1885  at  a  cost  of  $135,000.  A 
large  basement  later  housed  a  general  bathroom  for  patients  with  a  swim- 
ming pool  measuring  20  by  25  feet. 

Thus  while  domiciliary  conditions  had  vastly  improved  since  the  benighted 
days  before  the  Civil  War,  many  complaints  were  made  at  this  time  against 
the  appointment  of  employes  through  political  friendship.  This  system  had, 
as  usual,  resulted  in  the  presence  of  many  inexperienced  and  incapable 
attendants. 

Dr.  Kiernan,  who  had  been  medical  superintendent  from  September  1, 
1884,  to  September  1,  1885,  read  a  paper  before  the  Chicago  Medical  Society 
complaining  of  abuses  and  mistreatment  of  patients  and  as  a  result  a  com- 
mittee of  the  State  Board  of  Charities  investigated  the  institution.  Sev- 
eral county  commissioners,  ex-county  commissioners  and  about  fourteen  con- 
tractors were  caught  in  the  probe  and  later  indicted  by  the  grand  jury. 

In  1890  Dr.  John  A,  Benson  was  medical  superintendent.  During  this 
year  cottage  wards  1,  2,  3,  and  4  were  completed.  A  biological  laboratory 
and  autopsy  house  were  also  erected.  The  lower  floor  of  the  amusement 
hall  was  fitted  up  as  an  industrial  department  for  re-educational  purposes 
and  a  teacher  was  employed  to  teach  industrial  arts. 

During  the  year  1895  civil  service  was  instituted  and  the  control  and  treat- 
ment of  patients  in  the  insane  asylum  was  for  the  first  time  placed  under  the 
sole  management  of  an  able  corps  of  physicians  appointed  by  reason  of  their 
fitness.  A  medical  supervising  staff  was  appointed  September  23,  1895,  con- 
sisting of  Dr.  Richard  Dewey,  Dr.  Sanger  Brown,  Dr.  Archibald  Church, 
Dr.  D.  W.  Lewis  and  Dr.  William  Cuthberston.  This  staff  made  the  rules 
for  the  hospital  resident  staff. 

In  1897  cottage  wards  5  and  6  were  completed  and  the  following  year 
witnessed  the  opening  of  the  consumptive  hospital.  In  1903  the  hospital 
was  remodeled  and  used  for  the  physically  sick  insane. 

Dr.  John  R.  Neely  was  appointed  general  superintendent  November  30, 
1902.  The  working  force  of  the  institution  was  under  the  supervision  of 
the  general  superintendent,  the  assistant  superintendent  being  in  charge  of 


244  HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO 

the  infirmary.     Dr.  Neely  resigned  as  general  superintendent  June  1,  1903. 
By  this  time  wards  7,  8  and  9  were  completed. 

In  order  to  modernize  the  institution,  Dr.  V.  H.  Podstata  was  appointed 
general  superintendent  June  1,  1903.  A  training  school  for  nurses  was 
established  and  the  pathological  department  was  re-established  with  Dr. 
M.  H.  McHugh  in  charge.  Cottage  wards  10  and  11  were  completed  in 
1904  and  in  1905  the  first  graduation  exercises  of  the  training  school  for 
nurses  was  held. 

Dr.  Podstata  resigned  July  16,  1906,  to  become  superintendent  of  the 
Elgin  State  Hospital  and  Dr.  O.  C.  Willhite  was  appointed  to  succeed  him. 
During  this  year  hydrotherapeutic  and  electrical  appliances  were  installed 
in  the  west  basement  of  the  hospital  Avard.  In  1907  a  psychopathologist 
was  appointed  and  semi-weekly  meetings  of  the  staff  were  held  for  the  pre- 
sentation of  cases  and  for  discussions.  An  elaborate  system  for  the  re-edu- 
cation of  the  insane  was  developed.  Two  attendants  were  sent  to  the  School 
of  Civics  and  Philanthropy  with  pay  and  a  consulting  staff  of  twelve  physi- 
cians from  Chicago  was  attached  to  the  institution. 

In  the  year  1909  the  general  asembly  enacted  a  law  entitled  "An  Act  to 
Revise  the  Laws  Relating  to  Charities."  Section  20  of  this  act  provided  for 
the  removal  of  the  insane  and  feeble  minded  from  the  county  almshouses  to 
state  institutions.  All  of  the  provisions  of  Section  20  were  complied  with 
except  that  part  relating  to  the  insane  and  feeble-minded  in  almshouses  in 
counties  of  more  than  150,000  population. 

All  patients  in  the  county  infirmary  having  been  transferred  to  Oak  Forest, 
Illinois,  in  December,  the  buildings  of  the  infirmary  at  Dunning  were  used 
to  house  the  insane. 

An  appropriation  was  made  by  the  general  assembly  in  1911  to  provide 
for  the  insane  and  feeble  minded  in  the  Cook  County  Hospital  for  the  Insane 
at  Dunning,  Illinois. 

On  July  1,  1912,  the  County  of  Cook  transferred  to  the  State  of  Illinois 
all  lands,  buildings  and  equipment  known  as  the  Cook  County  Institution  at 
Dunning,  the  name  to  be  changed  to  the  Chicago  State  Hospital. 

The  details  of  the  transfer  to  the  state  were  handled  by  a  committee 
composed  of  four  members  of  the  Board  of  Cook  County  Commissioners 
in  joint  session  with  the  Board  of  Administration  of  the  State  of  Illinois. 
The  county  board  was  represented  by  Peter  Bartzen,  president ;  Bartley 
Burg,  Joseph  Mendel  and  Lawrence  J.  Coffey.  The  appraisal  of  buildings, 
lands  and  furniture  resulted  in  a  total  valuation  of  $1,519,128.06. 

The  buildings  consisted  of  the  administration?  building,  two  detached 
ward  buildings,  hospital,  infirmary  buildings,  cottage  wards  1,  2,  3,  4,  5, 
6,  7,  8,  9,  10,  11,  farm  wards,  six  tuberculosis  cottages,  nurses'  cottage, 
amusement  hall,  store  building,  laundry,  pathological  laboratory  and  morgue 
building,  power  house,  fire  hall,  horse  stable,  cold  storage  plant,  slaughter 
house  and  two  greenhouses. 

The  State  of  Illinois  assumed  charge  of  the  Cook  County  Insane  Asylum, 
July  1,  1912,  and  the  name  was  changed  to  the  Chicago  State  Hospital. 

When  the  hospital  was  taken  over  by  the  state,  Dr.  F.  B.  Clarke,  formerly 
medical  director  under  the  county  management,  was  appointed  acting 
superintendent  and  served  as  such  until  the  time  of  his  resignation,  Decem- 
ber 15,  1912,  when  Dr.  R.  H.  Rea  became  acting  superintendent,  serving 


HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO  245 

until  April  7,  1913.  Dr.  George  Leininger  was  appointed  superintendent 
the  same  day  and  served  until  September  6,  1917,  when  he  was  succeeded 
by  Dr.  Charles  F.  Read,  formerly  superintendent  of  the  Watertown  State 
Hospital.  Dr.  Read  served  until  October  1,  1921,  when  he  was  succeeded 
by  Dr.  D.  D.  Coffey,  the  present  superintendent.  During  this  period  the 
hospital  population  had  steadily  increased  from  2,759  on  October  1,  1914, 
to  3,567  on  April  1,  1922. 

Due  to  labor  conditions,  no  new  building"  was  done  during  this  period 
other  than  the  completion  of  the  structures  started  in  1914.  In  consequence 
the  wards  are  quite  crowded.  In  spite  of  this  fact  the  patients  are  at 
present  receiving  better  medical  and  nursing  service  than  ever  before  in 
the  history  of  the  institution.  During  the  years  1917-18-19,  owing  to  the 
scarcity  of  help  the  work  of  the  institutions  was  carried  on  under  great 
handicaps.  At  one  time  the  nursing  and  attendant  force  was  only  two- 
thirds  of  the  minimum  necessary  for  safety  and  the  medical  staff  was 
depleted  in  a  similar  manner.  In  spite  of  these  difficulties,  however,  several 
forward  steps  were  taken  in  the  care  of  the  patients. 

In  June,  1918,  a  department  of  occupational  therapy  was  established  by 
the  Department  of  Public  Welfare  under  the  direction  of  Dr.  H.  Douglas 
Singer,  state  alienist  at  that  time  and  by  Mrs.  Eleanor  C.  Slagle,  then 
director  of  the  Henry  Favill  School  of  Occupational  Therapy.  This  depart- 
ment has  steadily  grown  and  is  now  one  of  the  outstanding  features  of 
the  institution,  providing  as  it  does  for  the  therapeutic  occupation  of  de- 
pressed and  apathetic,  disinterested  patients  who  formerly  were  allowed 
to  sit  about  in  idleness  for  lack  of  anything  to  do.  An  old  power  house 
was  converted  into  an  occupational  center  which  serves  as  a  high  school, 
as  it  were,  to  which  patients  are  promoted  from  the  occupational  classes 
on  the  various  wards.  Some  600  patients  are  daily  touched  by  the  activities 
of  this  department.  In  connection  there  is  a  large,  well  equipped  gym- 
nasium and  most  excellent  playground. 

The  medical  officers  under  the  direction  of  Dr.  E.  A.  Foley,  assistant 
managing  officer,  consist  of  thirteen  physicians. 

In  July,  1918,  a  central  state  psychiatric  training  school  for  nurses  was 
established  by  the  Department  of  Public  Welfare  at  the  Chicago  State 
Hospital.  It  provides  a  most  excellent  three  years'  course  of  training 
leading  up  to  examination  for  the  degree  of  R.  N.  and  also  offers  post- 
graduate courses  as  well  as  affiliate  courses  which  nurses  in  general  hos- 
pitals may  elect. 

The  State  Psychopathic  Institute  was  moved  in  October,  1919,  from 
Kankakee  State  Hospital  to  Chicago  State  Hospital  pending  final  location 
in  the  new  hospital  block  at  present  under  way  at  Polk  and  Wood  streets. 
Dr.  H.  Douglas  Singer,  state  alienist,  was  director  from  1908  to  1921. 
Dr.  Charles  F.  Read,  state  alienist,  is  at  present  in  charge. 

In  the  fall  of  1918,  as  a  part  of  the  state  program  of  the  Department  of 
Public  Welfare,  a  department  of  social  service  was  organized  at  Chicago 
State  Hospital  in  which  there  are  at  present  one  chief  worker  and  four 
field  workers,  whose  chief  duty  it  is  to  investigate  homes  of  patients  prior 
to  parole  and  to  assist  them  and  their  families  in  their  adjustment  to  life 
on  the  outside  when  they  leave  the  institution.  An  average  of  300  patients 
are  constantly  upon  parole  in  their  homes  subject  to  this  supervision  on 


246 


HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO 


the  part  of  the  hospital.  Also  several  clinics  are  held  weekly  to  which 
patients  return  to  make  reports  during  the  time  they  are  upon  parole. 

At  the  present  time  employes  number  553,  350  of  whom  are  directly 
engaged  in  caring  for  the  patients. 

The  Chicago  State  Hospital,  as  well  as  all  other  state  institutions  of 
a  similar  character,  is  under  the  supervision  and  control  of  the  Department 
of  Public  Welfare,  of  which  Judge  C.  H.  Jenkins  is  at  present  director.

ISOLATION    HOSPITAL 
3411    South   Hamlin   Avenue 

ISOLATION     HOSPITAL 

By  Dr.  George  C.  Hunt,  Chief  of  the  Ambulance  Division,  Health  Depart- 
ment, and  former  Inspector  of  the  Isolation  Hospital. 

The  first  smallpox  hospital  in  Chicago  was  erected  in  1856  on  a  piece  of 
ground  in  what  is  now  Lincoln  Park.  Its  capacity  was  small — twelve  pa- 
tients. Only  those  too  poor  to  afford  a  physician  were  taken  there.  The 
better  classes  were  quarantined  in  their  own  homes.  At  the  close  of  the 
war  in  1865  the  main  building  was  enlarged  to  two  stories  and  two  one- 
story  wings  were  added,  about  quadrupling  the  capacity  of  the  building. 
The  great  fire  of  1871  wiped  out  this  building  and  in  the  spring  of  1872 
another  two-story  frame  building  was  erected  on  the  same  site.  This  was 
again  destroyed  by  fire  a  few  months  later  and  that  fall  the  erection  of  a 
brick  building  30  by  150  feet  and  two  stories  in  height  was  begun  on  city 
property  at  Twenty-sixth  Street  and  Sacramento  Avenue.  This  was  com- 
pleted in  the  following  spring  and  was  sufficient  for  the  city's  requirements 
until  the  epidemic  of  1881  to  1883.  In  1882  a  frame  wing  was  added. 

After  the  cessation  of  the  pest  in  1883  a  long  period  of  absolute  immunity 
from  smallpox  ensued  until,  in  1894,  the  great  epidemic  assumed  such  large 
proportions  that  at  first  the  large  T-shaped,  one-story  structure  was  added 
and  then  an  overflow  frame  building  two  stories  in  height  was  constructed 
at  Ogden  and  Forty-fourth  avenues. 

For  nearly  a  score  of  years  every  commissioner  of  health  had  urged  the 
construction  of  a  safe  and  proper  hospital  for  the  reception  and  treatment 
of  smallpox  patients,  but  it  remained  for  Dr.  Arthur  R.  Reynolds,  com- 
missioner during  this  epidemic,  effectively  to  denounce  what  he  termed  in 
his  annual  report  for  1894  "the  criminally  inadequate  hospital  facilities  and 
unspeakable  condition  of  the  old  hospital  structure."  Dr.  Reynolds  so 


HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO  247 

aroused    public    sentiment    that    the    city    council    officially    took    action   on 
the  subject. 

Through  Dr.  Reynolds'  indefatigable  exertions  in  the  face  of  bitter  opposi- 
tion to  every  proposed  location  on  the  part  of  the  residents  and  property 
owners,  a  piece  of  ground  at  Thirty-fifth  Street  and  Lawndale  Avenue  was 
purchased  (the  site  of  the  present  buildings)  and  plans  were  formulated  for 
a  new  building  which  resulted  in  an  isolation  hospital  that  was  perfect 
in  its  appointments  and  the  equal  of  any  modern  hospital  in  this  country 
or  Europe. 

To  those  of  us  who  were  in  attendance  at,  or  who  had  occasion  to  visit, 
the  old  pest  house,  the  change  was  little  short  of  miraculous.  With  the 
destruction  of  the  old  smallpox  hospital  by  fire  December  1,  1896,  was 
terminated  one  of  the  horrors  of  the  nineteenth  century  and  yet  we  may 
thank  God  that  things  were  no  worse. 

In  the  fall  and  winter  of  1893  the  old  building  was  so  crowded  that  every 
available  bit  of  space  in  main  building,  barracks  or  tents  was  occupied  and 
new  patients  had  to  be  laid  on  the  floor  and  in  the  passageways  while  the 
attendants  shuffled  along  side  ways  in  an  endeavor  to  find  room  to  step. 

Two  hydrants  in  the  main  buildings  and  three  in  the  wooden  additions 
furnished  the  water  supply.  The  only  means  of  illumination  were  kerosene 
lamps,  which  were  within  reach  of  every  delirious  patient  and  were  not  even 
guarded  by  a  wire  protection  until  late  in  the  year.  Ordinary  coal  stoves, 
also  unprotected,  gave  an  unequal  and  variable  heat.  It  is  only  owing  to 
the  goodness  of  Providence  and  the  untiring  watchfulness  of  the  Sisters 
who  were  nurses  that  a  terrible  catastrophe  did  not  occur. 

In  June,  1895,  the  original  hospital  plans  were  submitted  to  a  committee 
of  experts  composed  of  Doctors  John  B.  Hamilton,  A.  C.  Cotton,  E.  Garrott 
and  F.  W.  Reilly.  Their  labors  resulted  in  a  modification  of  the  original 
design  which  effected  a  material  reduction  in  the  estimated  cost,  this  reduc- 
tion being  deemed  necessary  on  account  of  the  straitened  financial  condi- 
tion of  the  city. 

The  new  hospital  was  located  on  a  block  600  feet  square  bounded  by 
Thirty-fourth  Street,  Lawndale  Avenue,  Thirty-fifth  Street  and  Hamlin 
Avenue. 

In  planning  the  institution  the  idea  worked  upon  was  to  provide  a  hospital 
which  would  have  a  normal  capacity  of  about  fifty  contagious  disease  pa- 
tients, but  which  should  have  such  administrative  accommodations  for 
physicians  and  nurses  and  such  lighting,  heating  and  laundry  facilities  that 
nothing  would  be  required  in  the  event  of  an  epidemic  save  speedy  erection 
of  temporary  wards  to  expand  the  capacity  to  500  or  600  patients.  As  many 
of  these  wards  as  might  be  necessary  could  be  added  whenever  required. 

The  health  department,  having  been  pressed  to  find  room  for  diphtheria 
cases,  it  was  decided  to  devote  to  them  the  smallpox  hospital  described  by 
Dr.  Hunt,  and  to  build  a  new  smallpox  hospital.  The  latter  was  opened 
in  1908.  It  is  located  at  3411  South  Hamlin  Avenue  and  has  a  bed  capa- 
city of  40. 

In  1917  diphtheria  cases  were  removed  to  the  new  Municipal  Contagious 

Disease  Hospital. 

According  to  Dr.  Archibald  L.  Hoyne,  chief  of  the  department  of  con- 


248 


HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO 


tagious  diseases  of  the  Municipal  Contagious  Disease  Hospital,  the  Isola- 
tion Hospital  in  1921  handled  215  smallpox  cases.  In  1920,  666  cases  were 
admitted.  At  the  time  this  article  was  written,  June  23,  1922,  there  were 
no  patients  in  the  hospital. 

Besides  smallpox  the  hospital  has  handled  cases  of  leprosy  and  last  year 
energetic  preparations  were  made  in  anticipation  of  an  outbreak  of  typhus 
when  the  possibility  seemed  imminent  that  the  dread  disease  might  be 
brought  from  New  York.

ILLINOIS     CHARITABLE     EYE 
AND     EAR     INFIRMARY 

By  William  L.  Noble,  M.  D.,  Chief  of  Staff. 

What  is  now  the  Illinois  Charitable  Eye  and  Ear  Infirmary  was  first  or- 
ganized as  the  Chicago  Charitable  Eye  and  Ear  Infirmary  by  Doctor  Edward 
L.  Holmes  and  his  associates  in  May,  1858.  It  was  first  located  on  Michigan 
Avenue  near  the  river,  with  a  one  room  dispensary  in  the  Ewings  Block  at 
the  corner  of  North  Clark  and  North  Water  streets.  In  1862  it  was  removed 
to  28  North  Clark  Street.  The  third  annual  report  shows  the  following 
trustees : 

Walter  L.  Newberry  Flavel  Moseley 

William  H.  Brown  Samuel  Stone 

Dr.  Charles  V.  Dyer  Dr.  John  Evans 

Luther  Haven  Cyrus  Bentley 

Ezra  B.  McCagg  John  H.  Kinzie 

William  Barry  Philo  Carpenter 

The  board  of  surgeons  comprised  Doctors  Daniel  Brainard  and  Joseph  W. 
Freer  as  consulting  surgeons  and  Doctors  Edward  L.  Holmes  and  Edwin 
Powell  as  attending  surgeons.  These  also  acted  as  trustees  ex-officio. 

The  report  states  that  for  the  year  preceding  May,  1861,  there  had  been 
288  patients  under  treatment  and  that  since  the  opening  of  the  infirmary,  three 
years  previously,  there  had  been  an  aggregate  of  580  patients  treated.

Freer  and  Hosmer  A.  Johnson,  consulting  surgeons;  and  Edward  L.  Holmes 
and  Edwin  Powell,  attending  surgeons.  Mr.  George  Davenport  was  the 
superintendent  and  his  wife  served  as  matron. 

During  the  year  of  1870,  1,107  patients  had  been  treated,  making  an  ag- 
gregate of  6,462  that  had  been  treated  since  the  opening  of  the  infirmary  in 
1858.  At  this  time  we  find  the  Infirmary  located  at  16  East  Pearson  Street, 
near  State  Street. 

During  the  civil  war,  a  large  number  of  soldiers  with  diseases  of  the  eye 
and  ear  were  cared  for  by  the  institution,  the  care  of  the  same  being  paid  for 
by  the  Northwestern  Sanitary  Commission  and  by  the  governors  of  Illinois, 
Wisconsin  and  Minnesota. 

On  February  16,  1865,  the  Illinois  Legislature  gave  the  infirmary  a  special 
charter  and  in  1867  appropriated  $5,000  a  year  for  two  years  for  the  treatment 
of  such  poor  patients  in  the  state  as  desired  treatment  in  the  infirmary.  This 
appropriation  was  renewed  in  1869.  In  the  fall  of  1869  additional  accommo- 
dations were  provided  at  a  cost  of  $6,000,  this  money  being  subscribed  by  the 
board  of  trustees  and  the  surgeons. 

By  the  state  constitution  of  1870  appropriations  in  aid  of  institutions  not 
owned  by  the  state  were  made  illegal.  The  following  year  the  state  legisla- 
ture by  a  special  act  took  title  to  the  property  of  the  infirmary  and  established 
it  as  a  state  institution,  changing  the  name  of  "Chicago"  to  "Illinois."  On 
October  9,  1871,  the  buildings  were  entirely  destroyed  by  fire,  although  all  the 
patients  were  removed  without  injury  to  any  of  them. 

In  1872,  the  legislature  at  an  adjourned  session  appropriated  funds  for  the 
rental  of  a  suitable  building  on  Morgan  Street  for  two  years.  In  1873  a  fur- 
ther appropriation  of  $28,000  was  made  in  aid  of  the  erection  of  a  permanent 
building.  The  institution  then  had  a  fund  of  $33,000  of  its  own,  derived  from 
the  insurance  of  the  old  building  and  from  gifts,  the  chief  of  which  were  a 
donation  of  $20,000  from  the  Chicago  Relief  and  Aid  Society  and  one  of  $5,000 
from  the  United  States  Sanitary  Commission. 

The  present  site  at  the  corner  of  South  Peoria  and  West  Adams  streets  was 
purchased  for  $18,000.  The  estimated  cost  of  the  present  building,  which  was 
erected  and  occupied  in  the  summer  of  1874,  was  $48,000.  The  building  is  of 
brick,  with  stone  trimmings,  four  stories  in  height  above  the  basement,  is  L- 
shaped  with  a  frontage  on  West  Adams  Street  of  105  feet  and  a  frontage  on 
South  Peoria  Street  of  95  feet,  6  inches,  and  is  47  feet  deep.  The  lot  has  a 
frontage  of  126  feet  on  West  Adams  Street  and  147  feet  on  South  Peoria 
Street. 

The  seventeenth  annual  report  of  the  institution,  following  the  erection  of 
the  new  building  by  the  state,  shows  the  following  officers,  trustees  and 
surgeons : 

Trustees— E.  W.  Blatchford,  president;  B.  W.  Raymond,  vice-president; 


250  HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO 

Daniel  Goodwin,  Jr.,  secretary;  H.  W.  King  and  J.  T.  Ryerson.  Ezra  B. 
McCagg  served  as  treasurer. 

Consulting  surgeons — Doctors  Joseph  W.  Freer,  Hosmer  A.  Johnson  and 
Edwin  Powell;  attending  ophthalmic  surgeons — Doctors  Edward  L.  Holmes 
and  Ferdinand  C.  Hotz ;  attending  aural  surgeon,  Samuel  J.  Jones ;  microscop- 
ist,  Doctor  Isaac  N.  Danforth. 

Mr.  Davenport  continued  as  superintendent  and  his  wife  as  matron. 

Eight  years  later  we  find  the  following  officers  and  medical  board  in  charge 
of  the  institution : 

Trustees — Daniel  Goodwin,  Jr.,  president;  Perry  A.  Armstrong  of  Morris, 
secretary;  and  W.  H.  Fitch  of  Rockford.  W.  Irving  Culver  served  as  treas- 
urer. 

Surgeons  in  eye  department — Doctors  Edward  L.  Holmes,  Ferdinand  C. 
Hotz,  Lyman  Ware  and  W.  T.  Montgomery;  assistant  surgeons — Doctors 
Roswell  Park,  E.  J.  Gardiner,  A.  P.  Gilmore  and  H.  M.  Starkey. 

Surgeons  in  ear  department — Doctors  Frederick  C.  Schaefer  and  Robert 
Tilley;  assistant  surgeons — Doctors  S.  S.  Bishop  and  William  T.  Belfield. 

Microscopist  and  consulting  physician,  Dr.  Isaac  N.  Danforth. 

It  is  worthy  of  comment  that  in  1874,  at  the  opening  of  the  new  building  at 
South  Peoria  and  West  Adams  streets,  we  find  Dr.  Ferdinand  C.  Hotz  as  at- 
tending ophthalmic  surgeon  with  Dr.  Edward  L.  Holmes,  because,  next  to  Dr. 
Holmes,  Dr.  Hotz,  on  account  of  his  fine  preparation  in  Germany  as  an 
ophthalmic  surgeon,  brought  to  the  institution  a  spirit  of  research  and  tech- 
nical skill  which  is  the  basis  of  the  education  of  nearly  all  the  ophthalmol- 
ogists of  Chicago. 

In  the  sixteenth  bi-annual  report  for  the  year  1888,  we  find  the  following 
medical  staff: 

Senior  surgeon — Dr.  Edward  L.  Holmes. 

Surgeons  in  eye  department — Doctors  Ferdinand  C.  Hotz,  W.  T.  Mont- 
gomery, Lyman  Ware  and  Edwin  J.  Gardiner;  assistant  surgeons — Doctors 
A.  P.  Gilmore,  J.  E.  Colburn,  George  F.  Fiske,  Boerne  Bettman,  Charles  H. 
Beard,  George  E.  Brinckerhoff  and  Charles  E.  Walker. 

Surgeons  in  ear  department — Doctors  Seth  S.  Bishop  and  Ira  E.  Marshall; 
assistant  surgeons — Doctors  J.  J.  Anderson,  James  R.  Davey,  Cassius  D. 
Wescott  and  Charles  Davison. 

Dr.  Isaac  N.  Danforth  continued  as  microscopist  and  consulting  physician, 
and  Dr.  William  L.  Noble  had  assumed  the  position  of  house  surgeon.  Mr. 
Edgar  C.  Lawton  had  succeeded  Mr.  Davenport  as  superintendent  and  the 
matron  was  now  Mrs.  H.  R.  Wilson. 

From  this  date  (1888),  the  growth  of  the  institution  has  been  constant  and 
the  size  of  the  staff  of  physicians  has  gradually  increased.  The  men  serving 
as  surgeons  as  time  passed  would  gradually  retire  and  their  assistants  would 
take  their  places  and  repeat  the  cycle.  The  following  is  a  list  in  approximately 
chronological  order  of  those  who  have  served  the  institution  as  surgeons, 
either  in  the  eye  or  ear  departments : 

Doctors  Edward  L.  Holmes,  1858;  Edwin  Powell,  1858;  Ferdinand  C.  Hotz, 
1873;  Samuel  J.  Jones,  1873;  Lyman  Ware,  1879;  W.  T.  Montgomery,  1879; 
Roswell  Park,  1879;  Edwin  J.  Gardiner,  1879;  Frederick  C.  Schaefer,  1881; 
Robert  Tilley,  1881;  Seth  S.  Bishop,  1883;  Ira  E.  Marshall,  1887;  A.  P.  Gil-

Harry  W.  Woodruff,  1903 ;  Norval  H.  Pierce,  1903 ;  Henry  R.  Boettcher,  1903 ; 
Willis  O.  Nance,  1907;  W.  Allen  Barr,  1914;  Nils  E.  Remmen,  1914;  E.  Kirk

burg,  1921 ;  Mayer  H.  Lebensohn,  1921 ;  Alfred  J.  Lewy,  1921. 

Dr.  William  L.  Noble  is  now  the  chief  of  staff  of  the  infirmary  and  Dr.  Leo. 
Steiner  is  the.  managing  officer.  At  the  present  time  there  are  fifty-five  medi- 
cal men  in  all  departments  of  the  infirmary,  giving  their  time  freely  and  will- 
ingly in  the  service  of  the  unfortunate  poor  of  the  state  suffering  from  eye, 
ear,  nose  and  throat  diseases. 

There  is  scarcely  any  form  of  charity  whose  claims  c?tn  be  so  forcibly  urged 
on  the  grounds  of  humanity  and  economy  as  this.  It  relieves  physical  suffer- 
ing and  mental  distress,  by  the  cure  of  painful  diseases,  and  by  removing 
fears  of  threatened  blindness ;  it  restores  many  with  impaired  vision  to  sight 
and  to  their  daily  labors,  thereby  removing  one  cause  of  poverty ;  it  prevents 
ignorance  by  rescuing  small  children  from  partial  or  total  loss  of  sight,  thus 
enabling  them  to  acquire  the  rudiments  of  knowledge,  and  to  follow  in  after 
life  honorable  and  remunerative  occupations. 

On  the  grounds  of  economy  this  charity  claims  especial  consideration  so 
far  as  it  prevents  blindness,  so  far  as  it  lessens  taxation  by  reducing  the  num- 
ber of  the  poor  dependent  upon  public  aid  and  so  far  as  it  adds  to  the  pro- 
ductive labor  and  wealth  of  the  State.  It  would  be  difficult  to  point  to  another 
form  of  charity  by  which  so  much  good  could  be  accomplished  at  so  little  cost. 
The  following  is  a  list  of  dispensary  cases  treated  by  years,  from  January  1, 
1910  to  December  31,  1921:

ST.    LUKE'S   HOSPITAL 
1439  South  Michigan  Avenue 

ST.     L  U  K  E'  S     HOSPITAL 

By  Arthur  R.  Elliott,  M.  D. 

St.  Luke's  Hospital  was  organized  February  18,  1864,  and  was  shortly  there- 
after opened  for  the  reception  and  care  of  the  sick  poor.  From  that  date  to 
the  present,  its  history  presents  an  unbroken  record  of  continuous  service  to 
the  community.  Its  growth  represents  a  development  from  an  original  capac- 
ity of  seven  beds  to  its  present  total  of  400  beds. 

At  its  inception  St.  Luke's  Hospital  was  a  charitable  activity  of  Grace 
Church  parish,  the  initiative  which  led  to  its  organization  having  originated 
with  Rev.  Clinton  Locke,  the  Rector  of  Grace  Church.  The  Honorable 
Melville  W.  Fuller,  late  Chief  Justice  of  the  United  States  Supreme  Court, 
was  prominently  identified  with  the  enterprise,  having  formulated  the 
original  charter  and  articles  of  incorporation. 

The  original  hospital  was  started  in  a  small  frame  house  located  on  State 
Street  near  Eldridge  Court,  now  Eighth  Street,  providing  accommodations 
for  seven  patients.  Dr.  Walter  Hay  was  chief  physician  and  the  nursing 
staff  consisted  of  two  members.  The  meager  accommodations  available  in 
this  building  very  soon  became  inadequate,'  necessitating  removal  to  larger 
quarters.  A  large  brick  house  on  State  Street  near  Twelfth  Street,  now 
Roosevelt  Road,  was  rented.  This  provided  an  increase  in  capacity  to  a 
total  of  eighteen  beds. 

In  1865  Dr.  John  E.  Owens  was  given  control  of  the  medical  affairs  of 
the  hospital.  He  remained  an  active  member  of  the  medical  staff  from  that 
date  to  1912,  a  period  of  forty-seven  years'  continuous  service  as  attending 
surgeon.  Upon  his  retirement  from  active  service,  he  was  appointed  hon- 
orary president  of  the  medical  board  and  consulting  surgeon,  his  name  at 
this  date  still  heading  the  list  of  the  medical  board. 

The  first  printed  list  of  the  medical  board  appeared  in  1869.  It  included 
the  following  names  well  known  in  the  medical  traditions  of  Chicago: 

Dr.  John  E.  Owens,  Surgeon  in  Charge. 

Dr.  Mills  O.  Heydock,  Attending  Physician. 


HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO  253 

Dr.  J.  Adams  Allen,  Consulting  Physician. 
Dr.  Moses  Gunn,  Consulting  Surgeon. 
Dr.  Samuel  J.  Jones,  Attending  Oculist  and  Aurist. 
Dr.  Isaac  N.  Danforth,  Pathologist. 
Dr.  William  H.   Byford,  Consulting  Accoucher. 
Dr.  Walter  H.  Allport,  Surgeon  Dentist. 

It  was  these  distinguished  physicians  and  surgeons  that  early  gave  pres- 
tige to  St.  Luke's  Hospital  and  as  time  went  on  established  it  as  one  of  the 
great  hospitals  of  the  West. 

Growth  of  the  institution  soon  rendered  increased  accommodations  and 
facilities  necessary  and  in  1871  there  was  secured  and  occupied  a  large 
frame  building  on  Indiana  Avenue  covering  a  part  of  the  site  of  the  present 
hospital.  Capacity  was  increased  to  thirty-five  beds  by  this  move.  This 
wooden  structure  remained  the  home  of  the  institution  until  the  year  1882, 
when  funds  having  become  available  through  bequests  and  donations  in- 
spired by  the  excellent  work  of  the  hospital,  a  new  building  was  begun  on 
adjoining  property.  This  building,  which  furnished  accommodations  for 
sixty-five  patients,  was  opened  in  January,  1885.  It  is  still  in  use  today, 
constituting  the  oldest  of  the  structures  included  in  the  present  hospital. 

Development  now  became  more  rapid.  The  Training  School  for  Nurses 
was  established  in  1887.  Through  the  munificence  of  Mr.  Byron  Smith, 
Mr.  Samuel  Johnstone,  Mrs.  W.  G.  Hibbard,  Mr.  W.  H.  Getty,  Mrs. 
Frank  O.  Lowden  (nee  Miss  Florence  Pullman)  and  other  friends  of  the 
hospital,  construction  proceeded  apace  until  in  1891  the  total  capacity  of 
the  hospital  had  become  increased  to  152  beds.  The  generous  bequest  of 
Mrs.  Elizabeth  H.  Stickney  in  1897  provided  for  construction  of  the  Nurses' 
Training  School  building.  In  1908  Mr.  James  Henry  Smith  gave  to  the 
hospital  $500,000  for  the  erection  of  a  memorial  to  his  cousin,  George 
Smith.  With  this  generous  donation  was  erected  the  Smith  Memorial  wing, 
which  accommodates  127  patients.  This  building  is  devoted  to  the  care  of 
private  patients.  Such  profit  as  is  derived  from  this  character  of  service 
is  devoted  to  the  maintenance  of  the  service  wards  and  laboratories. 

The  latest  addition  to  the  hospital  is  the  Kirkwood  wing,  which  was 
opened  in  1916,  the  total  capacity  by  this  addition  being  raised  to  400 
patients. 

Among  auxiliary  activities  maintained  in  connection  with  charity  service 
are  observation  and  convalescent  clinics,  social  service  and  occupational 
therapy. 

The  Training  School  for  Nurses  registers  annually  about  200  students. 
The  attending  staff  comprises  sixty-four  members,  representing  the  various 
medical  specialties.  During  the  year  1921  there  were  9,539  patients  cared 
for  in  the  hospital. 

Plans  are  being  prepared  for  a  new  building  with  a  frontage  of  200  feet 
on  Indiana  Avenue  and  a  floor  area  (per  floor)  of  10,328  square  feet,  which, 
it  is  expected,  will  be  carried  up  nineteen  floors.  It  is  hoped  that  this 
structure  will  be  under  way  during  the  current  year. 

One  floor  will  be  devoted  to  operating  rooms  and  X-ray  laboratory,  an- 
other to  a  very  extensive  laboratory,  in  which  it  is  intended  to  include  every 
recognized  laboratory  method  of  diagnosis.  The  space  will  provide  accom- 
modations for  twenty-five  or  more  workers.  A  system  of  fellowships  is 


254 


HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO 


contemplated  for  the  advancement  of  investigative  work  which  will  be  an 
important  feature  of  this  laboratory. 

Especial  attention  will  be  given  to  providing  facilities  for  the  instruction 
of  both  undergraduate  and  post-graduate  students. 

Provision  will  be  made  for  the  accommodation  of  patients  above  the  open 
ward  class  who  are  unable  to  meet  the  high  cost  of  ordinary  private  rooms. 

The  ground  floor  will  be  occupied  by  offices,  social  service,  out-patient 
clinics,  and  other  departments.

PASSAVANT    MEMORIAL    HOSPITAL 

149    West    Superior    Street 


PASSAVANT     MEMORIAL 
HOSPITAL 

"Especially  for  the  sake  of  a  large  and  continuous  stream  of  immigrants 
passing  through  the  city,"  it  was.  proposed  by  the  late  Rev.  William  A. 
Passavant  at  the  annual  meeting  of  the  Institution  of  Protestant  Deacon- 
esses of  Allegheny  county,  Pennsylvania,  February  16,  1865  to  establish 
a  Protestant  hospital  in  Chicago.  Dr.  Passavant  had  founded  the  Pitts- 
burgh Infirmary,  said  to  be  the  first  Protestant  hospital  in  the  United  States. 

Dr.  Passavant  had  extensive  knowledge  of  the  needs  of  the  new  west. 
Chicago  itself  then  had  a  population  of  170,000  and  it  was  growing  rapidly. 
The  plight  of  the  hordes  of  immigrants  constantly  arriving  in  the  city, 
many  of  whom  were  sick  and  without  nursing  care,  especially  appealed  to 
Dr.  Passavant. 

Accordingly  the  Institution  adopted  Dr.  Passavant's  project  and  in  July, 
1865  the  hospital  was  established  in  a  frame  residence  in  Dearborn  Avenue 
near  Ontario  Street.  Its  equipment  was  primitive  and  the  capacity  limited 
to  fifteen  beds. 

In  1867,  through  the  efforts  of  Ezra  B.  McCagg  and  other  public  spirited 
citizens,  the  Deaconess  Hospital  was  incorporated  and  placed  upon  a  sub- 
stantial basis.  The  first  board  of  visitors  was  composed  of  the  following: 
William  B.  Ogden,  Ezra  B.  McCagg,  William  Bross.  Eliphalet  W.  Blatch- 


HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO  255 

ford,  J.  Young  Scammon,  Elbridge  G.  Hall,  Samuel  Hale,  Jonathan  Burr, 
Conrad  Furst,  William  Blair,  Francis  A.  Hoffman,  Van  H.  Higgins,  John 
V,  Farwell,  Edwin  H.  Sheldon,  Gilbert  Hubbard,  Iver  Lawson,  Erland 
Carlson  and  Thomas  B.  Bryan. 

Sometime  after  the  incorporation  of  the  hospital  a  friend  of  the  insti- 
tution offered  a  conditional  gift  of  a  plot  of  ground  250  by  500  feet  near 
Clark  Street  and  Lincoln  Park  and  means  for  the  erection  of  a  much  needed 
building  were  furnished  by  William  B.  Ogden,  who  subscribed  $30,000, 
and  a  legacy  of  $5,000  made  by  Jonathan  Burr. 

Just  as  the  prospects  for  enlarged  usefulness  seemed  particularly  bright 
the  great  fire .  of  1871  blotted  out  the  Deaconess  Hospital  utterly.  Dr. 
Passavant  visited  the  scene  of  desolation  and  sold  what  the  fire  had  left  for 
$8.50.  It  was  not  possible  to  retain  the  conditional  gift  as,  in  the  general 
calamity,  the  conditions  could  not  be  carried  out.  The  death  of  Mr.  Ogden 
delayed  the  payment  of  his  subscription  for  several  years  and  the  situation  in 
Chicago  after  the  fire  rendered  immediate  efforts  to  reorganize  the  institu- 
tion inexpedient. 

It  was  not  until  December,  1885  that  a  building  in  Superior  Street  was 
finished  and  dedicated  to  the  care  and  relief  of  the  suffering.  For  fourteen 
years  its  work  had  been  interrupted.  With  the  prospect  of  soon  erecting 
their  main  hospital  building  on  a  large  plot  of  ground  in  Lake  View  owned 
by  the  Institution  of  Protestant  Deaconesses,  the  name  of  Emergency  Hos- 
pital was  given  to  the  new  structure  in  Dearborn  Street.  It  was  to  be 
merely  a  branch  of  the  major  institution  and  was  designed  especially  for 
emergency  and  accident  cases.  When  plans  for  the  larger  project  failed, 
the  Emergency  Hospital  became  a  general  hospital  and  its  name  therefore 
was  not  only  inappropriate  and  misleading  but  an  actual  detriment  to  its 
work. 

On  June  3,  1894,  the  founder  of  the  hospital  died  and  shortly  afterward 
the  corporation  held  a  meeting  and  elected  Rev.  William  A.  Passavant,  Jr., 
to  the  position  of  director.  The  name  of  the  institution  was  changed  to  the 
Passavant  Memorial  Hospital. 

At  various  times  patients  were  turned  away  for  want  of  room  to  accom- 
modate them.  This  was  especially  the  case  of  those  who  desired  and  could 
pay  for  private  rooms.  As  the  hospital  depended  largely  upon  income 
from  this  source  to  meet  the  expense  of  its  charity  work,  more  room  was  a 
necessity.  This  was  secured  by  renting  two  adjoining  flat  buildings. 

In  1901  the  hospital  was  enlarged  to  its  present  size,  and  was  completely 
renovated.  In  1894  the  institution  cared  for  300  patients.  For  several 
years  thereafter  there  was  an  annual  increase  of  forty  per  cent.  The  num- 
ber of  patients  cared  for  annually  for  the  last  several  years  has  been  about 
2,700.

MARY   THOMPSON    HOSPITAL 
1712    West    Adams    Street 

MARY     THOMPSON     HOSPITAL 

The  Mary  Thompson  Hospital  for  Women  and  Children  began  its  exist- 
ence as  the  Chicago  Hospital  for  Women  and  Children  in  1865.  It  was  then 
located  at  49  Rush  Street  and  accommodated  fourteen  patients. 

The  institution  was  founded  by  Dr.  Mary  Harris  Thompson  for  the  care 
of  women  and  children  of  the  "respectable  poor"  and  was  chiefly  intended 
to  serve  the  needs  of  widows  and  orphans  of  civil  war  veterans. 

In  the  following  eight  years  the  hospital  had  seven  homes  in  buildings  at 
49  Rush  Street,  212  Ohio  Street,  402  North  State  Street,  598  West  Adams 
Street,  at  Throop  and  Harrison  Streets  (in  barracks  used  for  four  months 
following  the  Chicago  fire),  157  Center  Avenue  and  the  present  location, 
1712  West  Adams  Street.  The  predecessor  of  the  existing  structure  occu- 
pied the  last-named  site  for  several  years. 

The  building  now  employed  for  hospital  purposes  was  erected  in  1885  and 
accommodates  from  seventy-five  to  100  patients.  It  also  houses  a  large 
dispensary  department  caring  for  12,000  cases  annually.  A  nurses'  home, 
a  building  of  five  stories,  was  erected  some  years  later  under  the  auspices 
of  Dr.  Lucy  Waite. 

The  hospital  had  been  incorporated  under  the  name  of  the  Chicago  Hos- 
pital for  Women  and  Children,  but  when  Dr.  Mary  Thompson  died  in  1895 
its  name  was  changed  in  her  honor. 

The  institution  is  under  the  control  of  a  board  of  trustees  and  is  public, 
non-sectarian  and  open  to  all  but  contagious,  chronic  and  mental  cases, 
except  under  special  arrangements.  There  is  an  organized  staff  of  women 
physicians  and  surgeons,  but  the  hospital  is  open  to  the  patients  of  all  rep- 
utable physicians.  The  institution  is  largely  self-supporting,  but  has  some 
endowments;  trust  funds  having  been  left  by  William  Henry  Ryder,  Lila 
B.  McCready,  Carter  H.  Harrison,  the  Ryerson  Charity  Trust  and  Alexander 
McKay. 

During  the  first  year  there  were  203  patients,  of  whom  only  one  paid  in 
full  the  $5  weekly  charge.  In  1921  the  hospital  cared  for  1,669  pay  patients

and  for  109  charity  cases  besides  giving  treatment  and  accommodations  at 
half  cost  to  many  others.     In  the  dispensary  12,440  patients  were  cared  for. 

*EARLY     HISTORY     OF    THE     COOK     COUNTY 
HOSPITAL    TO     1870 

By  William  E.  Quine,  M.D.,  Chicago 

Cook  County  came  into  existence  as  a  subdivision  of  the  state  in  January, 
1831,  and  it  began  to  take  care  of  its  sick  poor  twenty  years  later.  This 
was  done  in  the  Mercy  Hospital  from  January  1,  1851,  until  August  8,  1863, 
at  a  cost  to  the  county  of  $3  a  week  for  each  patient. 

In  August,  1863,  the  county  transported  its  people  from  the  Mercy  Hos- 
pital to  Jefferson,  and  cared  for  them,  together  with  later  arrivals,  in  a 
building  of  its  own  and  under  its  own  administration,  until  January  15, 
1866.  Dr.  D.  B.  Fonda  was*  in  charge. 

That  was  the  first  "Cook  County  Hospital." 

The  institution,  formerly  located  on  Arnold  Street  (now  Wentworth 
Avenue)  near  Eighteenth  Street,  and  referred  to  in  local  annals  as  the  "Old 
County  Hospital,"  was  established  by  the  city,  and  for  several  years  was 
known  as  the  "City  Hospital." 

The  first  City  Hospital  was  a  temporary  frame  structure,  a  story  and  a 
half  high,  built  in  1854-55,  under  the  supervision  of  Health  Officer  Brockholst 
McVickar,  for  the  isolation  and  care  of  cholera  patients.  It  was  demolished 
in  1856,  and  a  substantial  brick  building  with  a  stone  basement  was  erected 
on  the  same  lot  at  a  cost  of  $75,000.  This  is  the  building  referred  to  through- 
out the  following  pages.  The  cornerstone  was  laid  in  June,  1856,  and  the 
building  was  completed  in  November,  1857;  but  owing  to  a  conflict  between 
the  homeopathic  and  the  regular  division  of  the  medical  profession,  which 
spread  through  the  community,  the  building  was  not  occupied  until  1859. 

In  order  to  comprehend  the  power  of  homeopathy  at  that  time,  it  is  neces- 
sary to  remember  that  then  40  per  cent  of  all  the  homeopathic  physicians  in 
the  world  were  located  in  Cook  County,  Illinois.  And  some  of  them  were 
men  of  might. 

There  was  now  a  deadlock  and  it  had  to  be  broken.    It  was  broken. 

In  August,  1859,  a  number  of  physicians  and  surgeons  leased  the  hospital 
for  five  years  in  connection  with  a  contract  binding  them  to  take  care  of 
the  city  patients  for  a  uniform  fee  of  $3  per  week.  Under  this  contract  the 
institution  was  opened  August  13,  1859,  by  the  lessees: 

Surgeons — Daniel  Brainard,  George  Schloetzer,  George  K.  Amerman. 

Physicians — De  Laskie  Miller,  Joseph  P.  Ross,  Samuel  C.  Blake. 

There  was  also  a  board  of  governors  of  nine  members,  representing  the 
city,  who  exercised  general  supervision  over  the  care  of  the  patients. 

Clinical  instruction  was  given  in  the  hospital  to  the  students  of  the  Rush 
Medical  College  during  the  winter  of  1859  and  1860. 

Remember,  in  this  connection,  that  the  Chicago  Medical  College  also  gave 
its  first  course  of  instruction  in  the  winter  of  1859-60,  and  that  its  founders, 
Nathan  S.  Davis,  Hosmer  A.  Johnson,  Edmund  Andrews,  William  H.  Byford 
and  John  H.  Hollister,  had  recently  withdrawn  from  the  faculty  of  the  Rush 
Medical  College  and  had  taken  the  Mercy  Hospital  with  them,  which  was  the 
only  hospital  connection  the  Rush  Medical  College  then  had. 

The  capture  of  the  City  Hospital  was  the  counter-move  of  Rush  College.

HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO 


HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO  259 

In  the  year  1862  the  attending  staff  consisted  of  George  K.  Amerman, 
Joseph  P.  Ross,  Joseph  W.  Freer  and  Robert  L.  Rea. 

At  this  time  the  Civil  War  was  in  progress  and  the  United  States  Govern- 
ment confiscated  the  property  for  the  use  of  the  army,  and  thus  put  an  end 
to  the  lease.  It  was  opened  as  an  army  hospital  October  29,  1862;  its 
designation  was  changed  to  "Desmarres  General  Hospital,"  August  23, 
1864,  and  it  was  closed  by  the  government  November  12,  1865. 

When  it  was  confiscated  it  was  put  under  the  jurisdiction  of  Surgeon 
Brockholst  McVickar,  sometime  Health  Officer  of  Chicago,  and  associated 
with  him  were  Acting  Assistant  Surgeons  Joseph  P.  Ross  and  George  K. 
Amerman. 

McVickar  was  succeeded  by  Surgeon  Hall,  and  he  by  Surgeon  S.  A.  Jackson. 

On  August  23,  1864,  Surgeon  Joseph  S.  Hildreth  was  put  in  charge,  and 
Acting  Assistant  Surgeons  M.  K.  Gleason  and  J.  H.  Goss  were  associated 
with  him. 

Although  the  hospital  appears  in  the  government  records  as  the  "Des- 
marres General  Hospital,"  during  the  period  of  Hildreth's  administration 
it  was  known  in  Chicago  as  the  "Desmarres  Eye  and  Ear  Hospital ;"  and 
it  was  occupied  exclusively  by  eye  and  ear  army  patients. 

Hildreth  was  not  an  army  man,  but  he  was  the  son-in-law  of  an  United 
States  Senator.  He  had  recently  returned  from  Paris,  France,  where  he  had 
been  studying  diseases  of  the  eye  and  ear  under  Desmarres  and  had  settled 
in  Detroit ;  and  by  virtue  of  powerful  family  connections  he  was  put  in 
charge  of  this  army  hospital. 

Even  before  the  hospital  had  been  vacated  by  the  government,  Amerman 
and  Ross  were  busily  engaged  in  a  movement  to  reestablish  it  as  a  charitable 
institution ;  and  to  this  end  Amerman  had  had  himself  elected  a  member 
of  the  Cook  County  Board  of  Supervisors. 

One  of  the  humors  of  the  campaign  which  led  to  his  election  is  chronicled 
by  the  newspapers  of  that  period  as  follows :  A  figure  of  Mercury,  of  heroic 
size,  surmounted  the  dome  of  the  old  courthouse,  and  as  usual  with  such 
figures  it  held  aloft  in  its  right  hand  the  caduceus  or  winged  staff  which 
indicates  that  the  bearer  is  the  official  messenger  of  the  gods.  Amerman 
had  hired  somebody  to  fasten  a  big  banner  to  that  staff  and  the  banner  bore 
a  message  to  the  people  of  Cook  County,  which  had  the  appearance  of  a 
command,  sizzling  fierce  and  straight  from  the  skies,  to  "Vote  for  Amer- 
man!" And  the  people  did. 

After  the  election  he  seems  to  have  had  no  difficulty  in  prevailing  on  the 
board  to  lease  the  premises  from  the  city  and  to  maintain  them  as  a  county 
benevolence. 

The  proceedings  were  as  follows :  The  city  owned  the  hospital  property 
and  the  county  owned  the  reform  school  property,  a  tract  of  160  acres 
located  south  of  the  city  limits  and  extending  from  Fortieth  to  Forty-third 
Street  in  one  direction  and  from  Ellis  Avenue  to  Lake  Michigan  in  the 
other.  The  agreement  was  that  the  county  should  have  the  use  of  the 
hospital  property  in  exchange  for  the  use  by  the  city  of  the  reform  school 
property ;  but  there  was  no  exchange  of  titles. 

The  trade  was  consummated,  and  it  was  considered  quite  fair  at  the 
time,  but  a  wonderful  change  in  values  has  occurred  since.  Now  the  reform 
school  property,  half  a  mile  square,  is  covered  by  residential  and  commer- 
cial palaces  and  the  hospital  block  is  covered  by  a  soap  factory. 


260  HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO 

The  triumph  of  the  brilliant  and  persistent  Amerman  did  not  last  long, 
for  he  was  stricken  with  tuberculosis  and  compelled  to  retire. 

But  Ross  was  there !  Without  delay  he  secured  his  own  election  as  a 
member  of  the  Board  of  Supervisors,  and  soon  after  as  chairman  of  the 
hospital  committee  of  the  board ;  and  held  that  position  two  years — from 
1866  to  1868 — which  was  long  enough  for  his  purpose. 

One  of  the  conditions  on  which  the  board  consented  to  assume  the  admin- 
istration of  the  hospital  was  that  the  cost  of  maintenance  should  not  exceed 
$10,000  for  the  year,  a  condition  that  was  accepted  with  delightful  alacrity 
by  Amerman  and  Ross ;  but,  nevertheless,  the  cost  of  maintenance  for  the 
second  year  was  $20,000,  and  for  the  third  year  $23,000,  and  for  the  fourth 
year  $30,000,  and  doubtless  it  has  kept  on  increasing  ever  since  pari  passu 
with  the  increase  in  the  number  of  inmates  and  employes  and  the  increase  in 
the  cost  of  living. 

Following  the  evacuation  of  the  hospital  by  the  government,  Amerman 
and  Ross,  acting  on  the  authority  of  the  Board  of  Supervisors,  proceeded  to 
put  the  place  in  order  for  occupancy  by  the  county's  wards.  At  the  same 
time  they  were  busily  engaged  in  organizing  medical  and  administrative 
boards  of  control. 

Accordingly  on  January  1,  1866,  Mr.  B.  F.  Chase,  who  had  been  warden 
of  the  hospital  at  Jefferson,  was  transferred  to  the  new  institution,  and  Mrs. 
Chase  was  duly  installed  as  matron ;  and  on  the  twelfth  of  the  same  month 
Nils  T.  Quales  of  Rush  Medical  College,  having  triumphed  in  a  competitive 
examination  for  the  position,  began  his  career  as  the  first  intern. 

At  this  time  there  was  only  one  patient  in  the  hospital,  a  German  girl, 
with  a  palmar  abscess ;  but  a  few  days  later  the  county's  charges  were 
transferred  from  Jefferson  to  their  new  home,  and  the  history  of  the  Cook 
County  Hospital  was  begun. 

George  K.  Amerman  and  Joseph  P.  Ross  were  its  parents,  and  the  date  of 
its  birth  was  January  1,  1866. 

DESCRIPTION 

The  "Old  County  Hospital"  was  nominally  located  on  the  southwest  cor- 
ner of  Eighteenth  and  Arnold  Streets,  but  actually  the  hospital  lot  extended 
from  Eighteenth  Street  to  Nineteenth  Street,  and  the  building  was  placed 
a  little  to  the  north  of  the  middle  line,  leaving  a  lawn  of  modest  proportions 
at  either  end. 

The  building  faced  east,  had  a  frontage  of  133  feet  and  a  depth  varying 
from  55  to  60  feet,  and  was  three  stories  and  basement  high.  The  basement 
was  constructed  of  rock-faced  Lemont  limestone,  the  superstructure  of  red 
brick  with  limestone  trimmings,  and  the  roof  was  tinned  and  painted  red. 

Considering  the  time,  the  "Old  County  Hospital"  was  a  distinctly  impos- 
ing structure. 

It  was  heated  with  steam,  well  lighted  and  ventilated,  abundantly  fur- 
nished, well  supplied  with  modern  conveniences,  and  delightfully  whole- 
some from  every  point  of  view.  Some  years  later  it  became  infested  with 
rats  and  roaches  through  lack  of  competent  management,  and  the  process 
of  deterioration  thus  begun  was  allowed  to  continue.  It  was  always  liber- 
ally supported  by  the  county. 

In  1869  and  1870  the  sewerage  system  was  thoroughly  renovated  follow- 
ing the  discovery  of  a  break  in  the  main  conduit  and  the  escape  of  tons  of 
human  excrement  under  the  basement  floor. 


HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO  261 

The  heating  plant  was  in  the  rear  of  the  lot  and  the  morgue  stood  between 
that  building  and  the  Eighteenth  Street  line. 

The  capacity  of  the  hospital  was  130  beds,  but  during  the  period  of  occu- 
pancy by  the  government  it  contained  160  beds,  for  then  the  clinical  amphi- 
theater was  used  as  a  ward. 

The  building  soon  came  to  be  overcrowded  and  in  consequence  of  increas- 
ing pressure  a  three-story  frame  wing  was  connected  with  the  south  "end 
of  it  in  1870  at  a  cost  of  $7,250.  This  wing  contained  three  new  wards  and 
increased  the  capacity  to  220  beds. 

From  January  1,  1866,  to  January  1,  1871,  the  admission  averaged  1,400  or 
1,500  annually  and  the  deaths  about  120. 

ORGANIZATION 

The  first  Medical  Board  was  organized  as  follows : 

Physicians — Joseph  P.  Ross,  Henry  M.  Lyman,  Thomas  Bevan. 

Consultants — Hosmer  A.  Johnson,  Robert  C.  Hamill. 

Surgeons — George  K.  Amerman,  Roswell  G.  Bogue,  Charles  G.  Smith. 

Consultants — Joseph  W.  Freer,  William  Wagner. 

Gynecologist  and  Obstetrician — H.  W.  Jones. 

Consultant — William  H.  Byford. 

Oculist  and  Aurist — Joseph  S.  Hildreth. 

Pathologist — Henry  M.  Lyman. 

The  basis  of  organization  was  equality  of  representation  on  the  part  of 
the  two  regular  medical  colleges  then  in  Chicago,  the  Rush  Medical  College 
and  the  Chicago  Medical  College,  and  a  sufficient  number  of  non-college 
men  to  constitute  a  majority  of  the  entire  number.  Thus  it  will  be  noticed 
in  the  presentment  just  made  that  there  are  three  Rush  Medical  College  men, 
three  Chicago  Medical  College  men  and  seven  representing  the  profession 
at  large.  But,  unhappily,  this  agreement  was  short-lived.  The  shrewd 
and  forceful  Amerman,  a  non-college  man,  died  in  1867,  and  Edwin  Powell 
applied  for  the  vacancy ;  but  Powell  was  ineligible,  because  he  was  a  pro- 
fessor in  the  Rush  Medical  College.  He  thereupon  resigned  from  the  col- 
lege, was  elected  attending  surgeon  to  the  Cook  County  Hospital,  vice 
Amerman,  deceased,  and  a  few  days  later  was  reelected  to  his  old  chair  in 
the  college. 

This  act  led  at  once  to  discord.  It  was  a  declaration  of  war  between  the 
colleges.  The  discord  continued  with  increasing  bitterness  until  it  even- 
tuated some  years  later  in  the  dismissal  of  the  entire  board  and  the  appoint- 
ment of  a  new  board  by  the  county  commissioners,  who  had  superseded  the 
old  Board  of  Supervisors  in  the  year  1871. 

Changes  in  the  organization  were  frequent  in  the  first  few  years  owing 
to  deaths,  resignations  and  changes  in  the  division  of  labor;  so  that  in  1869 
the  following  array  of  attendants  and  consultants  was  presented : 

Physicians — Joseph  P.  Ross,  Henry  M.  Lyman,  Thomas  Bevan,  Hosmer 
A.  Johnson. 

Consultants — Robert  C.  Hamill,  William  G.  Dyas. 

Surgeons — Roswell  G.  Bogue,  Edwin  Powell,  Joseph  W.  Freer. 

Consultant — J.  R.  Gore. 

Venereal  and  Cutaneous — Charles  G.  Smith. 

Gynecology  and  Obstetrics — Thomas  D.  Fitch. 

Consultant — William  H.  Byford. 

Eye  and  Ear  Diseases — Ferdinand  C.  Hotz. 


262  HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO 

During  the  summer  of  1870,  Dr.  William  E.  Quine,  then  recently  gradu- 
ated from  the  hospital  as  an  intern,  was  elected  attending  gynecologist  and 
obstetrician  to  divide  service  with  Dr.  Fitch. 

The  medical  board  at  this  time  was  a  self-governing  and  a  self-perpetuat- 
ing body  and  it  was  considered  by  professional  people  a  high  honor  to  be 
connected  with  it.  The  basis  of  organization  was  acceptable  to  everybody 
and  fair  to  every  interest,  but  the  act  of  Dr.  Powell  led  to  its  destruction. 
To  that  act  may  be  traced  responsibility  for  the  transformation  of  a  noble 
institution  nobly  administered  into  the  toy  of  politicians  and  the  scandal 
of  the  medical  profession. 

THE  INTERNS 

Quales  was  the  first  and  for  three  months  he  was  alone,  except  that  he 
had  the  assistance  of  a  pharmacist,  William  Baker,  who  served  the  hospital 
in  that  capacity  a  year.  Quales'  service  began  January,  1866,  and  ended 
February,  1867. 

James  M.  Hutchinson  began  service  three  months  later  and  Edward  S. 
Twining  three  months  later  still ;  and  when  Quales  was  graduated  Curtis  T. 
Fenn  became  a  member  of  the  staff. 

During  this  formative  period  there  were  some  irregularities  in  respect  to 
the  length  of  service,  but  it  may  be  said  in  general  terms  that  the  first  four 
interns  served  about  a  year. 

D.  S.  Root,  who  began  April  1867,  and  was  graduated  October,  1868.  was 
the  first  to  serve  eighteen  months. 

When  organization  was  perfected  and  a  regular  order  of  succession  estab- 
lished the  house  staff  consisted  of  three  members,  known  as  the  junior 
assistant,  senior  assistant  and  the  house  physician  and  surgeon,  and  each 
member  held  each  of  these  ranks  and  performed  the  duties  appertaining  to 
each  for  a  period  of  six  months.  At  this  time  the  pharmacist  was  dismissed. 

The  junior  assistant  accompanied  the  head  of  the  staff  on  his  rounds,  wrote 
histories  and  prescriptions  on  dictation,  compounded  the  prescriptions,  made 
out  requisitions  for  supplies,  and  conducted  such  primitive  laboratory  ex- 
aminations as  were  then  in  vogue. 

The  senior  assistant  was  the  surgical  dresser  and  the  first  assistant  at 
surgical  operations.  He  also  conducted  post-mortem  examinations,  assisted 
the  eye  and  ear  surgeon,  and  kept  the  records  of  his  work. 

The  house  physician  and  surgeon  was  in  supreme  command  in  the  wards, 
and  when  it  became  necessary  in  any  case,  medical  or  surgical,  to  assume 
responsibility  for  acts  not  included  in  the  orders  of  the  attendants  this  was 
always  done  by  the  head  of  the  staff.  He  was  in  no  way  under  the  authority 
of  the  warden.  He  assumed  charge  of  emergency  surgical  cases  and  of  all 
obstetrical  cases,  made  the  round  of  visits  in  the  morning  and  evening, 
superintended  the  writing  of  histories  and  prescriptions,  ordered  the  dis- 
cipline of  the  wards,  even  to  the  extent  of  expelling  disorderly  patients,  and 
supervised  the  preparation  of  monthly  reports  for  the  medical  board. 

The  relations  between  the  interns  and  the  warden  were  of  the  most 
friendly  character  and  nothing*  approximating  a  clash  of  authority  ever 
came  to  my  knowledge. 

In  April,  1868,  the  house  staff  consisted  of  Root,  Senn  and  Miller.  Root 
was  graduated  in  October,  1868,  and  Quine  then  began  his  career.  Senn 
was  graduated  in  April,  1869,  and  Dyas  entered  the  staff.  Miller  was  gradu- 


HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO  263 

ated  October,   1869,  leaving  Quine  at  the  head,  Dyas,  senior  assistant,  and 
J.  W.  Tope,  the  new  arrival,  junior  assistant. 

Soon  after  this  arrangement  began,  Dyas  received  a  dreadful  infection  in 
the  dead  house  which  not  only  put  an  end  to  his  hospital  career  but  almost 
ended  his  life.  In  this  emergency  Dr.  William  Fox  was  appointed,  without 
examination,  to  fill  the  unexpired  term. 

Quine  was  graduated  April,  1870,  and  was  followed  by  Tope. 

The  three  interns  occupied  the  same  room,  which  was  centrally  located 
on  the  second  floor,  and  commodious  and  comfortable  in  every  way. 

It  contained  three  beds  arranged  end  to  end  along  the  side  wall,  and  there 
never  was  a  moment's  doubt  as  to  which  bed  belonged  to  the  head  of  the 
family  and  which  belonged  to  the  tail. 

Interns  were  allowed  very  few  privileges  by  the  attending  surgeons,  and 
every  act  of  theirs  outside  of  orders  was  sure  to  be  sharply  scrutinized. 
The  surgeons  were  jealous  of  their  prerogatives  no  less  than  of  their  repu- 
tations. 

But  there  were  no  telephones  in  those  days,  and  the  hospital  had  no 
messenger  service ;  hence  emergency  surgical  and  obstetrical  work  frequently 
fell  on  the  interns ;  but  in  every  instance  the  facts  had  to  be  explained  as 
promptly  as  possible  to  the  attendant  in  charge.  Indeed,  the  interns,  with 
rare  exceptions,  aimed  to  keep  faith  with  their  superiors  in  these  matters, 
and  consequently  they  were  rarely  subjects  of  criticism. 

To  a  limited  extent  the  members  of  the  staff  availed  themselves  of  the 
privilege  of  engaging  in  outside  practice,  and  two  or  three  of  them  are  known 
to  have  accumulated  several  hundred  dollars  in  this  way. 

Similarly,  for  a  year  or  two  the  head  of  the  staff  was  allowed  to  show 
obstetrical  cases  to  undergraduates  for  pay,  but  this  practice  was  never 
heartily  approved,  either  by  the  attendants  or  by  the  interns  themselves, 
and  it  soon  ceased. 

EQUIPMENT 

The  hospital  had  no  equipment  in  those  days  except  an  abundant  store  of 
medicine  and  of  test  tubes  and  an  adequate  supply  of  adhesive  plaster  and 
of  material  for  bandages,  splints  and  sutures. 

There  was  no  microscopic  and  no  clinical  laboratory  apart  from  the  drug 
room.  Laboratory  diagnosis  was  unknown  except  such  proceedings  as 
were  connected  with  chemical  examination  of  urine. 

Bacteriology  and  hematology  were  undeveloped  and  radiography  was 
hidden  in  the  future  by  a  wall  twenty-five  years  thick.  Asepsis  was  un- 
known. Interns  in  touch,  with  erysipelas  and  gangrene,  or  engaged  in  post- 
mortem work,  were  assumed  to  have  no  connection  with  obstetrical  cases, 
but  there  was  no  stern  rule  against  it,  and  they  thought  no  ill  of  maintain- 
ing friendly  relations  with  laudable  pus. 

Puerperal  infections  were  frightfully  frequent  and  deadly  and  the  obstetric 
ward  was  closed  on  two  or  three  occasions  for  several  weeks  at  a  time  on 
account  of  them.  During  these  intervals  the  windows  were  kept  wide  open, 
night  and  day ;  atomizers  were  kept  busy  sputtering  weak  antiseptic  vapors 
into  the  atmosphere ;  walls  and  ceilings  were  freshly  whitewashed ;  and  all 
woodwork  was  scrubbed  with  antiseptic  solutions,  but  the  old  deadly  ignor- 
ance of  personal  transmission  of  infection  continued. 

DOMESTIC  SERVICE 
The  first  warden,  Mr.  Benjamin  F.  Chase,  served  three  years — 1866-7-8.

He  was  followed  by  Heber  S.  Rexford  of  Blue  Island,  who  occupied  the 
position  two  years — 1869-70 — and  then  became  county  treasurer. 

Mr.  George  W.  Reynolds  of  Evanston  succeeded  Mr.  Rexford.  Under 
his  administration  the  hospital  had  a  pharmacist  again,  Mr.  DeWorthen, 
who  was  appointed  without  need  or  desire  on  the  part  of  either  the  medical 
board  or  the  house  staff. 

The  domestic  service  of  the  hospital  was  exemplary  in  every  particular. 
The  standards  of  character  and  of  duty  were  high  and  the  discipline  was 
excellent  in  every  department.  Political  favorites  occasionally  received 
positions  under  pressure,  but  their  tenure  was  always  shortlived. 

The  general  atmosphere  was  such  as  surrounds  a  happy  family.  If  there 
was  any  "graft"  in  connection  with  the  administration  during  this  period  it 
was  unsuspected  by  the  house  staff.

COOK    COUNTY    PSYCHOPATHIC    HOSPITAL 
West   Polk  and   South   Wood   Streets 

HISTORY  OF  THE  COOK  COUNTY 
HOSPITAL-  FROM  1876  TO  THE 
PRESENT  TIME 

By  Frank  Billings,  M.  D. 

Eighteen  hundred  and  seventy-six,  the  Centenary  of  the  United  States  of 
America,  witnessed  the  completion  of  the  two  central  pavilions,  the  boiler 
house  with  the  laundry,  the  kitchen  and  the  mortuary  of  a  new  county  hospital 
upon  its  present  site.  On  October  6,  1876,  the  patients  were  removed  from 
the  first  Cook  County  Hospital  located  on  Arnold  Street  (now  Wentworth 
Avenue)  near  Eighteenth  Street,  to  the  new  hospital. 

The  clinical  amphitheatre  and  connecting  corridors  were  completed  in  1877. 
The  administration  buildings  and  two  additional  pavilions  were  erected  in 
1883-4.  The  operating  and  receiving  building  was  completed  in  1897.  The 
children's  and  contagious  pavilion  was  built  in  1903  and  the  building  for  the 
treatment  of  advanced  tuberculosis  patients  was  constructed  in  1908  and 
occupied  in  1909.  Thus  more  than  twenty  years  elapsed  between  the  occupa- 
tion of  the  first  buildings  and  the  final  completion  of  all  of  the  structures 


HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO  265 

which  were  considered  necessary  for  the  adequate  treatment  of  the  indigent 
patients  of  the  county.  The  total  number  of  beds  available  in  the  completed 
hospital  was  2000. 

During  this  period  of  time  the  first  buildings  constructed  became  unsuited 
for  the  efficient  care  of  patients  under  the  requirements  of  modern  medicine 
and  surgery.  Therefore,  it  became  necessary  to  consider  the  need  of  the 
erection  of  new  hospital  buildings  to  take  the  place  of  some  of  the  antiquated 
pavilions.  Plans  were  drawn  and  approved  by  the  Board  of  County  Com- 
missioners and  on  September  11,  1912,  contracts  for  the  construction  of  the 
present  pavilions  A  and  B  and  the  Administration  Building  were  awarded 
and  construction  work  was  begun  very  shortly  thereafter.  The  total  cost 
of  these  buildings  was  $2,566,000.  Contracts  for  pavilions  C  and  D  were 
awarded  January  10,  1916,  and  they  were  erected  at  a  cost  of  $609,644,  making 
the  total  cost  of  the  new  buildings  $3,175,644.  The  mortuary,  the  pavilion 
for  the  treatment  of  children  with  communicable  diseases  and  the  con- 
sumptive hospital  are  older  structures,  but  sufficiently  modern,  so  that  the 
completed  plant  provides  facilities  corresponding  to  the  demands  of  modern 
medicine  and  surgery  in  the  treatment  of  disease  and  injury,  and  also  affords 
facilities  for  research  and  teaching. 

The  Cook  County  Psychopathic  Hospital,  established  in  1914,  is  located 
at  Wood  and  Polk  Streets  and  contains  175  beds.  To  this  hospital  suspected 
insane  patients  are  admitted  for  study  and  for  legal  commitment  and  also 
for  the  immediate  treatment  and  prospective  cure  of  a  certain  class  of 
psychoses.  The  total  number  of  available  beds  in  the  Cook  County  Hos- 
pital, including  the  Psychopathic  Department,  is  2700. 

ADMINISTRATION 

Under  the  jurisdiction  of  the  Board  of  Commissioners  of  Cook  "County, 
for  many  years  the  hospital  management  was  dominated  by  political  methods. 
It  mattered  not  whether  the  majority  of  the  board  of  commissioners  during 
a  period  was  Republican  or  Democratic.  Political  activities  often  detri- 
mental to  the  best  interests  of  the  public  were  manifested  by  favoritism  in 
the  appointment  of  members  of  the  attending  staff,  at  one  time  by  an  actual 
graft  in  the  sale  of  positions  on  the  staff  to  ambitious  doctors  by  members 
of  the  board  of  commissioners,  by  interference  with  the  teaching  of  medical 
students  in  the  wards,  and  at  one  period  by  an  attempt  to  interfere  with  the 
methods  of  surgical  treatment  and  of  research  which  was  carried  on  with  the 
unanimous  approval  of  the  staff. 

The  first  warden  of  the  new  hospital  was  Hugh  McLaughlin,  who  served 
from  December  18,  1876,  to  the  end  of  1878.  Daniel  W.  Mills  was  warden 
from  1879  to  the  end  of  1881,  Joseph  Dixon  during  1882-3,  and  William  J. 
McGarigle  from  1884  to  July  5,  1887.  It  was  during  the  regime  of  these 
three  men  that  the  greatest  political  activities  of  the  board  occurred,  and 
particularly  during  the  wardenship  of  McGarigle.  Some  members  of  the 
board  of  commissioners  in  that  period  of  time  used  their  positions  to 
financially  advance  themselves  in  the  ways  mentioned  above  and  some 
politicians  growing  bold  formed  a  ring  to  graft  upon  the  county  in  every 
possible  way.  As  a  result  their  peculations  were  finally  discovered  and  the 
warden,  William  J.  McGarigle,  some  of  the  county  commissioners,  the  chief 
engineer  of  the  hospital  and  others,  were  tried,  found  guilty  and  fined  or 
imprisoned  or  both. 

During  the  erection  of  the  Administration  Building  and  pavilions  A  and  B 


266  HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO 

of  the  present  new  hospital,  charges  of  excessive  financial  graft  were  made 
against  the  then  president  of  the  board,  and  other  members  of  the  board,  but 
no  legal  action  was  ever  taken  to  substantiate  the  charges  made. 

During  the  period  1901  to  1911  inclusive,  the  administration  of  the  County 
Hospital  by  the  Board  of  County  Commissioners  was  characterized  by 
broadminded  policies  and  improved  service  to  the  sick  poor  of  the  county. 
Then  followed  another  period  of  mismanagement  with  the  usual  reaction  to  a 
better  administration  from  1913  to  the  present  time.  The  present  administra- 
tion of  the  Cook  County  Hospital,  under  the  standards  set  by  the  late  Peter 
Reinberg  as  president  of  the  board  and  by  Warden  Michael  Zimmer,  is  of 
high  order  and  is  approved  by  the  best  citizens  of  the  county  who  are  con- 
versant with  the  conditions  at  the  hospital. 

THE  ATTENDING  STAFF 

In  1877-8,  an  agreement  was  made  between  the  Chicago  Medical  College 
(now  Northwestern  University  Medical  School),  Rush  Medical  College  and 
members  of  the  medical  profession  not  engaged  in  teaching  on  the  one  side, 
and  the  Board  of  County  Commissioners  on  the  other,  whereby  the  attending 
staff  was  organized  by  the  nomination  of  one-third  of  the  staff  by  each  of  the 
two  colleges  and  one-third  by  the  outside  profession  and  elected  by  the  Board 
of  County  Commissioners.  In  the  event  that  a  physician  or  surgeon  nomi- 
nated by  one  of  the  colleges  or  by  the  outside  medical  profession  was  objected 
to  by  the  board,  it  was  incumbent  upon  the  college  or  the  group  of  outside 
members  of  the  profession  to  make  another  nomination. 

This  plan  proved  very  satisfactory,  inasmuch  as  the  character  of  the 
attending  staff  of  the  hospital  was  generally  good  and  was  representative  of 
some  of  the  best  physicians  and  surgeons  of  Chicago  of  that  day.  Among 
the  members  of  the  staff  at  this  period  of  time  were  such  well  known  sur- 
geons as  Edmund  Andrews,  Moses  Gunn,  Charles  T.  Parkes,  Christian 
Fenger,  D.  A.  K.  Steele,  Ralph  N.  Isham,  Edward  W.  Lee,  John  H.  Hollister, 
William  E.  Quine,  Lester  Curtis,  Norman  Bridge,  Joseph  P.  Ross,  Isaac  N. 
Danforth,  all  of  whom  were  representative  of  the  best  in  medicine  of  the  day 
as  practitioners  and  teachers.  The  attending  staff  so  constituted  continued 
until  the  summer  of  1882.  At  this  time,  the  political  activities  of  the  Board 
of  County  Commissioners  were  manifested  by  an  attempt  to  direct  and  in 
some  events  to  embarrass  the  professional  work  at  the  hospital.  Dr. 
Edward  W.  Lee  was  at  this  time  making  some  experiments  on  skin  grafting 
to  hasten  the  recovery  of  patients  who  suffered  from  large  superficial  skin 
defects.  These  experiments  included  the  attempt  to  graft  the  skin  of  a 
chicken  upon  a  human  being  and  also  the  skin  of  a  lamb  upon  a  patient. 
These  attempts,  which  were  unattended  with  any  cruelty  to  either  fowl, 
beast  or  man,  were  finally  interfered  with  by  the  hospital  committee  of  the 
board  by  the  suspension  of  Dr.  Lee  from  the  staff.  This  was  followed  by 
an  indignant  protest  from  the  remainder  of  the  staff  and  the  demand  for  the 
reinstatement  of  Dr.  Lee;  this  being  refused,  the  whole  staff  resigned. 

From  this  time  on  there  were  no  further  recognized  representatives  of  the 
colleges  on  the  staff.  From  that  date  members  of  the  Board  of  County 
Commissioners  appointed  the  attending  staff  without,  as  a  rule,  due  con- 
sideration for  the  professional  qualifications  of  the  appointees.  Further- 
more, the  number  of  the  staff  was  doubled  at  this  date.  However,  there 
remained  upon  the  staff  splendidly  qualified  members  of  the  medical  pro- 
fession, both  in  surgery  and  medicine  and  in  the  specialties. 


HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO  267 

Politics  continued  to  play  an  important  part  in  the  appointment  of  mem- 
bers of  the  staff  and,  inasmuch  as  there  was  not  a  sufficient  number  of  places 
on  the  active  staff,  the  county  board  established  a  consulting  staff  without 
limit  in  number,  to  which  were  appointed  members  of  the  medical  profession 
who  desired  an  official  relationship  to  the  hospital  without  the  responsibility 
of  caring  for  the  sick ;  however,  the  appointment  carried  with  it  a  privilege 
and  an  opportunity  to  teach  medical  students  in  the  hospital. 

This  political  abuse  of  the  professional  activities  of  the  hospital  became  so 
bad  that  finally  during  the  administrations  of  President  Henry  Foreman  and 
of  President  Edward  J.  Brundage,  backed  by  many  members  of  the  medical 
profession,  civil  service  regulations  were  adopted  for  both  the  attending 
staff  and  for  the  resident  staff  in  1905.  The  professional  work  in  the  County 
Hospital  by  the  attending  staff  and  also  by  the  resident  staff  since  the 
adoption  of  civil  service  has  been  characterized  by  splendid  service  to  the 
patients  and  by  a  better  quality  of  teaching  service  to  the  medical  students 
who  were  privileged  to  study  in  the  wards  and  to  attend  the  amphitheatre 
clinics. 

On  November  28,  1881,  the  Board  of  County  Commissioners  authorized  a 
separate  staff  of  Homeopathic  physicians  and  surgeons.  The  Homeopathic 
Department  of  the  hospital  was  given  jurisdiction  over  one-fifth  of  all  the 
patients  who  were  admitted.  A  proportionate  number  of  Homeopathic  in- 
ternes was  established.  Patients  entering  the  hospital  were  not  permitted 
to  express  a  choice  for  treatment  under  the  so-called  regular  school  and  the 
Homeopathic  Department. 

On  January  24,  1889,  the  board  authorized  a  separate  staff  of  Eclectic  phy- 
sicians and  surgeons  with  an  allotment  of  one-fifth  of  all  of  the  patients 
admitted  to  the  hospital  and  a  proportionate  number  of  Eclectic  internes. 

With  the  adoption  of  civil  service  in  the  selection  of  members  of  the 
attending  staff  and  of  the  house  staff,  sectarian  medicine  ceased  to  be  recog- 
nized by  the  hospital  authorities.  Places  upon  the  attending  staff  were  open 
to  competitive  examination  under  civil  service  regulations  to  any  licensed 
doctor  of  medicine  in  good  standing  in  the  county ;  likewise  positions  on  the 
house  staff  were  open  to  any  graduate  of  the  medical  schools  of  the  county 
which  were  in  good  standing  with  the  State  Licensing  Board. 

HOUSE  STAFF 

From  its  earliest  history  as  a  hospital,  the  position  of  interne  in  the  County 
Hospital  has  been  an  enviable  one  because  of  its  educational  advantages  and, 
therefore,  has  been  sought  for  by  the  best  students  of  the  medical  schools 
of  Chicago.  Even  before  civil  service  was  adopted,  an  internship  was  obtain- 
able only  by  competitive  examination  of  a  most  rigid  character.  To  success- 
fully pass  the  examinations,  students  of  all  colleges  organized  quiz  classes 
and  for  months  before  every  annual  examination,  were  drilled  by  qualified 
quiz  masters.  In  1876  there  were  six  internes ;  in  1882,  twelve,  and  as  the 
capacity  of  the  hospital  increased  the  number  of  internes  was  multiplied, 
and  is  now  forty-four. 

For  many  years  the  interne  service  was  a  rotating  one,  covering  a  period 
of  eighteen  months,  which  included  six  months'  service  in  medicine  and  its 
specialties ;  six  months  in  general  surgery  and  its  specialties ;  and  six  months 
in  obstetrics  and  gynecology.  For  many  years,  too,  there  was  a  required 
service  at  autopsies  as  assistants. 

The   experience   of   the    interne   of   the   Cook    County   Hospital   is   rich   in 


268  HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO 

opportunity  and  in  training  in  diagnosis,  prognosis  and  treatment  of  disease 
and  injury  and  in  obstetrics.  Few  hospitals  of  any  country  afford  equal 
opportunity.  With  training  of  this  character,  the  graduates  of  Cook  County 
Hospital,  as  a  rule,  are  successful  physicians,  surgeons  or  specialists.  Many 
of  the  graduates  have  assumed  leadership  as  physicians,  surgeons  and  teach- 
ers in  Chicago  and  elsewhere.  Among  these,  some  of  whom  are  dead,  may 
be  mentioned  Nicholas  Senn,  William  Fox,  William  E.  Quine,  William  T. 
Belfield,  John  B.  Murphy,  Lewis  L.  McArthur,  Byron  C.  Meacher,  Albert  E. 
Halstead,  Joseph  B.  De  Lee,  James  B.  Herrick,  Ludvig  Hektoen,  George  H. 
Weaver,  Arthur  R.  Edwards,  Robert  B.  Preble,  Edwin  R.  LeCount,  the 
martyr  investigator  Ricketts,  Thomas  A.  Davis,  Charles  Davison,  H.  Gideon 
Wells,  Noble  W.  Jones,  Arthur  D.  Dunn,  Bertram  W.  Sippy,  and  many 
others  who  are  doing  efficient  service  in  behalf  of  suffering  humanity. 

THE  NURSES'  TRAINING  SCHOOL 

Previous  to  1881  the  entire  nursing  of  the  hospital  was  carried  on  by 
practical  nurses,  many  of  them  men.  On  May  1,  1881,  while  the  writer  was 
serving  as  an  interne,  the  first  pupil  nurses  of  the  Illinois  Training  School 
for  Nurses  were  admitted  to  the  hospital  wards  for  training.  This  was  the 
beginning  of  the  training  of  nurses  in  Chicago.  The  primary  hostility  of 
the  innovation  soon  gave  way  to  enthusiastic  co-operation  of  the  department 
of  administration,  the  medical  staff  and  the  patients  with  the  school  for 
nurses. 

THE  HOSPITAL  AS  AN  EDUCATIONAL  INSTITUTION 

During  its  whole  history,  the  Cook  County  Hospital  has  expressed  its 
chief  educational  value  in  the  training  of  internes.  Since  1881  it  has  served 
a  like  purpose  in  the  training  of  nurses.  Until  recent  time  the  wards  of  the 
hospital  have  not  been  open,  excepting  for  very  short  periods  of  time,  to 
undergraduate  medical  students.  Therefore,  it  failed  to  supply  the  best 
type  of  training  to  the  medical  students.  This  exclusion  of  the  students 
from  the  wards  was  due  to  the  prejudice  of  the  public  reflected  upon  the 
board  of  commissioners  that  the  presence  of  medical  students  in  the  wards 
was  inimical  to  the  best  interests  of  the  patients.  Happily,  this  erroneous 
belief  has  been  overcome  and  students  are  now  permitted  to  enter  the 
wards  under  regulations  as  to  number  and  subject  to  the  control  of  the 
administrative  officers  and  the  staff.  This  policy  affords  splendid  oppor- 
tunities for  the  medical  and  surgical  training  of  the  students  and  insures 
efficient  attention  to  the  patients.  The  presence  of  medical  students  in  the 
wards  insures  an  inquisitorial  factor  of  the  professional  work.  Neglect  of 
efficient  attention  to  the  patient  in  diagnosis  and  treatment  by  the  attending 
staff  and  by  the  house  staff  is  sure  to  be  detected  by  the  observant  medical 
student.  Therefore,  the  presence  of  students  in  the  wards  is  necessary 
in  supplying  the  publicity  necessary  to  good  work  in  any  hospital.  With 
this  method  of  undergraduate  medical  teaching,  the  County  Hospital  gives 
promise  of  developing  an  efficient  method  in  educating  medical  students. 

PATHOLOGICAL  DEPARTMENT 

The  County  Hospital  is  locally  notable  because  the  study  of  pathology  in 
the  middle  west  originated  in  the  institution. 

Until  1878  pathology  in  Chicago  was  taught  by  and  autopsies  were  made 
by  physicians  and  surgeons  whose  chief  occupation  was  medical  and  sur- 
gical practice.  Perhaps  a  few  members  of  the  profession  had  some  knowl- 


HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO  269 

edge  of  morbid  anatomy  and  of  postmortem  technic,  but  pathology  was  the 
tail  of  their  kites. 

In  1878,  Christian  Fenger  came  to  Chicago  from  Egypt  where  he  had 
been  for  a  period  physician  to  the  Viceroy.  He  was  born  and  educated 
near  Copenhagen,  Denmark,  where  he  had  enjoyed  splendid  opportunities 
for  the  study  of  pathology  and  had  made  thousands  of  autopsies.  He  had 
served  as  a  surgeon  under  the  auspices  of  the  Red  Cross  in  the  Franco- 
German  War.  His  qualifications  as  a  pathologist  were  recognized  at  once 
and  soon  he  was  placed  in  charge  of  the  pathological  department  of  the 
County  Hospital.  Very  soon  thereafter  the  mortuary  of  the  hospital  became 
the  daily  Mecca  of  the  members  of  the  medical  profession  of  Chicago  and  of 
the  students  of  the  various  colleges  to  witness  the  autopsies  and  to  listen  to 
the  description  of  the  morbid  anatomical  conditions  found.  Although  Dr. 
Fenger  was  unable  to  express  himself  with  fluent  language,  nevertheless  his 
discourse  expressed  pathological  truths  and  facts  clearly  enough  to  make 
the  subject  understandable  and  his  lectures  continued  to  draw  a  large 
audience  for  the  many  years  that  he  acted  as  pathologist  to  the  hospital. 

It  is  an  important  historic  fact  that  Cook  County  Hospital  afforded  the 
opportunity  to  Fenger,  the  qualified  opportunist  in  pathology.  This  point  is 
important  because  from  the  day  upon  which  Dr.  Fenger  became  pathologist 
of  the  hospital,  until  this  time,  Chicago  developed  slowly  but  surely,  as  an 
important  medical  center  of  practice,  of  teaching  and  of  research.  The 
chief  agent  in  this  development  was  Fenger,— the  pathologist,  the  clinician, 
the  teacher  and,  above  all,  the  patron  of  young  men,  whether  rich  or  poor, 
who  had  the  energy  and  the  industry  to  seek  the  knowledge  which  his 
example  inspired.  The  work  which  Fenger  did  in  pathology  at  the  hospital 
and  his  place  in  his  enlarged  field  of  pathology  have  been  assumed  by  his 
students  Hektoen,  LeCount,  Wells  and  others. 

RESEARCH 

With  the  erection  of  the  present  new  Cook  County  Hospital,  facilities 
for  research  in  the  form  of  laboratories  were  provided.  This  has  enabled 
the  resident  pathologists,  in  co-operation  with  the  attending  pathologist,  to 
carry  on  investigations  and  important  results  have  been  published. 

Cook  County  Hospital  is  a  noble  institution  maintained  by  the  public 
for  the  medical  and  surgical  treatment  of  its  indigent  poor.  At  the  present 
time  it  is  comparatively  free,  happily,  of  the  many  evils  which  politics 
includes  and  which  were  manifested  by  mismanagement  and  graft  in  its 
earlier  years.  It  is  to  be  hoped  that  an  enlightened  public  will  demand  a 
continuance  of  its  present  excellent  management  and  that  it  may  continue 
to  serve  its  sick  and  injured  poor  efficiently  and  as  a  part  of  its  function 
serve  as  a  splendid  medical  educational  and  research  institution.

ALEXIAN    BROTHERS    HOSPITAL 
1200    Belden    Avenue 

ALEXIAN    BROTHERS    HOSPITAL 

The  Alexian  Brothers  Hospital  is  administered  by  a  confraternity  of 
ancient  origin. 

When,  in  the  beginning  of  the  fourteenth  century,  pestilence  was  ravaging 
a  great  part  of  Europe,  a  body  of  men  actuated  by  Christian  charity  united 
themselves  in  a  religious  community  whose  purpose  was  caring  for  the  poor 
and  those  afflicted  by  the  plague  and  to  bury  the  dead.  They  chose  as 
patron,  St.  Alexius,  and  the  Church  recognized  them  as  a  religious  com- 
munity under  the  name  of  the  Alexian  Brothers. 

As  early  as  1377  Pope  Gregory  IX,  in  a  circular  letter,  had  asked  the 
Bishops  of  Cologne,  Mayence  and  Treves  to  support  the  brothers  in  their 
heroic  work  of  charity. 

Since  the  fourteenth  century  the  general  mother  house  of  the  order  in 
which  the  rector  general  resides  has  been  located  in  the  ancient  imperial 
city  of  Aix-la-Chapelle.  The  chapel  of  the  mother  house,  dedicated  July  3, 
1481,  is  still  in  existence. 

For  more  than  six  hundred  years  the  Alexian  Brothers  have  labored  in 
their  work  of  caring  for  the  sick  and  in  nearly  all  of  the  European  countries 
they  have  hospitals  and  similar  institutions. 

In  December,  1865,  the  superiors  at  Aix-la-Chapelle  sent  the  Venerable 
Brother  Bonaventure  Thelen  to  this  country  to  found  an  establishment  in 
the  new  world  and  thus  to  open  up  a  new  field  of  labor.  In  crossing  the 
ocean  Brother  Bonaventure  suffered  shipwreck,  but  was  saved  and  finally 
landed  on  American  soil.  He  decided  to  locate  in  Chicago.  He  had  lost  all 
his  credentials  in  the  shipwreck  and  was  looked  upon  as  an  impostor  until 
finally  he  received  new  papers  through  the  archbishop  of  Cologne.  In  the 
meantime  he  lived  with  the  family  of  Henry  \Yischmeyer  on  the  north  side 
and  by  means  of  their  hospitality  and  assistance  he  was  enabled  to  pass 
through  the  first  winter. 

Characteristic  of  the  spirit  of  Brother  Bonaventure  was  the  fact  that  he 


HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO 


picked  up  his  first  patient  on  the  street.  He  carried  him  home  on  his  shoul- 
ders and  gave  him  his  own  bed. 

The  next  year  when  a  number  of  brothers  from  the  mother  house  had 
followed  Brother  Bona venture  to  this  country,  they  decided  to  begin  at  once 
the  erection  of  a  hospital.  Through  the  efforts  of  the  Redemptorist  Father, 
Joseph  Mueller,  the  Right  Reverend  Bishop  Duggan  gave  them  permission 
to  construct  a  temporary  hospital  on  ground  belonging  to  the  diocese  at 
North  Dearborn  Avenue  and  Schiller  Street.  In  the  fall  of  1866  the  building 
was  completed  and  occupied  by  patients.  This  hospital  soon  proved  inade- 
quate and  the  brothers  bought  a  site  near  North  Avenue  between  Franklin 
and  North  Market  streets.  The  foundation  for  the  new  hospital  was  laid  in 
the  fall  of  1867  and  a  year  afterwards  the  establishment  was  ready  for  the 
reception  of  patients.  After  hardly  three  years  of  experience  this  hospital 
together  with  other  buildings  belonging  to  the  brothers  was  destroyed  by 
the  great  fire  of  1871.  The  loss  was  estimated  at  $100,000. 

In  spite  of  great  difficulties  a  new  hospital  was  erected  on  the  old  site 
during  the  following  year  and  this  was  operated  by  the  brothers  until  1895, 
when  construction  of  the  Northwestern  elevated  railroad  necessitated 
removal  of  the  institution. 

A  site  at  Belden  and  Racine  avenues  was  bought  and  on  October  4,  1896, 
the  corner  stone  for  the  new  hospital  was  laid  by  Archbishop  Feehan  in  the 
presence  of  a  great  multitude. 

In  the  spring  of  1898  the  buildings  and  their  interior  equipment  were  so 
far  completed  that  the  transfer  to  the  new  home  could  take  place.  The  hos- 
pital, surrounded  by  gardens  and  parks,  covers  an  area  of  307  by  236  feet  and 
is  equipped  with  all  modern  conveniences. 

The  establishment  is  a  public  institution  open  to  all  creeds  and  nationali- 
ties. All  kinds  of  cases  are  received  except  contagious.  The  number  of 
cases  cared  for  during  1921  was  3,146,  of  which  871  were  charity  cases. 


MICHAEL    REESE    HOSPITAL 
East   Twenty-ninth    Street    and    Ellis    Avenue 

MICHAEL    REESE     HOSPITAL 

The  first  Jewish  hospital  in  Chicago  was  erected  in  1868  at  the  corner  of 
La  Salle  Avenue  and  Schiller  Street. 


272  HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO 

Funds  for  the  institution  were  raised  at  a  mass  meeting  of  the  Jews  of 
Chicago  held  October  22,  1866.  The  assemblage  was  addressed  by  Doctors 
Ernst  Schmidt  and  Ralph  N.  Isham  and  the  sum  of  $10,000  was  subscribed 
on  the  spot.  A  few  days  later  the  amount  was  increased  to  $17,635,  although 
the  objective  was  only  $15,000.  This  was  especially  noteworthy  in  view 
of  the  fact  that  the  contributors  had  already  taxed  themselves  $4,000  for 
the  relief  fund  for  the  current  year. 

The  great  fire  of  1871  destroyed  the  hospital,  however,  and  during  the 
next  few  years  the  United  Hebrew  Relief  Association  and  the  United  Hebrew 
Charities  of  Chicago,  which  from  the  first  had  controlled  the  institution, 
distributed  the  patients  among  the  other  hospitals  of  the  city. 

The  benevolence  of  Michael  Reese  was  responsible  for  the  amelioration 
of  these  conditions  and  for  the  allocation  of  funds  that  finally  resulted  in 
the  establishment  of  one  of  the  finest  hospitals  in  the  west. 

Upon  his  death  in  1873  Michael  Reese  left  to  Joseph  and  Henry  L.  Frank 
the  sum  of  $50,000,  part  of  which  was  to  go  to  the  Cleveland  Orphan  Asylum. 
The  remainder  was  to  be  disbursed  at  the  discretion  of  the  recipients. 
Twenty  thousand  dollars  was  sent  to  Cleveland  and  $30,000,  at  the  solicita- 
tion of  Doctors  Michael  Mannheimer  and  Ernst  Schmidt,  was  set  aside 
for  the  Jewish  Hospital  which  was  to  be  known  as  Michael  Reese  Hospital 
and  to  be  non-sectarian. 

Michael  Reese  had  also  bequeathed  a  fund  of  $200,000  to  Henrietta  Rosen- 
field  and  Joseph  Rosenberg,  which  was  to  be  disposed  of  at  their  discretion. 

The  first  fund  of  $30,000  was  expended  in  the  erection  of  a  building  and 
the  purchase  of  a  site  at  Twenty-ninth  Street  and  Groveland  Avenue,  the 
lot  of  the  United  Hebrew  Relief  Association  at  North  La  Salle  and  Schiller 
streets  being  given  as  part  consideration.  The  hospital  structure  consisted 
of  a  central  building  and  two  wings,  all  being  three  stories  high.  It  was 
opened  for  the  reception  of  patients  in  October,  1882. 

The  original  staff  consisted  of  Doctors  Edmund  Andrews,  J.  Adams 
Allen,  S.  D.  Jacobsen,  Henry  Merckle,  William  H.  Byford,  Hosmer  A.  John- 
son, DeLaskie  Miller  and  A.  J.  Baxter.  Members  of  the  dispensary  staff 
were  Doctors  Roswell  Park,  Ernest  Lackner  and  Boerne  Bettman. 

The  board  of  directors  was  composed  of  the  following: 

Isaac  Greenfelder,  president;  M.  Gerstley,  Abram  Hart,  Joseph  Schaffner, 
Julius  Rosenthal,  Jacob  Rosenberg,  Dr.  Emil  G.  Hirsch,  Henry  L.  Flagg, 
Herman  F.  Hahn  and  Nathan  Meyer. 

In  the  first  year  of  its  existence  the  new  hospital  disbursed  $21,142.70. 
During  this  year  431  patients  were  treated,  of  whom  158  were  Jewish,  167 
Protestants,  78  Roman  Catholics  and  28  of  no  religion.  There  were  218 
paying  patients,  13  part  pay  and  200  charity  cases. 

In  the  following  years  the  fund  of  $200,000  was  gradually  expended  by 
Mrs.  Rosenfield  and  Mr.  Rosenberg  in  reconstructing  the  hospital,  the 
interior  having  been  built  of  wood  originally.  Thus  the  edifice  was  made  as 
nearly  fireproof  as  its  peculiar  method  of  construction  would  permit. 

The  children's  department  was  organized  in  1890  as  a  small  ward  which 
occupied  about  twelve  beds  on  the  ground  floor  of  the  original  building  on 
the  same  site  where  the  hospital  now  stands.  The  first  attending  physicians 
to  this  department  were  Doctors  Ernest  Lackner  and  Frank  Cary.  Applica- 
tions for  admission  to  this  department  increased  so  rapidly  that  more  space 


HISTORY  OF  .MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO  273 

was  required  and  in  1894  a  building  was  erected  on  the  north  portion  of  the 
hospital  grounds.  The  new  pavilion  was  made  possible  by  the  munificence 
of  Mr.  Jacob  Rosenberg  and  his  family,  and  was  designated  "The  Pavilion 
for  Women  and  Children." 

In  this  structure  about  fifty  sick  infants  and  children  were  housed  as  well 
as  mothers  who  were  either  sick  themselves  or  who  were  in  attendance  upon 
their  sick  infants.  Dr.  Ernest  Lackner  continued  as  attending  physician 
and  Dr.  Isaac  A.  Abt  succeeded  Dr.  Frank  Cary,  who  was  assigned  to  the 
department  of  obstetrics. 

When  the  present  Michael  Reese  Hospital  was  erected  in  1908,  two  floors 
in  the  north  wing  were  set.  aside  as  children's  wards.  The  allotted  space 
was  carefully  planned  with,  a  separate  entrance,  and  contained  isolated 
cubicles,  private  rooms  and  accommodations  for  infants  and  children.  This 
served  well  for  a  short  period  of  time,  but  the  increasing  requirements  for 
additional  space  showed  the  need  of  a  separate  building  for  children. 

In  1910  plans  were  instituted  for  the  erection  of  the  new  Sarah  Morris 
Pavilion  for  children.  Mrs.  Nelson  Morris,  by  her  will,  set  aside  funds  for 
the  erection  and  maintenance  of  this  building.  In  1912  this  structure  was 
opened  for  the  reception  of  patients.  It  was  carefully  planned  for  the  peculiar 
needs  of  sick  children.  It  accommodates  about  one  hundred  and  twenty-five 
patients  and  contains  about  twenty  private  rooms  whish  are  set  aside  for 
sick  children  who  are  accompanied  by  mother  or  attendant. 

The  maternity  service  was  inaugurated  in  1902,  five  free  beds  (four  in 
one  ward  and  one  in  an  isolation  room),  three  private  rooms,  an  operating, 
sterilizing  and  bathroom,  making  up  the  unit.  Dr.  Lester  E.  Frankenthal 
was  appointed  attending  obstetrician  and  Dr.  Henry  Banga,  consultant. 
Later  Dr.  Frank  Cary  joined  the  department,  having  resigned  from  the  chil- 
dren's department.  Soon  the  yearly  attendance  averaged  between  240  and 
275  cases.  Fourteen  years  ago  the  new  Michael  Reese  Hospital  opened  its 
doors  with  a  large  modern  maternity,  that  in  pre-war  days  was  averaging 
from  a  hundred  to  a  hundred  and  thirty  cases  a  month. 

An  important  feature  of  the  hospital  is  the  large  research  laboratory 
named  after  Nelson  Morris. 

During  the  year  1921  the  hospital,  now  controlled  by  the  Associated 
Jewish  Charities  of  Chicago,  cared  for  8,442  patients.

ST.  JOSEPH'S  HOSPITAL 
2100    Burling    Street 

ST.     JOSEPH'S     HOSPITAL 

The  original  name  of  St.  Joseph's  Hospital  was  the  Providence  Hospital, 
which  was  established  in  1868  in  Lake  View  by  Sisters  Walburga,  Anina 
and  M.  Joseph. 

In  1871  the  hospital  was  transferred  to  its  present  site  at  2100  Burling 
Street,  but  owing  to  the  fire  of  that  year  it  was  not  opened  until  May,  1872 
by  Sister  Walburga  and  seven  Sister  companions.  The  hospital  is  conducted 
by  the  Sisters  of  Charity  of  St.  Vincent  de  Paul  and  is  affiliated  with  Rush 
Medical  College. 

In  1884  Doctors  Nicholas  Senn  and  Robert  D.  MacArthur  began  the  out- 
patient clinic,  which  later  was  divided  into  sections.  Among  the  medical 
men  of  the  past  who  have  been  connected  with  the  hospital  were  Doctors 
Charles  T.  Parkes,  Nicholas  Senn,  Fernand  Henrotin  and  Daniel  R.  Brower. 

In  recent  years  an  annex  of  steel  and  concrete  construction  containing  one 
hundred  rooms  for  patients  was  added,  giving  the  hospital  a  capacity  of 
200  beds.  The  number  of  patients  cared  for  during  the  first  year  was  sev- 
enty, of  which  one-third  were  charity  cases.  In  1921,  4,800  patients  were 
admitted,  about  200  of  these  being  charity  cases.

AUGUSTANA  HOSPITAL 
Lincoln,   Garfield  and   Cleveland   Avenues 

AUGUSTANA     HOSPITAL 

Approximately  70,000  sufferers  have  received  the  ministrations  of  August- 
ana  Hospital  in  the  thirty-eight  years  of  its  existence. 

The  name  Augustana  was  first  applied  to  the  confession  of  the  Evangelical 
Princes  of  Germany,  which  was  submitted  to  the  Emperor  Charles  V  at  the 
diet  of  Augsburg  in  1530. 

The  Augustana  Hospital  is  owned  and  controlled  by  the  Illinois  Confer- 
ence of  the  Evangelical  Lutheran  Augustana  Synod.  The  corporate  name 
of  the  hospital  is  the  Deaconess  Institution  of  the  Swedish  Evangelical 
Lutheran  Church,  whose  certificate  wras  granted  in  1882.  The  first  hospital 
building  was  opened  May  28,  1884  on  the  present  site. 

At  the  opening  there  were  one  physician  and  surgeon,  Dr.  Truman  W. 
Miller ;  one  nurse  and  matron,  Miss  Lottie  Frejd ;  and  one  patient,  who  had 
come  to  the  dedication  of  the  hospital  and  on  alighting  from  a  street  car  had 
broken  her  leg.  There  were  fifteen  beds.  The  hospital  building  at  first  was 
rented  and  later  purchased  from  the  Rev.  Dr.  Erland  Carlson,  pastor  of  the 
Immanuel  Swedish  Lutheran  Church,  who  had  used  it  as  his  residence. 

The  incorporators  and  first  directors  were :  the  Reverend  Doctors  Erland 
Carlson,  O.  Olsson,  M.  C.  Ranseen  and  C.  B.  L.  Boman,  and  Charles  P. 
Holmberg,  G.  A.  Bohman  and  John  Erlander. 

In  September,  1892,  the  corner  stone  of  the  south  portion  of  the  present 
hospital  was  laid.  This  portion,  containing  125  beds,  was  completed  in  1894 
at  a  cost  of  $70,000.  In  1903-04  the  north  and  east  wings  were  erected  and 
furnished  at  a  cost  of  $130,000,  giving  the  entire  hospital  a  capacity  of  200 
beds.  The  building  is  six  stones  high. 

The  chiefs  of  staff  and  surgeons-in-chief  of  the  hospital  have  been  Doctors 
Truman  W.  Miller,  1884-1890;  Charles  T.  Parkes,  1890-1891;  and  A.  J. 
Ochsner,  from  1891  to  the  present. 

Notwithstanding  its  very  definite  sponsorship,  the  only  requisite  for 
admission  to  the  hospital  is  the  need  of  treatment  and  care.  Patients  of 


276 


HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO 


every  denominational  creed,  or  of  no  creed  at  all,  are  received  without  dis- 
crimination, the  paramount  desire  of  those  in  charge  being  to  alleviate  suf- 
fering. Outside  of  the  Lutheran  connection,  the  creed  having  the  largest  rep- 
resentation among  the  patients  is  Roman  Catholic.  As  many  as  twenty-nine 
nations  have  furnished  their  quota  of  sufferers. 

The  hospital  is  maintained  as  a  charitable  institution.  According  to  its 
charter,  no  individual  or  body,  ecclesiastical  or  civic,  can  divert  funds  for 
gain.  Whatever  surplus  there  is  when  the  running  expenses  are  paid  must 
be  devoted  to  the  aid  of  sick  and  needy  patients.  From  one-fifth  to  one- 
fourth  of  the  surgical  and  medical  work  of  the  doctors  is  done  gratuitously. 

The  institution  is  supported  by  the  pay  of  patients,  by  contributions  from 
churches,  donations  from  charitable  organizations  and  from  individuals. 

An  auxiliary  of  the  institution  is  the  Augustana  Hospital  Aid  Society, 
which  derives  its  membership  from  all  the  Lutheran  churches  on  the  north 
side.  Its  purpose  is  to  give  aid  to  needy  patients  within  the  Lutheran 
churches  of  Chicago.  The  present  membership  is  250,  mostly  women. 

The  hospital  authorities  have  made  provision  for  future  enlargement  by 
purchasing  a  tract  comprising  379  feet  of  frontage  on  Garfield  Avenue  and 
268  feet  on  Sedgwick  Street  covering  an  area  of  nearly  85,000  square  feet. 
A  large  fund  for  the  erection  of  a  new  hospital  has  been  collected. 

On  the  site  indicated  it  is  proposed  to  build  two  pavilions,  one  contain- 
ing 150  private  rooms  with  all  modern  improvements,  about  238  feet  in 
length  and  50  feet  in  width  and  seven  stories  high  in  rear,  and  one  of  the 
same  height  containing  small  wards  of  two  to  four  beds  and  less  expensive 
private  rooms.  The  two  pavilions  are  to  be  joined  by  a  center  building  four 
stories  high.  This  structure  is  to  comprise  the  administration  rooms, 
quarters  for  internes  and  several  modern  operating  rooms. 

A  home  for  nurses  is  now  in  course  of  construction.

PRESBYTERIAN   HOSPITAL 
Congress  and  Wood  Streets  and  Hermitage  Avenue 

PRESBYTERIAN     HOSPITAL 

By  David  W.  Graham,  M.  D. 

Nearly  forty  years  ago  members  of  the  faculty  of  Rush  Medical  College 
felt  the  need  of  a  more  certain  and  more  abundant  supply  of  clinical  material 
than  it  had  hitherto  been  possible  to  command.  Modern  methods  of  teach- 
ing and  the  rapidly  expanding  domain  of  medical  science  imperatively  de- 
manded such  increase  of  resources  for  teaching  medicine  as  a  fully  equipped 
hospital  affords.  So  the  Rush  College  faculty,  with  Dr.  Joseph  Presley  Ross 
as  protagonist,  determined  to  build  a  hospital. 

For  this  purpose  Dr.  Ross  obtained  a  gift  of  $10,000  from  his  father-in- 
law,  Mr.  Tuthill  King.  This  was  the  first  contribution  and  "the  corner 
stone  upon  which  the  hospital  was  built,"  in  consideration  of  which  Mr. 
King  and  his  heirs  "should  have  the  right  to  one  free  bed  in  perpetuity." 
With  this  as  a  beginning  a  small  building  was  erected  contiguous  to  and 
north  of  the  college  building.  But  the  present  and  prospective  financial 
problems  loomed  large.  Several  plans  were  proposed  and  discussed  for 
securing  outside  cooperation.  A  cogent  appeal  to  the  public  was  that 
Chicago  was  greatly  in  need  of  more  hospitals,  and  that  especially  was 
this  true  of  the  west  side  of  the  city. 

The  original  plan  of  Dr.  Ross  was  that  the  hospital  should  be  under 
Protestant  management  and  "if  denominational,  why  not  Presbyterian"?  In 
pursuance  of  this  plan  articles  of  incorporation  for  the  Presbyterian  Hospital 
of  Chicago  were  issued  to  Dr.  Ross  and  others  by  the  secretary  of  state 
July  21,  1883.  On  December  13  following,  a  meeting  of  those  sponsoring 
the  movement  was  held  to  complete  the  organization.  At  a  later  meeting 
this  organization  agreed  to  take  over,  complete  and  maintain  the  unfinished 
hospital,  Rush  Medical  College  reserving  the  right  to  nominate  the  medical 
staff  and  to  control  the  clinical  resources  of  the  future  hospital. 


278  HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO 

At  the  meeting  of  December  13  it  was  decided  that  after  the  first  year 
there  should  be  a  board  of  twenty-four  managers  and  five  ex-officio  managers, 
the  latter  to  be  the  pastors  of  the  First,  Second,  Third  and  Fourth  Presby- 
terian Churches  of  Chicago  and  a  representative  of  the  McCormick  Theo- 
logical Seminary. 

The  first  board  of  managers  was  constituted  as  follows: 
Dr.  Daniel  K.  Pearsons,  president;  Charles  H.  Henderson,  vice-president; 
Cyrus  H.  McCormick,  Jr.,  corresponding  secretary ;  George  H.  Hale,  treas-

Of  this  number,  but  two  are  living  today,  Cyrus  H.  McCormick  and 
William  A.  Douglas,  the  latter  having  served  continuously  as  secretary 
since  the  first  meeting. 

The  first  annual  meeting  was  held  April  14,  1884,  and  adjourned  to  April 
21  to  elect  officers  and  appoint  a  medical  board.     Judge  Samuel  M.  Moore 
was  elected  president  in  place  of  Dr.  Pearsons  and  Dr.  Hamill  was  elected 
vice-president  in  place  of  Mr.  Henderson. 
The  first  medical  board  was  as  follows : 

Consulting  physicians — Robert  C.  Hamill,  J.  Adams  Alen  and  Charles 
Gilman  Smith. 

Consulting  surgeons — Ralph  N.  Isham  and  Roswell  G.  Bogue. 
Consulting  gynecologist — William  H.  Byford. 

Attending  physicians — Joseph  P.  Ross,  Henry  M.  Lyman  and  Norman 
Bridge. 

Attending  surgeons — Moses  Gunn,  Charles  T.  Parkes,  David  W.  Graham 
and  E.  W.  Whitney. 

Attending  gynecologists — James  H.   Etheridge   and  Henry   P.   Merriman. 
Diseases   of   children   and   obstetrics — De    Laskie   Miller   and   J.    Suydam 
Knox. 

Eye  and  ear  surgeons — Edward  L.  Holmes  and  Lyman  Ware. 
Dermatologists — J.  Nevins  Hyde  and  Robert  D.  MacArthur. 
Attending  physician,  diseases  of  the  throat — John  A.  Robison. 
Resident  physician — E.  P.  Davis. 

Dr.  Davis,  although  appointed  as  resident  physician,  served  as  medical 
superintendent  and  interne.  Dr.  W.  H.  Sheldon  was  the  first  actual  interne, 
being  appointed  in  February,  1885,  although  Dr.  L.  H.  Prince  served  as 
substitute  for  Dr.  Sheldon  for  four  months  before  the  latter  began  his  service. 
Dr.  Davis  resigned  in  August,  1885,  and  later  became  the  distinguished 
professor  of  obstetrics  in  Jefferson  Medical  College,  Philadelphia.  He  was 
succeeded  as  medical  superintendent  by  Dr.  Henry  B.  Stehman,  who  held 
that  position  until  he  was  compelled  to  resign  on  account  of  ill  health 
about  1900. 

Of  the  original  members  of  the  medical  board,  five  are  still  living,  four 
of  these,  Doctors  Bridge,  Graham,  MacArthur  and  Robison,  being  identified 
with  the  hospital  as  consultants.  Dr.  Whitney  is  living  in  Salt  Lake 
City,  Utah. 

The  hospital  was  opened  for  patients  in  September,  1884,  writh  a  nominal 


HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO  279 


capacity  of  eighty  beds,  but,  as  the  nursing  and  hospital  force  had  to  be 
housed  in  the  building,  not  more  than  forty-five  patients  could  be  cared  for 
at  any  one  time. 

The  number  of  patients  admitted  for  the  fragment  of  the  opening  year 
was  241.  For  the  entire  year  following  the  number  of  admissions  was  493. 
The  increase  has  been  steady  and  continuous  since  then,  last  year's  (1921) 
total  admissions  being  10,439,  of  which  3,726  paid  only  a  part  of  their  cost 
and  2,534  were  entirely  free.  The  free  work  of  the  hospital  is  supported 
first,  by  income  from  endowments ;  second, ,  by  profits  from  private  room 
patients,  and  third,  by  gifts  from  churches  and  individuals. 

The  first  building,  which  fronted  Wood  Street,  was  called  the  "Ross 
Wing"  in  honor  of  the  founder  of  the  hospital.  An  addition  costing  $12,000 
and  allowing  an  increase  of  thirty-five  beds  is  recorded  in  the  fifth  annual 
report.  This  was  named  the  "Hamill  Wing"  in  honor  of  Dr.  Robert  C. 
Hamill,  one  of  the  chief  promoters. 

The  sixth  annual  report  records  the  erection  of  the  "Daniel  A.  Jones 
Memorial  Building"  and  its  dedication  in  April,  1889.  A  bequest  of  $10,000 
in  the  will  of  Mr.  Jones  and  the  gift  of  $100,000  by  his  heirs  were  obtained 
for  the  hospital  largely  through  the  influence  of  the  first  president  of  the 
board  of  managers,  Dr.  D.  K.  Pearsons.  This  building  occupies  the  south- 
east corner  of  Congress  and  Wood  streets  and  completes  the  original  group 
of  buildings  as  projected  by  the  first  architect,  Col.  E.  V.  Shipman,  in  1883. 

In  1908  the  Private  Pavilion,  adjoining  the  Jones  Memorial  Building  on 
the  east,  was  erected  at  a  cost  of  $300,000.  It  is  used  principally  for  private 
room  patients.  The  money -for  this  structure  was  given  chiefly  by  members 
of  the  board  of  managers  and  their  immediate  friends.  The  project  was 
undertaken  after  much  importunity  on  the  part  of  the  medical  board. 

When  the  building  of  the  Pavilion  was  under  discussion  more  than  one 
member  of  the  board  of  managers  questioned  wherein  the  eleemosynary 
feature  would  be  expressed  in  simple  brick  and  mortar  when  members  of  the 
medical  board  advocated  putting  money  into  these  materials  as  an  endow- 
ment. The  medical  board  almost  had  to  guarantee  that  the  new  building 
would  be  kept  filled  and  that  the  income  from  such  a  building  and  invest- 
ment would  be  several  times  that  from  money  invested  in  bonds  and  mort- 
gages. In  this  way,  it  was  pointed  out,  the  charity  work  of  the  hospital 
would  be  correspondingly  increased. 

The  next  building,  and  the  last  to  date,  was  the  "Jane  Murdoch  Memorial," 
erected  through  the  gift  of  $175,000  by  the  late  Thomas  Murdoch.  It  was 
dedicated  June  9,  1912.  In  a  measure  this  building  replaced  the  original 
Ross  and  Hamill  Wings  and  it  is  set  apart  for  the  use  of  women  and  children. 
At  a  later  date  alterations  and  additions  were  made  in  the  Jones  Memorial 
Building,  as  a  result  of  which  the  entire  hospital  at  the  present  time  has 
accommodations  for  435  patients,  or  more  than  450  under  pressure. 

It  is  a  noteworthy  fact  that  the  Presbyterian  Hospital  in  its  conception, 
construction  and  management  for  a  number  of  years  was  wholly  that  of 
the  four  physicians  on  the  board  of  managers,  together  with  their  associates 
of  the  medical  staff.  \Vhile  the  chief  purpose  in  establishing  the  hospital, 
as  given  in  appeals  to  the  public,  wns  to  care  for  the  acutely  sick  and  injured, 
the  medical  idea,  as  represented  by  the  physician  members  of  the  board 
of  managers  and  their  medical  associates,  was  much  broader  in  its  scope. 
Their  purpose  was  not  only  to  be  as  solicitous  for  the  welfare  of  the  acutely 


280  HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO 

sick  and  injured  as  any  other  class  in  the  community,  but  also  to  make  of 
the  hospital  an  active  factor  in  the  higher  education  of  physicians  for  service 
in  the  community  and  the  education  of  physicians  and  the  public  along  the 
lines  of  prevention  of  sickness  and  in  the  conquest  of  disease  throughout 
this  and  every  other  land. 

To  this  end  cooperation  between  all  the  resources  of  the  hospital  and  the 
college  in  the  way  of  research  and  diagnostic  laboratories,  in  high  class 
X-ray  equipment  and  superior  training  for  internes  and  nurses  has  been 
sought.  Yet,  after  this  exhibition  of  what  medical  men  have  accomplished 
by,  through  and  for  the  hospitals,  it  has  been  questioned  in  recent  years 
whether  they  should  have  any  direct  voice  in  the  management  of  hospitals 
and  medical  colleges. 

With  the  opening  of  the  hospital  a  training  school  for  nurses  was  started, 
but  for  lack  of  room  in  the  hospital  and  for  other  reasons  the  plan  was 
abandoned  and  the  Illinois  Training  School  for  Nurses  was  employed  to 
take  charge  of  the  hospital  nursing.  This  arrangement,  with  a  brief  inter- 
ruption, continued  until  1903,  when  the  present  Presbyterian  Hospital  Train- 
ing School  for  Nurses  was  established,  with  Miss  Helena  McMillan  as 
superintendent.  She  is  still  in  that  position. 

A  home  for  the  new  school  was  located  at  the  northwest  corner  of  Ashland 
Boulevard  and  Congress  Street.  In  1913  the  Sprague  Home  for  Nurses  was 
built  on  Congress  Street  facing  the  hospital,  with  which  it  is  connected  by 
an  underground  tunnel. 

The  school  was  among  the  first  to  inaugurate  the  eight  hour  shift  for 
pupil  nurses.  The  course  is  three  full  years  and  from  the  beginning  the 
entrance  requirements  have  been  above  the  average.  The  school  is  a  charter 
member  of  the  Central  Council  of  Nursing  Education.  The  number  of  pupil 
nurses  in  training  at  present  is  208. 

The  Presbyterian  Hospital  has  been  exceedingly  fortunate  in  its  superin- 
tendents and  executive  officers.  Dr.  Henry  B.  Stehman  came  into  service 
when  the  hospital  was  young  and  had  few  friends  and  needed  a  management 
which  would  coordinate  and  harmonize  the  clashing  interests  of  the  various 
boards  and  patients,  internes,  nurses  and  medical  men.  He  was  responsible 
more  than  any  one  man  for  the  rapid  growth  of  the  hospital  and  its  standing 
in  public  favor. 

Later,  after  several  efforts  to  obtain  a  successor  to  Dr.  Stehman,  many  of 
the  duties  of  the  superintendent  fell  to  Mr.  Asa  Bacon,  a  protege  of  Dr. 
Pearson's  who  had  been  employed  in  the  hospital  in  a  clerical  position.  So 
well  did  he  perform  these  duties  that  he  won  the  confidence  of  the  board  of 
managers  and  the  medical  board  and  eventually  was  appointed  superintend- 
ent. He  ranks  high  among  the  hospital  superintendents  of  the  day. 

The  hospital  has  had  but  seven  presidents.  Mr.  Albert  M.  Day,  the  pres- 
-  ent  incumbent,  has  administered  the  office  for  sixteen  years  with  conspicuous 
success.  His  experience  has  been  unique  in  that  he  began  it  reluctantly 
after  retiring  from  a  successful  business  career  with  a  limited  knowledge  of 
the  responsibilities  of  his  new  position;  unique  also  in  the  financial  backing 
he  could  command  on  occasions  and  in  the  amount  of  time  and  personal 
attention  he  was  able  to  render  to  every  feature  of  the  hospital.  Above  all, 
there  has  been  the  growth  of  his  conception  as  a  layman  of  what  the  obliga- 
tions of  a  hospital  should  be  in  collaborating  with  the  medical  profession  for 


HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO 


281 


the  public  welfare  and  high  medical  education.  His  service  has  been  a 
worthy  example  of  what  many  other  men  similarly  situated  could  and 
should  do. 

The  Woman's  Auxiliary  Board  began  with  the  hospital  and  it  was  through 
the  efforts  of  this  organization  in  the  collection  of  money  and  materials  for 
the  making  of  sheets,  pillow  cases  and  other  necessities  that  the  hospital 
was  able  to  open  its  doors  at  the  appointed  time.  The  board  is  composed 
chiefly  of  women  sent  as  representatives  from  Presbyterian  churches  in 
the  city  and  suburbs,  although  it  has  an  active  general  membership. 

In  the  nearly  forty  years  of  its  existence  the  board  has  collected  and  con- 
tributed more  than  $400,000  toward  the  maintenance  of  the  hospital.  The 
Training  School  for  Nurses  is  one  of  its  chief  interests.  It  supports  three 
scholarships  for  student  nurses,  accepted  candidates  for  missionary  service, 
and  maintains  a  loan  fund  of  indeterminate  amount  for  the  use  of  other  stu- 
dents needing  financial  aid  to  complete  the  course.  It  organized  the  Florence 
Nightingale  Chorus,  the  first  of  its  kind  in  the  country. 

The  first  president  of  the  Woman's  Auxiliary  Board  was  Mrs.  D.  C. 
Marquis,  to  whose  gift  of  organization  much  of  its  continued  success  is  due.

GRANT  HOSPITAL  OF  CHICAGO 
551   Grant  Place 

GRANT    HOSPITAL    OF    CHICAGO 

Grant  Hospital  of  Chicago,  formerly  the  German  Hospital,  was  organized 
December  17,  1883.  It  is  governed,  maintained  and  supported  principally  by 
Americans  of  German  birth  or  extraction. 

The  hospital  was  opened  in  1884  in  a  residence  now  2225  Lincoln  Avenue 
with  accommodations  for  thirteen  patients. 

In  1886  the  present  site  was  purchased  from  the  Wesley  Methodist  Episco- 
pal Church,  which  donated  a  part  of  the  purchase  price,  and  in  1887  the  first 
unit  of  the  new  hospital  was  erected.  In  1890  two  adjoining  lots  were  pur- 
chased, on  which  in  1897  a  fireproof  wing  was  erected.  In  the  years  imme- 
diately following  other  improvements  were  made  with  the  aid  of  various  bene- 
factions.

710    South    Lincoln    Street 

FRANCES     E.     WILLARD     NATIONAL 
TEMPERANCE     HOSPITAL 

To  demonstrate  the  possibility  of  curing  diseases  without  the  use  of  al- 
cohol, the  Frances  E.  Willard  National  Temperance  Hospital  was  organized 
in  April,  1884.  It  was  named  in  honor  of  the  distinguished  temperance  ad- 
vocate. A  similar  institution  had  existed  in  London  for  fifteen  years  and 
its  success  gave  the  first  suggestion  to  Dr.  Mary  Weeks  Burnett  of  the  prac- 
ticability of  establishing  one  in  this  country. 

A  building  at  3411  Cottage  Grove  Avenue  was  leased  March  15,  1886,  and 
put  in  order  for  the  reception  of  patients.  W'ith  a  capacity  for  ten  persons 
the  institution  was  formally  opened  May  4,  1886. 

The  hospital  organization  was  moved  to  1619  Diversey  Parkway  on  May 
1,  1892,  and  was  there  for  seven  years.  In  1900  the  hospital  was  transferred 
to  167  South  Sangamon  Street.  Land  had  been  purchased  in  1896  at  what 
is  now  710  South  Lincoln  Street  for  the  erection  of  a  permanent  building. 
Ten  thousand  dollars  was  left  to  the  hospital  by  William  Bush  and  this  sum, 
together  with  funds  in  hand,  was  sufficient  to  start  the  present  building.  A 
loan  of  $35,000  was  obtained  and  the  hospital  was  built.  The  new  building 
was  opened  in  1904  with  accommodations  for  forty  patients.  In  1913  an 
addition  of  fifty  rooms  was  erected  and  in  the  following  year  an  additional 
large  amphitheater  was  constructed  and  opened  in  1914.  The  hospital  now 
has  one  hundred  and  twenty  beds.  The  number  of  patients  admitted  during 
the  first  years  was  eighty-six.  The  number  admitted  in  1921  was  3,655. 

The  hospital  training  school  was  inaugurated  in  1891  and  the  first  class  of 
nine  nurses  was  graduated  in  1893.  In  1910  the  course  of  training  was  in- 
creased to  three  years  and  at  the  present  time  there  are  forty  nurses  in 
training.

CHILDREN'S  MEMORIAL  HOSPITAL 

MAURICE    PORTER  AGNES    WILSON 

MEMORIAL  MEMORIAL 

735   Fullerton   Avenue 

CHILDREN'S     MEMORIAL     HOSPITAL 

Component  of  a  group  of  distinguished  institutions  of  which  the  University 
of  Chicago  and  the  Otho  S.  A.  Sprague  Memorial  Institute  are  members, 
the  Children's  Memorial  Hospital  was  founded  in  1884  by  Mrs.  Julia  F. 
Porter  in  memory  of  her  son,  Maurice  Porter.  Originally  it  bore  the  name 
of  the  Maurice  Porter  Memorial  Hospital  for  Children. 

The  original  building  was  erected  by  Mrs.  Porter  on  land  contributed 
by  her  at  the  northwest  corner  of  P"ullerton  Avenue  and  Orchard  Street. 
That  structure  normally  accommodated  about  thirty  patients,  though  from 
the  beginning  urgent  need  compelled  the  hospital  to  receive  a  considerably 
larger  number  than  it  was  intended  to  provide  for. 

With  the  assent  and  cordial  co-operation  of  Mrs.  Porter  the  hospital  was 
reorganized  in  1903  and  the  name  changed  to  the  Children's  Memorial 
Hospital.  The  institution  then  acquired  nearly  all  of  the  triangular  block  of 
land  bounded  by  Fullerton  Avenue,  Orchard  Street  and  Lincoln  Avenue. 
This  property  comprises  about  four  acres  of  land  easily  accessible  by  several 
lines  of  surface  cars  and  by  the  Northwestern  Elevated  railroad. 

The  pavilion  plan  of  construction  was  adopted  by  the  hospital  board  of 
directors  in  order  to  minimize  the  risk  of  contagion  that  would  be  present 
to  a  considerable  degree  were  a  large  central  hospital  constructed.  Since 
this  decision  was  made  three  pavilions  have  been  erected  on  the  hospital 
grounds,  each  strictly  fireproof  and  planned  after  careful  study  of  all  that 
has  been  accomplished  in  modern  construction.  These  pavilions,  in  the 
order  of  their  construction  are.  the  Maurice  Porter  Memorial,  donated  by 
Mrs.  Porter;  the  Cribside.  built  by  the  Cribside  Society;  and  the  Agnes 
Wilson  Memorial,  founded  by  John  P.  Wilson  in  memory  of  his  daughter, 
Agnes  Wilson.  These  buildings  contain  in  the  aggregate  175  beds  and  all 
of  the  patients  of  the  hospital  are  now  cared  for  in  these  pavilions. 

There  had  already  been  erected  on  the  additional  property  acquired  by 
the  hospital  three  apartment  buildings  which  have  been  reconstructed  and 


284  HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO 

made  substantially  into  one  building  which  constitutes  the  nurses'  residence. 
There  are  accommodations  for  sixty-four  nurses. 

The  hospital  is  under  the  general  control  of  a  board  of  directors,  which 
appoints  the  medical  and  surgical  staff  of  the  hospital  and  designates  the 
superintendent  and  principal  of  the  school  of  nursing.  The  internal  manage- 
ment of  the  hospital  has  from  the  beginning  been  under  the  jurisdiction  of 
a  board  consisting  entirely  of  women  and  known  as  the  auxiliary  board. 
This  body  is  appointed  annually  by  the  board  of  directors.  The  medical 
and  surgical  service  at  the  hospital  is  under  the  control  of  the  medical  and 
surgical  staff  of  the  hospital.  All  other  activities  of  the  hospital  are  under 
the  control  of  the  auxiliary  board. 

In  addition  to  the  patients  under  regular  treatment  in  the  hospital  wards 
the  hospital  maintains  a  large  out-patient  department. 

The  importance  of  the  thorough  training  of  nurses  led  in  1908  to  the 
establishing  of  a  school  for  nurses  at  the  hospital,  and  special  efforts  have 
been  made  to  provide  for  them  the  best  instruction  and  training.  Lectures 
and  demonstrations  are  given  to  the  student  nurses  by  the  members  of  the 
medical  and  surgical  staff  of  the  hospital,  and  thorough  and  careful  training 
is  given  under  the  direction  of  the  principal  of  the  school  of  nursing  and  her 
assistants.  Arrangements  have  been  made  for  a  term  of  study  by  student 
nurses  in  such  subjects  as  chemistry,  materia  medica,  anatomy,  and  physi- 
ology, dietetics,  hygiene,  and  sanitation,  urinalysis,  bacteriology,  and  essen- 
tials of  medicine  at  the  University  of  Chicago.  As  the  service  of  the  nurses 
at  the  hospital  is  limited  to  the  care  of  children,  arrangements  have  been 
made  for  a  term  of  service  by  all  student  nurses  in  adult  training  at  other 
training  schools  conducted  by  hospitals  of  the  highest  grade. 

Under  the  direction  of  the  social  service  committee,  established  in  1910,  a 
work  of  great  importance  is  carried  on  in  the  investigation  of  the  conditions 
of  the  homes  from  which  the  children  are  brought  to  the  hospital,  and  after 
children  are  discharged  as  convalescent,  members  of  this  committee  and  of 
the  corps  of  nurses  maintained  by  the  committee  visit  these  children  in  their 
homes  so  as  to  secure  so  far  as  possible  their  complete  restoration  to  normal 
health. 

Among  the  children  at  the  hospital  a  considerable  number  while  in  the 
convalescent  stage  are  in  condition  to  receive  with  advantage,  both  physical 
and  mental,  a  certain  amount  of  instruction.  An  effective  organization 
known  as  the  Junior  Auxiliary  has  this  part  of  the  work  of  the  hospital  in 
its  charge.  Four  hours  a  day  are  devoted  to  instructive  work  and  under  the 
supervision  of  two  teachers  the  children  become  quite  adept  in  basket  weav- 
ing, knitting  and  sewing.  Classes  in  reading  and  writing  are  held  for  the 
older  convalescent  children  and  suitable  instructive  games  arranged  for  the 
younger. 

In  the  year  1912  an  affiliation  was  consummated  between  the  hospital  and 
the  Otho  S.  A.  Sprague  Memorial  Institute  in  pursuance  of  which  the  Institute 
established  at  the  hospital  a  department  for  the  investigation  of  the  diseases 
and  physiology  of  childhood.  The  Institute  maintains  at  the  hospital  a 
medical  director  and  a  staff  engaged  in  research  work.  Included  in  the  staff 
of  the  hospital  are  two  fellows  maintained  by  the  Institute,  of  whom  one 
is  appointed  by  the  board  of  directors  as  resident  physician  of  the  hospital 
and  the  other  assistant  resident  physician.

Toward  the  close  of  the  year  1919  an  agreement  was  reached  between  the 
University  of  Chicago  and  the  Children's  Memorial  Hospital  for  affiliation 
of  the  hospital  with  the  university.  This  does  not  mean  that  there  has 
been  in  any  sense  or  to  any  degree  a  merger  of  the  hospital  in  the  university. 
In  the  preamble  of  the  agreement  it  is  expressly  stated  that  the  provisions 
of  the  contract  form  "the  basis  of  affiliation  and  co-operation  under  which 
relations  between  said  two  corporations  shall  be  entered  into  and  main- 
tained, each  corporation  expressly  retaining  and  maintaining  its  several  re- 
sponsibilities and  sole  and  separate  obligations  with  respect  to  the  carrying 
out  of  the  purpose  for  which  it  has  been  organized." 

By  the  terms  of  this  agreement  the  University  agrees  to  make  The  Chil- 
dren's Memorial  Hospital  a  center  for  post-graduate  work  in  the  study  and 
treatment  of  diseases  of  children.  As  this  will  involve  the  making  of  the 
staff  of  the  hospital  an  important  teaching  body,  the  University  has,  by  the 
lerms  of  the  agreement,  the  right  to  nominate  to  the  board  of  the  hospital 
the  merhbers  of  the  medical  and  surgical  staff  of  the  hospital,  including  the 
pathologist,  and  the  board  of  the  hospital  agrees  to  appoint  only  persons  so 
nominated  as  members  of  the  staff  of  the  hospital.  The  board  of  the  hos- 
pital retains,  however,  the  right  to  refuse  to  appoint  any  person  a  member 
of  the  hospital  staff  not  satisfactory  to  the  board  of  the  hospital.  The  agree- 
ment is  terminable  at  the  election  of  either  party  upon  one  year's  notice. 


SWEDISH    COVENANT    HOSPITAL

SWEDISH     COVENANT     HOSPITAL 

The  Swedish  Covenant  Hospital  was  organized  May  1,  1886,  by  Rev- 
erend C.  A.  Bjork  and  Messrs.  S.  Youngquist  and  H.  Palmblad,  with  Dr. 
C.  W.  Johnson  as  surgeon.  The  institution  is  under  the  control  of  the 
Swedish  Evangelical  Mission  Covenant  of  America.  The  hospital  is  gen- 
eral in  character,  all  classes  of  cases  being  admitted  with  the  exception  of 
contagious  diseases. 

The  institution  was  first  housed  in  a  dwelling,  the  capacity  being  nine 
beds.  Since  the  main  structure  was  erected  in  1915-16  the  accommodations 
have  been  raised  to  125  beds.  Twenty  cases  were  cared  for  during  the  first

ST.     ELIZABETH'S     HOSPITAL 

The  corner  stone  of  St.  Elizabeth's  Hospital  was  laid  October  17,  1886,  and 
the  first  patient  was  admitted  September  9,  1887.  The  hospital  was  organized 
by  the  Poor  Handmaids  of  Jesus  Christ,  the  Sisters  of  that  order  having-  con- 
ducted the  institution  ever  since. 

At  its  opening,  the  hospital  had  a  bed  capacity  of  100,  which,  with  the  addi- 
tion of  a  wing  to  the  original  building,  was  increased  to  225.  All  kinds  of 
cases  except  contagious  are  received.  In  the  first  year  seventy-five  patients, 
of  whom  twenty-eight  were  considered  charity  cases,  were  cared  for.  In  1921 
the  number  of  patients  admitted  was  4,621,  including  258  charity  patients.

WESLEY  MEMORIAL  HOSPITAL 
2449    South    Dearborn    Street 


HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO  287 

*  W  E  S  L  E  Y    MEMORIAL    HOSPITAL 
Wesley  Hospital  had  its  genesis  in  a  thunderstorm. 

One  Sunday  afternoon  in  August,  1888,  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Robert  D.  Fowler 
were  calling  on  the  family  of  Dr.  Isaac  N.  Danforth  in  their  cottage  at  Lake 
Bluff.  Just  as  they  were  making  preparations  to  leave,  torrents  of  rain 
began  to  descend,  the  lightning  began  to  flash  and  thunders  roared  like 
explosions  of  artillery.  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Fowler  were  obliged  to  remain  until 
the  storm  abated. 

Dr.  Danforth  was  intimately  acquainted  with  Mr.  Fowler.  He  knew 
him  to  be  a  devout  Methodist  and  that  he  gave  freely  of  his  wealth  for  all 
good  objects.  He  was  always  ready  with  his  counsel  in  furthering  works 
of  charity  and  he  was  never  happier  than  when  engaged  in  some  work  for 
the  relief  of  the  sick  and  suffering. 

"While  the  rain  poured  and  the  lightning  flashed,  I  thought  about  the 
hospital  enterprise,"  said  Dr.  Danforth  many  years  later.  "I  wondered 
whether  I  could  engage  the  interest  of  this  splendid  Englishman  in  the 
undertaking.  I  knew  that  he  was  constantly  besieged  by  solicitors  for 
charitable  objects  of  all  kinds  and  I  presumed  that  there  was  a  probable 
limit  both  to  his  patience  and  to  his  ability  to  give  away  money.  But  the 
falling  rain  and  the  flashing  lightning  and  the  roaring  thunder  seemed  to 
unite  in  urging  me  to  make  use  of  the  opportunity  that  offered  and  which 
might  not  offer  again. 

"And  so  I  broached  the  subject  to  Mr.  Fowler,  much  in  doubt  as  to  how 
he  would  receive  it.  But  I  was  greatly  gratified  at  his  response.  He  at 
once  conceded  the  necessity  for  a  Methodist  hospital  and  in  the  same  breath 
claimed  that  a  Methodist  orphanage  was  just  as  much  needed. 

"We  conversed  for  some  time  as  to  the  best  method  of  proceeding  and 
I  strenuously  urged  the  practicability  of  beginning  at  once  in  a  small  way 
in  connection  with  our  Training  School  for  City,  Home  and  Foreign  Mis- 
sions and  our  Deaconesses'  Home,  as  the  pupils-  in  the  latter  could  do  the 
nursing,  and  at  the  same  time  get  the  necessary  practical  training  in  nurs- 
ing the  sick — so  necessary  to  fit  them  for  their  own  proper  work  as  nursing 
deaconesses. 

"Mr.  Fowler  proposed  that  we  ask  H.  N.  Higinbotham  to  meet  and  con- 
sult with  us  and  suggested  that  I  write  to  Mr.  Higinbotham  and  ask  him 
to  appoint  an  evening  when  he  could  meet  us  conveniently.  I  did  so  and 
received  a  prompt  and  kind  reply  from  Mr.  Higinbotham  inviting  Mr. 
Fowler  and  myself  to  meet  him  at  his  residence  on  the  following  Friday 
evening. 

"We  met  according  to  appointment  and,  as  a  consequence  of  this  meeting 
and  a  subsequent  consultation  between  myself,  Rev.  Luke  Hitchcock  and 
Rev.  C.  G.  Truesdell,  the  call  for  a  meeting  of  those  we  presumed  would  be 
friendly  to  the  establishment  of  a  Methodist  hospital  was  issued,  the  call 
being  written  by  myself  but  revised  and  changed  in  some  minor  points  by 
Mr.  Higinbotham." 

In  response  to  the  summons  a  number  of  representative  Methodists  met  at 
the  Sherman  House  September  8,  1888,  and  determined  to  found  a  Methodist 
hospital.  Among  those  present  were  Rev.  Truesdell,  Dr.  Danforth,  Rev. 
Hitchcock,  Mr.  Higinbotham,  Mr.  Fowler,  E.  W.  Burke,  Charles  Busby,  Mr. 

*The  basis  of  the  earlier  history  of  this  hospital  is  a  record  of  the  institution  by  Dr.  Weller  Van  Hook, 
appearing  in  Volume  Three  of  "Northwestern  University,  A  History — 1855  to  1905,"  edited  by  Arthur 
Herbert  Wilde,  Ph.  D.  The  later  history  was  furnished  by  officials  of  the  hospital. 


288  HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO 

and  Mrs.  J.  B.  Hobbs,  Rev.  J.  S.  Meyer,  Dr.  B.  W.  Griffin,  Dr.  M.  P.  Hatfield, 
George  Elderkin,  and  J.  S.  Harvey. 

Mr.  Hobbs  was  chairman  of  the  meeting.  Dr.  Danforth  said  a  Methodist 
hospital  was  a  necessity  for  the  honor  of  the  denomination.  The  sick  poor 
of  the  church  were  now  cared  for  by  other  denominations  and  obligations  had 
already  been  incurred  which  ought  not  to  be  increased.  He  said  the  pupils 
in  the  Training  School  for  City,  Home  and  Foreign  Missions  required  hos- 
pital observation  and  experience -to  fit  them  for  their  work.  He  said  that 
temporary  quarters  for  half  a  dozen  or  more  beds  could  be  had  in  the  build- 
ing of  the  Training  School  for  City,  Home  and  Foreign  Missions  at  Ohio 
Street  and  Dearborn  Avenue.  The  hospital  would  not  require  much  money 
at  the  start  and  would  grow. 

It  was  decided,  therefore,  to  start  a  hospital  and  Dr.  Danforth  and  Messrs. 
Burke,  Higinbotham,  Harvey  and  Elderkin  were  appointed  to  obtain  a  char- 
ter and  report  the  names  of  a  board  of  trustees  at  another  meeting. 

The  Chicago  Home  for  City,  Home  and  Foreign  Missions  having  offered, 
through  the  Rev.  J.  S.  Meyer  and  Mrs.  Lucy  R.  Meyer,  four  rooms  with  sup- 
port and  care  for  patients,  a  second  meeting  for  September  29  was  called, 
the  hospital  organization  completed  and  an  executive  committee  chosen. 
This  executive  committee  consisted  of  seven  members,  six  of  whom,  Messrs. 
Dyche,  Danforth,  Truesdell,  Whitlock,  Elderkin  and  Hatfield,  were  present. 
The  first  patient,  a  poor  woman,  was  admitted  to  the  hospital  on  Thanks- 
giving day,  was  attended  by  Dr.  Danforth  and  nursed  by  the  deaconesses. 
During  the  next  few  months  the  number  of  patients  rapidly  increased  at 
great  inconvenience  to  the  training  school  so  that,  at  a  meeting  of  the  board 
of  trustees,  January  19,  1889,  $2,000  was  pledged,  making  possible  the  hiring 
of  a  house  at  355  Ohio  Street  to  which  patients  could  be  removed. 

The  first  superintending  nurse  was  Miss  E.  J.  McBurney;  the  house- 
keeper, Miss  A.  E.  Cox;  and  the  warden  and  chaplain,  the  Rev.  J.  S.  Meyer. 
The  nurses  were  furnished  by  the  Chicago  Deaconess  Home  and  a  medical 
staff  was  appointed. 

In  spite  of  the  fact  that  a  considerale  deficit  existed  between  receipts  and 
expenditures  for  the  first  five  months  of  the  hospital's  existence,  plans  for  a 
specially  constructed  hospital  building  were  prepared  in  June,  1889.  Early  in 
April,  1890,  William  Deering  offered  ground  for  a  structure  at  Twenty-fifth 
and  Dearborn  streets.  The  offer  of  Mr.  Deering  was  accepted  and  a  small  two- 
story  brick  building  was  erected  to  be  used  as  a  temporary  hospital.  The 
deaconesses  no  longer  supplied  care  for  the  patients  and  an  independent 
training  school  was  organized. 

The  need  of  the  Methodist  church  for  a  large  and  well  equipped  hospital 
and  the  desirability  of  having  in  close  proximity  to  the  Northwestern  Uni- 
versity Medical  School  a  place  for  the  care  of  clinical  patients  induced  all 
interested  to  combine  their  efforts  to  erect  upon  the  land  donated  by  Mr. 
Deering  a  building  commensurate  with  the  requirements  of  the  situation. 
The  trustees  of  the  hospital  selected  five  men,  R.  D.  Sheppard,  William 
Deering,  N.  W.  Harris,  G.  F.  Swift  and  J.  B.  Hobbs,  to  serve  as  a  committee 
with  power  to  act  in  the  matter  of  getting  funds  for  the  erection  of  the 
required  structure. 

With  the  aid  of  numerous  large  and  small  donations  the  first  building  of 
the  present  group  was  erected  at  a  cost  of  $237,000.  It  was  first  occupied  as  a 
hospital  June  27,  1901.

In  the  spring  of  1906  the  Harris  Home  for  Nurses  was  erected,  the  home 
being  the  gift  of  Norman  W.  Harris.  The  building  is  located  in  Dearborn 
Street,  one  block  north  of  the  hospital. 

In  1910  a  large  addition  completing  the  original  plans  was  erected.  This 
building  contains,  besides  offices,  class  rooms  and  dining  rooms,  ten  suites 
and  thirty-two  private  rooms. 

A  gift  of  $1,000,000  by  James  Deering  in  memory  of  his  father,  William 
Deering,  and  his  sister,  Abby  Deering  Howe,  greatly  enlarged  the  hospital's 
possibilities  for  good.  The  income  alone  from  the  benefaction  may  be  used 
and  its  employment  is  directed  into  the  channel  of  aid  to  the  sick  only. 


LAKESIDE    HOSPITAL

LAKESIDE     HOSPITAL 

Lakeside  Hospital,  said  to  be  the  first  private  general  hospital  established 
in  Chicago,  was  organized  in  1890.  The  organizers  wrere  Doctors  E.  H.  Dor- 
land  and  N.  H.  Henderson,  but  since  1903  the  hospital  has  been  under  the 
control  of  Dr.  A.  Ralph  Johnstone.  In  1913  the  hospital  was  moved  from 
its  original  quarters  at  4147  Lake  Park  Avenue  to  3410  Rhodes  Avenue. 

Originally  there  were  forty-five  beds,  this  number  since  being  increased  to 
eighty.  In  its  first  year  of  operation  the  hospital  cared  for  250  patients,  and 
in  1920  the  number  of  patients  admitted  was  2,574. 

A  training  school  of  ten  nurses  at  the  beginning  has  been  enlarged  to 
accommodate  fifty  nurses.

West  Thirty-sixth  and   South    Dearborn   Streets 


PROVIDENT     HOSPITAL    AND     TRAINING 
SCHOOL 

Provident  Hospital  and  Training  School  was  founded  and  incorporated 
January  23,  1891.  Besides  functioning  as  a  general  hospital,  it  was  designed 
to  train  colored  women  in  the  profession  of  nursing. 

When  founded,  the  hospital  occupied  a  building  at  the  corner  of  Twenty- 
ninth  and  Dearborn  streets.  The  work  rapidly  outgrew  the  limitations  of 
this  building  and  in  1896  the  hospital  was  removed  to  its  present  site  at  the 
corner  of  Thirty-sixth  and  Dearborn  streets.  This  building  was  enlarged  in 
1901  by  the  addition  of  large  wards  and  a  nurses'  home.  The  present  struc- 
ture has  a  capacity  of  sixty-five  beds. 

The  number  of  cases  cared  for  in  1896  \vas  189  and  in  1921,  1,211.  The 
scope  of  the  institution's  work  was  enlarged  in  1918,  when  a  post-graduate 
school  was  organized  in  connection  with  the  hospital  to  give  colored  medical 
men  an  opportunity  to  increase  their  knowledge  in  the  various  branches  of 
their  profession.

EVANSTON   HOSPITAL— MAIN   BUILDING 
2650  Ridge  Avenue,   Evanston 

EVANSTON     HOSPITAL 

The  Evanston  Hospital,  located  on  Ridge  Avenue,  north  of  Central  Street, 
Evanston,  is  owned  and  managed  by  the  Evanston  Hospital  Association. 

The  association  was  organized  in  1891,  incorporated  in  the  same  year, 
and  the  hospital  was  opened  in  1892.  The  Evanston  Hospital  Association 
was  an  outgrowth  of  the  Evanston  Benevolent  Society,  which,  by  reason 
of  the  great  number  of  calls  upon  it  for  hospital  service,  found  it  necessary 
to  adopt  a  more  efficient  form  of  organization. 

The  prime  movers  in  the  organization  of  the  hospital  were  Mrs.  Huse 
Wilder,  Mrs.  Rebecca  Butler,  and  Mr.  John  R.  Lindgren,  who  was  the 
first  president  of  the  organization. 

This  association  has  controlled  the  hospital  since.  It  is  entirely  a  non- 
sectarian  organization.  The  hospital  is  a  private  institution  operated  for 
the  care  of  the  sick.  It  receives  no  public  funds  and  there  are  no  stock- 
holders. All  of  the  income  which  the  institution  receives  is  used  to  carry 
out  the  work  of  the  hospital.  All  kinds  of  cases  are  admitted  with  the 
exception  of  chronic  or  incurable  ones. 

Since  the  hospital  was  first  opened  in  temporary  quarters  a  number  of 
buildings  have  been  built.  The  first  building,  known  as  the  Administration 
Building,  was  built  in  1895.  In  1901  a  second  building  known  as  the  Cable 
Building  was  added.  In  1906  a  maternity  building  known  as  the  Williams 
Memorial  was  constructed.  In  1910  Patten  Hall,  a  home  for  nurses,  was 
constructed  at  the  expense  of  Mr.  James  A.  Patten,  who  has  for  years  been 
a  most  generous  benefactor  of  the  institution.  In  1914  a  power  plant,  laun- 
dry, and  service  building  for  the  housing  of  help,  kitchens,  ice  plant,  and 
storage  were  added.  In  this  same  year  a  Contagious  Building  was  added, 
this  also  being  the  gift  of  Mr.  Patten.  In  1921  a  new  General  Building,  cos-t- 
ing more  than  half  a  million  dollars,  was  opened. 

No  written  record  exists  of  the  number  of  beds  at  the  time  the  hospital 
first  began  its  work,  but  it  is  supposed  to  have  been  about  ten.  From  that 
time  the  size  of  the  institution  has  continually  grown  until  at  present  it  has 
250  beds 


292 


HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO 


In  1895  the  first  available  records  show  the  yearly  work  of  the  institution 
to  have  covered  the  care  of  36  patients.  In  1921,  just  prior  to  the  opening 
of  the  new  general  building,  the  number  cared  for  was  3,427. 

It  is  not  possible  to  tell  exactly  what  proportion  of  the  36  patients  who 
appear  in  the  first  written  record  were  charity.  It  is  probable  that  most  of 
them  were,  as  the  hospital  at  that  time  was  not  sought  by  those  of  the  com- 
munity who  were  not  applicants  for  charity.  In  1921  there  were  773  free 
patients.  About  two-thirds  of  the  total  number  paid  less  than  the  cost  of 
caring  for  them. 

The  hospital  acquired  its  first  interne  in  1912  and  at  present  has  a  house 
staff  of  eight. 

The  total  value  of  its  property  is  about  $1,000,000,  and  it  has  an  endow- 
ment fund  of  about  $780,000. 

The  hospital  possesses  a  Nurses'  Training  School  whose  growth  has  more 
than  kept  pace  with  the  growth  of  the  institution  as  a  whole.  Competent 
authorities  have  said  that  it  is  to  be  numbered  among  the  three  or  four  best 
training  schools  in  or  about  Chicago.

HOME   FOR  DESTITUTE   CRIPPLED   CHILDREN

HOME     FOR     DESTITUTE     CRIPPLED     CHILDREN 

The  Home  for  Destitute  Crippled  Children,  affiliated  with  Rush  Medical 
College,  was  organized  in  1891  and  incorporated  a  year  later.  Only  ortho- 
pedic cases  are  admitted,  and  the  patients  are  limited  to  children  not  more 
than  eleven  years  of  age. 

At  its  opening  the  Home  contained  about  twenty  beds,  this  number  being 
increased  by  additions  to  the  original  building  to  120  beds  at  present.  During 
1921,  1,122  children  were  admitted  for  treatment,  practically  all  of  whom 
were  charity  cases. 

The  Home  conducts  an  out-patient  department  every  afternoon  except 
Sunday.

NORWEGIAN-AMERICAN     HOSPITAL 

The  Norwegian-American  Hospital  Society  of  Chicago,  to  use  the  corpor- 
ate title,  was  organized  June  7,  1892,  and  on  January  6,  1893  a  charter  was 
obtained  from  .the  state  legislature.  The  hospital  is  conducted  by  the  Nor- 
wegian-Lutheran Tabitha  Society  of  Chicago. 

On  December  3,  1895  the  first  patient  was  admitted  to  the  hospital,  which 
in  its  first  year  of  existence  cared  for  180  patients.  At  that  time  there  were 
only  thirty-five  beds,  but  with  a  five-story  addition  in  later  years  the  num- 
ber of  beds  has  been  increased  to  150. 

Operating  rooms,  laboratories  and  a  nurses'  home  have  been  added  to  the 
hospital,  which  during  1921  cared  for  4,656  patients.  The  hospital  has  a 
medical  library  of  800  volumes.

ENGLEWOOD     HOSPITAL 

The  first  organization  of  Englewood  Hospital  was  in  1893,  when  it  was 
opened  with  ten  beds.  In  1903  reorganization  took  place  under  the  name  of 
the  Englewood  Hospital  Association,  a  nonsectarian  organization. 

At  that  time  a  new  building  containing  ninety  beds  was  erected.  The 
capacity  was  increased  to  150  beds  with  the  building  of  a  second  unit  in  1912, 
and  plans  are  now  in  preparation  for  a  100-bed  addition.  A  nurses'  home 
was  erected  in  1920  at  a  cost  of  $70,000. 

The  number  of  patients  cared  for  in  1921  was  4,363.  The  average  per- 
centage of  charity  work  annually  has  been  fifteen  per  cent  of  the  total  work. 
Seventy  per  cent  of  the  hospital  beds  are  furnished  to  patients  at  less  than 
the  cost  of  maintenance.

CHICAGO     MATERNITY     HOSPITAL 

In  1893  the  Chicago  Maternity  Hospital  and  Training  School  for  Nurses 
was  organized  by  the  directors  of  the  Children's  Aid  Society  of  Chicago. 
Among  the  directors  were  Harvey  B.  Hurd,  president ;  Jennie  L.  Wood, 
secretary ;  Dr.  Sarah  Hackett  Stevenson,  Mrs.  Catherine  Waugh  McCulloch 
and  Dr.  Effa  V.  Davis. 

The  hospital  was  opened  May  30,  1894,  and  continued  under  the  control  of 
the  Children's  Aid  Society  until  1897,  when  it  became  independent  under  its 
own  state  charter.  Dr.  Sarah  Hackett  Stevenson  became  president  of  the 
hospital  association,  of  which  there  were  twelve  directors.  Among  these 
were  the  late  Mrs.  Potter  Palmer,  Mrs.  Amelia  Shonts,  Mrs.  Emily  Gross  and 
Mrs.  Frank  O.  Lowden.

In  1904  the  hospital  organization  was  disbanded  and  Dr.  Effa  V.  Davis 
took  over  the  institution  and  has  since  conducted  it  as  her  private  enterprise. 

Only  maternity  cases  and  infant  feeding  cases  are  admitted  to  the  hospital, 
whose  ideal  from  the  beginning  has  been  to  teach  young  mothers  the  care 
of  babies  and  to  keep  the  mother  and  baby  together. 

During  its  first  year  the  hospital  cared  for  fifty  patients,  this  number 
gradually  being  increased  to  150  in  1921.  The  original  number  of  ten  beds 
has  been  increased  to  twenty-two. 

The  Chicago  Maternity  Hospital  was  the  first  institution  in  the  middle 
west  ,to  establish  a  training  school  for  infants'  nurses,  or  "nursery  maids," 
as  they  were  called.  It  is  the  third  oldest  school  of  its  kind  in  the  United 
States.

GARFIELD  PARK  HOSPITAL 

The  Garfield  Park  Hospital  had  its  origin  in  1893,  when  it  was  opened  as 
a  neurological  sanitarium  by  Dr.  H.  P.  Skiles.  In  1900  he  enlarged  the  in- 
stitution and  it  became  a  general  hospital. 

The  hospital  remained  under  the  ownership  of  Dr.  Skiles  until  the  fall 
of  1919,  when  it  was  taken  over  by  a  corporation  of  physicians,  including 
Doctors  George  C.  Amerson,  Lucius  B.  Phelps,  Leonard  C.  Schulze  and  John 
J.  Pflock.  It  was  then  reorganized  and  thoroughly  equipped.  At  the  present 
time,  plans  are  under  way  for  a  large  modern  building. 

The  hospital  admits  all  kinds  of  cases  except  mental  and  contagious. 
There  are  now  seventy  beds.  During  1921  the  number  of  patients  cared  for 
was  2,771.

ST.    MARY    OF    NAZARETH    HOSPITAL 
1120   North    Leavitt    Street 

ST.     MARY     OF     NAZARETH     HOSPITAL 

With  the  immense  increase  in  the  Polish  population  of  Chicago  in  the  early 
nineties  there  arose,  proportionately,  a  demand  for  an  institution  that  could 
take  care  of  the  ailing  of  that  nationality  in  an  institution  conducted  by 
their  own  people. 

The  work  of  organizing  and  maintaining  such  a  hospital  was  intrusted  to 
the  Sisters  of  the  Holy  Family  of  Nazareth,  then  the  only  purely  Polish  com- 
munity of  the  Roman  Catholic  church. 

On  May  1,  1894,  Mother  Mary  Lauretta,  the  Provincial,  called  a  meeting  of 
the  following:  Doctors  Midowicz,  Janczewski,  Cerniewski,  Lande  and 
Kuflewski.  Mothers  Lauretta,  Paul  and  Columba  were  in  attendance.  At 
this  meeting  the  urgent  need  of  a  hospital  was  presented  and  Mother  Lauretta 
stated  that  she  had  a  residence  in  view  that  she  could  procure  for  the  use  of  a 
hospital.  Everyone  present  agreed  to  aid  the  project. 

After  appropriate  dedicatory  ceremonies  a  twenty-four  bed  hospital  at 
258  West  Division  Street  was  opened  May  6,  1894. 

The  first  chief  of  staff  was  Dr.  Charles  Gilbert-Davis.  He  was  assisted  by 
Doctors  F.  J.  Laibe,  George  Mueller  and  W.  A.  Kuflewski.  After  the  staff 
was  organized  Dr.  Davis  resigned  and  Dr.  A.  J.  Ochsner  took  his  place. 

The  rapid  increase  of  patients  compelled  the  Sisters  to  buy  a  neighboring 
house  and  in  this  way  they  were  able  to  accommodate  twenty  more  patients. 

After  six  years  of  effort  the  Sisters  determined  to  build  and  equip  a  new 
hospital,  the  permission  for  this  purpose  having  been  granted  April  20,  1900. 

The  new  site  is  the  block  bounded  by  North  Leavitt  Street,  Haddon  Avenue, 
Thomas  Street  and  Oakley  Boulevard.  The  corner  stone  of  the  hospital  was 
laid  June  16,  1901,  and  on  March  19,  1902,  the  institution  was  opened. 

The  building  is  a  fire-proof  structure  fronting  on  North  Leavitt  Street. 

All  classes  of  patients  are  admitted  to  the  hospital  except  tubercular  and 
contagious.  The  number  of  cases  cared  for  during  1921  was  4,960.  Of  these 
about  ten  per  cent  were  charity  patients.

CHICAGO    LYING-IN    HOSPITAL  MOTHERS'    AID    PAVILION 

426    East    Fifty-first    Street 

CHICAGO     LYING-IN     HOSPITAL 

The  Chicago  Lying-in  Hospital  and  Dispensary,  the  second  largest  of  its 
kind  in  the  United  States,  was  founded  in  1895  by  Dr.  Joseph  B.  De  Lee. 

The  dispensary  was  started  first  on  February  14,  1895,  in  a  tenement  house 
at  the  corner  of  Maxwell  Street  and  Newberry  Avenue,  where  it  occupied  four 
rooms.  Dr.  De  Lee  took  up  his  residence  there  and  the  new  institution  was 
supported  by  funds  contributed  by  his  friends. 

The  objects  of  the  institution,  as  stated  in  its  first  charter  issued  in  January, 
1897,  were  "to  provide  proper  medical  care  for  poor  women  during  confine- 
ment at  their  own  homes,  to  establish  and  maintain  a  hospital  for  the  care  of 
such  pregnant  women  as  are  without  homes  or  need  hospital  care  during  con- 
finement, to  instruct  students  of  medicine  in  the  art  of  midwifery  and  to  train 
nurses  in  the  care  of  women  during  confinement." 

The  dispensary  in  Maxwell  Street  took  care  of  poor  women  during  confine- 
ment in  their  own  homes  and  it  trained  doctors  and  nurses  in  the  art  of  ob- 
stetrics. Its  work  grew  rapidly  from  217  cases  the  first  year  until  nearly  2,500 
women  and  babies  were  being  treated  annually.  More  than  200  students  and 
doctors  received  instruction  each  year. 

On  September  2,  1899,  a  lying-in  hospital  was  established  in  an  old  resi- 
dence at  what  is  now  515  South  Ashland  Boulevard.  In  1901  the  dispensary 
was  housed  in  a  new  building  on  the  opposite  corner  of  Maxwell  Street.  This 
cost  $15,000  and  was  made  possible  by  an  initial  donation  of  $5,000  from  Mrs. 
A.  Slimmer  of  Waverly,  Iowa. 

It  was  in  1901  also  that  the  professorial  heads  of  the  departments  of  obstet- 
trics  of  the  three  large  medical  schools  of  Chicago  were  invited  to  form  the 
medical  staff  and  directors  of  the  rapidly  expanding  institution.  They  were 
Dr.  J.  C.  Webster  of  Rush  Medical  College,  Dr.  Frank  B.  Earle  of  the  College 
of  Physicians  and  Surgeons  and  Dr.  Joseph  B.  De  Lee  of  Northwestern  Uni- 
versity Medical  School,  already  incumbent. 

At  the  present  time  Dr.  Frank  Cary,  Dr.  Charles  S.  Bacon,  and  Dr.  De  Lee 
comprise  the  senior  staff  and  a  large  board  of  men  and  women  manages  the 
affairs  of  the  numerous  departments.

In  1905  a  branch  dispensary  was  opened  in  connection  with  the  Provident 
Hospital  to  care  for  poor  colored  women  in  their  own  homes. 

In  November,  1914,  the  hospital  in  Ashland  Boulevard  was  closed  and  the 
first  building  of  the  new  hospital  group  was  opened  at  Fifty-first  Street  and 
Vincennes  Avenue.  This  building  was  opened  by  the  Mothers'  Aid  Club.  It 
cost  about  $100,000  and  had  a  bed  capacity  of  35  patients. 

In  1915  a  branch  dispensary  was  established  at  Forty-seventh  Street  and 
Emerald  Avenue  for  the  care  of  women  of  the  Stock  Yards  district. 

The  main  building  of  the  lying-in  institution  was  opened  to  the  public  on 
August  15,  1917.  This  seven-story  structure  accommodates  124  mothers  and 
109  babies.  At  the  same  time  the  smaller  building,  called  the  Mothers'  Aid 
Pavilion,  became  a  special  hospital  for  the  reception  of  complicated  and  des- 
perate maternity  cases  such  as  are  unwelcome  in  the  general  hospitals  of  the 
city. 

In  1919  two  large  apartment  houses  were  acquired  and  remodeled  into  a 
home  for  nurses  with  capacity  of  100. 

The  institution  as  it  stands  today  is  the  second  largest  maternity  hospital 
in  the  United  States.  It  treats  between  2,300  and  2,500  obstetric  cases  and 
more  than  200  gynecologic  cases  each  year  in  its  hospitals.  Ten  per  cent  of 
these  are  free,  56  per  cent  are  part  pay  and  34  per  cent  full  pay.  It  treats  an- 
nually 1,400  to  2,000  maternity  cases  at  homes,  to  which  doctors  and  nurses 
are  sent.  Practically  all  of  these  cases  are  free.  It  gives  225  medical  stu- 
dents and  25  physicians  practical  courses  on  obstetrics  and  grounds  them  well 
in  its  science  and  art  each  year.  It  trains  100  nurses  annually,  giving  them 
four  months'  intensive  obstetric  practice  and  instruction  in  the  care  of  babies 
and  in  gynecology. 

The  institution  also  maintains  a  social  service  department. 

The  hospital  and  dispensary  are  maintained  by  contributions  from  the  pub- 
lic, annual  memberships,  endowments,  patients'  fees  and  students'  tuition  fees. 
On  occasion  deficits  have  been  supplied  by  balls  and  public  entertainments. 

In  the  first  year  the  cost  of  running  the  dispensary  was  $1,250  and  the  as- 
sets were  about  $200.  The  cost  of  maintaining  all  the  properties  in  1920  was 
$250,414.26.  Their  value  and  the  endowments  totaled  $1,250,000.

Hospital  was  granted  December  18,  1895,  to  Doctors  Charles  F.  Swan,  H. 
W.  Bernard  and  E.  M.  Webster  and  Rev.  George  H.  Bird.  Management  of 
the  corporation  was  vested  in  a  board  of  directors  composed  of  the  follow- 
ing: E.  F.  Williams,  M.  D.,  Rev.  George  H.  Bird,  Charles  E.  Bacon,  Charles 
F.  Swan,  M.  D.,  E.  M.  Webster,  M.  D.,  A,  W.  McLaughlin,  M.  D.,  and 
H.  W.  Bernard,  M.  D. 

Early  in  1900  a  site  known  as  the  Clark  residence  in  Ninety-second  Place 
was  purchased.  The  building  was  remodeled  and  opened  as  a  hospital 
October  17,  1900.  Its  capacity  was  fifteen  beds.  In  1907  two  additional 
lots  were  purchased  adjoining  the  old  hospital  and  the  present  structure  was 
built  at  a  cost  of  $25,000.  Its  capacity  is  thirty-five  beds  and  five  cribs. 

A  training  school  for  nurses  is  operated  in  connection  with  the  hospital. 
Plans  are  under  consideration  for  the  erection  of  a  new  hospital  to  cost 
$400,000.

HOSPITAL  OF  ST.  ANTHONY 

d  e  PADUA 

In  November,  1896,  the  members  of  an  association  of  Franciscan  Sisters  of 
the  Sacred  Heart  opened  a  hospital  in  the  congested  district  in  South  Halsted 
Street  as  this  area  was  much  in  need  of  hospital  facilities.  The  hospital  oc- 
cupied temporary  quarters  on  the  upper  floors  of  a  large  business  block  and 
was  known  as  St.  Agnes  Hospital. 

In  June,  1897,  the  site  of  the  present  hospital  was  purchased  and  the  follow- 
ing November  the  erection  of  the  present  building  was  begun.  The  corner 
stone  was  laid  November  7,  1897.  The  building  was  a  five-story,  fire-proof 
structure  and  accommodated  seventy-five  patients.  The  hospital  was  dedi- 
cated on  August  28,  1898,  having  in  the  meantime  been  chartered  under  the 
name  of  St.  Anthony  de  Padua.  Patients  were  received  in  October;  1898. 

In  1908  the  capacity  of  the  hospital  was  more  than  doubled.  A  new  modern 
fire-proof  pavilion  and  dormitories  for  the  Sisters,  a  chapel,  a  new  kitchen  and

WEST    SIDE     HOSPITAL     OF     CHICAGO 

The  West  Side  Hospital  of  Chicago,  located  on  the  northeast  corner  of 
Harrison  and  Lincoln  streets,  opposite  the  Cook  County  Hospital,  was  organ- 
ized as  a  corporation  for  profit  on  January  30,  1896.  The  first  subscribers  to 
its  capital  stock  were  Drs.  T.  A.  Davis,  D.  A.  K.  Steele,  John  B.  Murphy, 
Charles  Davison,  Edward  W.  Lee,  S.  G.  West,  H.  P.  Newman  and  George 
N.  Lyman.  A  few  months  later,  Dr.  Boerne  Bettman,  Dr.  John  J.  Morrisey, 
Dr.  Alex.  Wiener,  Dr.  Ralph  Michel,  Dr.  W.  L.  Noble  and  Dr.  George  W. 
Newton  had  secured  stock  and  were  appointed  on  the  staff  of  the  hospital. 

Doctors  Murphy,  Davison,  Davis,  West  and  Steele  constituted  the  first 
board  of  directors  in  1896.  Dr.  Steele  was  chosen  president;  Dr.  Murphy, 
vice-president;  Dr.  Davis,  secretary,  and  Dr.  Davison,  treasurer. 

At  the  annual  meeting  in  1898,  Dr.  Noble  was  elected  to  the  board  of 
directors,  succeeding  Dr.  Davis.  During  the  next  two  years,  the  fourth  and 
fifth  floors  of  the  hospital  were  completed  and  equipped,  additional  land 
extending  to  Lincoln  Street  was  secured;  and  the  staff  was  increased  by 
addition  of  Dr.  F.  S.  Hartmann,  Dr.  Henry  P.  Conley  and  Dr.  T.  J.  Conley. 

In  1910,  Dr.  John  S.  Nagel  succeeded  Dr.  T.  J.  Conley  as  treasurer  and 
two  years  later  the  Grace  Hospital  was  absorbed  by  the  West  Side  Hospital. 
The  same  year  the  new  fire-proof  six-story  building  was  erected,  making 
the  total  capacity  of  the  hospital  150  beds. 

The  West  Side  Hospital  has  always  maintained  a  standard  training  school 
for  nurses,  and  in  one  wing  of  the  hospital  is  located  its  outpatient  depart- 
ment and  the  Illinois  Post-Graduate  Medical  School.  The  hospital  through- 
out its  entire  existence  has  always  maintained  a  post-graduate  and  under- 
graduate teaching  department  conducted  by  the  various  members  of  the  staff. 

The  West  Side  Hospital  of  Chicago  has  the  distinction  of  being  the  first 
hospital  in  the  city  of  Chicago  owned  and  conducted  by  physicians  and  sur- 
geons.

LUTHERAN   DEACONESS   HOME   AND    HOSPITAL 

1138    North    Leavitt    Street 


LUTHERAN  DEACONESS  HOME  AND 
HOSPITAL 

To  establish  a  Deaconess  Home  and  Hospital,  the  Norwegian  Lutheran 
Deaconess  Society  was  organized  February  17,  1896.  The  society  was  incor- 
porated September  17  of  the  same  year,  the  incorporators  being  Reverend 
A.  C.  Anderson,  Adolph  Larson  and  Dr.  N.  T.  Quales.  The  Norwegian 
Lutheran  Deaconess  Home  and  Hospital  was  established  May  1,  1897,  in 
two  rented  buildings  at  North  Artesian  Avenue  and  Le  Moyne  Street.  The 
plant  comprised  twenty-five  rooms  and  was  operated  at  this  location  until 
May  24,  1903. 

In  the  spring  of  1900  the  deaconess  society  bought  property  at  the  corner 
of  Leavitt  Street  and  Haddon  Avenue  and  upon  this  site  the  nucleus  of  the 
present  establishment  was  erected.  It  had  a  capacity  of  fifty  beds  and  was 
opened  for  the  reception  of  patients  May  24,  1903. 

In  November,  1904,  all  the  property  of  the  Norwegian  Lutheran  Deacon- 
ess Society  was  conveyed  to  the  United  Norwegian  Lutheran  Church  of 
North  America.  Since  then  the  church  has  elected  a  board  of  directors  for 
the  institution,  who  are  entrusted  with  the  administration  of  its  affairs.  A 
second  addition  to  the  hospital,  which  brought  the  total  accommodation  for 
patients  up  to  one  hundred,  was  dedicated  November  20,  1910,  and  present 
plans  provide  for  additions  which  will  raise  the  total  capacity  for  patients 
to  250. 

In  1920  the  synod  decided  to  drop  the  designation  "Norwegian"  from  the 
name  of  the  institution  so  that  its  appellation  now  is  the  Lutheran  Dea- 
coness Home  and  Hospital. 

In  its  first  year  the  hospital,  while  located  in  North  Artesian  Avenue, 
cared  for  102  patients.  In  1921  it  cared  for  2,997  patients.

Since  its  establishment  the  hospital  has  been  conducted  and  owned  by 
Dr.  Gary.  Dr.  Gary  is  a  graduate  of  the  medical  department  of  Northwestern 
University.  After  he  received  his  degree  he  began  practice  in  the  densely 
populated  district  of  which  Archer  Avenue  and  Twenty-second  Street  was 
the  center.  His  office  was  in  the  building  which,  in  1897,  he  transformed 
into  hospital  quarters. 

In  1906  plans  for  a  new  hospital  were  broached,  and  were  consummated 
in  1911,  when  a  $60,000  structure  was  erected  on  the  site  of  the  former 
institution. 

The  building  is  four  stories  high,  40  by  100  feet,  of  brick  construction  and 
fireproof  throughout.  The  hospital  has  a  capacity  of  fifty  beds. 

Since  its  beginning  the  hospital  has  received  more  than  10,000  bed  cases 
and  20,000  personal  injury  cases.

JOHN     McCORMICK     INSTITUTE     FOR 
INFECTIOUS     DISEASES     AND     THE 
DURAND     HOSPITAL 

The  John  McCormick  Institute  for  Infectious  Diseases  was  founded  by 
Harold  F.  McCormick  and  Edith  Rockefeller  McCormick,  January  2,  1902. 
The  full  original  name  was  "The  Memorial  Institute  for  Infectious  Diseases, 
founded  in  memory  of  John  Rockefeller  McCormick" ;  in  1918  the  name  was 
changed  to  the  present  form. 

The  following  persons  secured  the  incorporation  of  the  Institute  under 
the  laws  of  the  State  of  Illinois  and  constituted  the  first  Board  of  Trustees : 
Doctors  Frank  Billings,  Christian  Fenger  and  Ludvig  Hektoen  and  Messrs. 
Charles  L.  Hutchinson  and  Stanley  McCormick.  In  the  articles  of  incor- 
poration the  object  of  the  Institute  is  stated  to  be  "the  study  and  treatment 
of  scarlet  fever  and  other  acute  infectious  diseases  and  the  investigation  of 
allied  problems." 

Early  in  1902  work  was  commenced  in  the  laboratory  building  of  Rush 
Medical  College  at  1743  West  Harrison  Street,  Chicago,  the  first  floor  of 
which  was  fitted  up  with  a  simple  equipment  for  bacteriological  and  patho- 
logical investigations.  The  first  staff  consisted  of  Doctors  Ludvig  Hektoen, 
George  H.  Weaver,  Alice  Hamilton  and  George  F.  Ruediger.

Simultaneously,  an  arrangement  was  made  with  the  Presbyterian  Hos- 
pital of  Chicago  for  the  establishment  of  a  small  hospital  for  scarlet  fever. 
This  hospital  was  conducted  for  about  three  years,  when  the  buildings  it 
occupied  were  removed  to  make  room  for  a  new  pavilion  of  the  Presbyterian 
Hospital. 

In  the  meantime,  efforts  were  made  by  the  Trustees  of  the  Institute  to 
secure  a  suitable  location  for  building  a  hospital  for  infectious,  diseases.  In 
1904  Mr.  Otto  Young,  who  died  soon  afterwards,  gave  to  the  Institute  the 
larger  part  of  a  vacant  block  just  west  of  Washington  Park  in  Chicago,  and 
anticipating  the  erection  of  buildings  on  this  land,  the  Institute  purchased 
the  remainder  of  the  block.  On  account  of  the.  opposition  by  owners  of 
surrounding  property  and  of  the  hostile  attitude  of  the  City  Council  of 
Chicago,  this  plan  was  abandoned  and  the  property  sold. 

After  the  death  of  Dr.  Christian  Fenger  in  1902,  Dr.  Llewellys  F.  Baricer 
was  elected  trustee ;  and  the  vacancy  on  the  board  created  by  Dr.  Barker's 
removal  to  Baltimore  in  1908  was  filled  by  the  election  of  Dr.  James  B. 
Herrick.

DURAND    HOSPITAL 

In  March,  1911,  an  affiliation  was  entered  into  by  the  Institute  with  the 
Northern  Trust  Company  of  Chicago,  as  Trustee  under  the  will  of  Mrs. 
Annie  W.  Durand,  pursuant  to  a  decree  of  court  giving  a  construction  of  the 
will.  Under  this  decree  and  a  supplemental  decree  the  Northern  Trust 
Company,  as  Trustee,  agreed  to  erect  on  ground  furnished  by  the  Institute 
a  hospital  to  cost  $200,000  and  to  be  known  as  the  Annie  W.  Durand  Hos- 
pital of  the  Memorial  Institute  for  Infectious  Diseases.  The  Institute  agreed 
to  conduct  the  Durand  Hospital  with  a  minimum  eventually  fixed  at  forty 
beds  for  the  free  care  of  poor  persons  suffering  with  infectious  diseases. 
The  contract  of  affiliation,  which  runs  for  ninety-nine  years,  further  provides 
that  the  net  income  from  funds  placed  in  the  hands  of  the  Northern  Trust 
Company  by  the  will  of  Mrs.  Annie  W.  Durand  shall  be  used  for  defrayal 
of  the  cost  of  running  the  Durand  Hospital  and  that  any  and  all  deficiency 
shall  be  made  good  by  the  Institute. 


306  HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO 

The  City  Council  of  Chicago  on  March  6,  1911,  relinquished  all  claims  to 
a  fund  of  $75,000  given  by  Mrs.  Annie  W.  Durand  for  a  public  bathhouse, 
in  order  that  this  money  might  also  be  used  for  hospital  purposes  according 
to  the  general  provisions  of  the  contract  just  mentioned.  In  order  to  pro- 
vide sites  for  the  Durand  Hospital  and  for  other  buildings,  the  Institute 
secured  the  larger  part  of  the  block  bounded  by  Harrison,  Wood  and 
Flournoy  streets  and  Hermitage  Avenue,  at  a  cost  of  $152,000. 

During  1912  a  modern,  fireproof  hospital  building  and  powerhouse  were 
erected  by  the  Northern  Trust  Company  on  the  corner  of  Wood  and  Flour- 
noy streets  according  to  plans  by  Mr.  C.  S.  Frost  of  Chicago.  The  formal 
opening  took  place  February  27,  1913,  and  patients  were  received  immediately 
afterwards. 

During  the  following  year,  a  laboratory  was  built,  also  according  to  plans 
by  Mr.  Frost,  at  a  cost  of  approximately  $100,000.  The  laboratory  stands 
just  north  of  the  Durand  Hospital,  and  is  connected  with  it  on  the  second 
and  third  floors  by  means  of  an  enclosed  gallery.  Both  buildings  are  served 
by  the  same  power-house  and  laundry.  The  transfer  of  the  work  to  the 
new  laboratory  from  the  temporary  quarters  at  1743  West  Harrison  Street 
was  made  in  May,  1914. 

As  the  present  laboratory  and  hospital  buildings  occupy  only  about  one- 
third  of  the  ground  owned  by  the  Institute  in  the  block  described,  abundant 
space  is  available  for  additional  buildings. 

In  1912,  Mr.  Harold  F.  McCormick  gave  to  the  institute  a  farm  at  Lom- 
bard, Illinois,  to  be  used  for  the  breeding  of  laboratory  animals  and  the 
supplying  of  farm  products.  Owing  to  the  growth  of  the  village  of  Lombard 
this  land  was  sold. 

In  addition  to  the  gift  of  Mr.  Otto  Young  of  land  valued  at  $100,000, 
gifts  have  been  received  also  from  Madam  Cyrus  H.  McCormick. 

At  the  present  time,  the  total  resources  of  the  Institute,  including  the 
Durand  Hospital  and  Fund,  amount  to  nearly  $2,000,000,  the  larger  part 
of  which  has  been  contributed  by  the  founders. 

The  purpose  of  the  Institute  is  to  advance  the  knowledge  of  infectious 
diseases  in  order  to  improve  the  methods  of  prevention  and  cure  and  also 
to  care  for  patients  suffering  from  certain  common,  acute,  infectious  dis- 
eases. To  this  end,  the  work  of  the  laboratory  and  of  the  hospital  has  been 
coordinated  and  unified  so  as  to  secure  the  most  complete  cooperation 
possible. 

The  laboratory  building  is  a  fireproof  structure  of  four  stories  and  a  base- 
ment which  is  half  above  ground.  The  general  equipment  is  essentially 
that  required  for  bacteriological,  immunological  and  pathological  investiga- 
tions. No  provisioji  is  made  for  formal  instruction.  Persons,  who  give  prom- 
ise of  making  good  use  of  the  opportunity,  may  be  appointed  as  volunteer 
workers.  Ordinarily,  regular  full-time  appointments  on  the  staff  with 
stipend  are  made  only  as  vacancies  occur. 

The  Durand  Hospital  is  a  fireproof  structure  of  four  stories,  sunrooms 
and  roof  garden,  and  a  basement  one-half  of  which  is  above  ground.  The 
hospital  has  been  specially  designed  for  the  care  of  acute,  infectious  diseases. 

Under  the  contract  between  the  Institute  and  the  Northern  Trust  Com- 
pany, as  Trustee  under  the  will  of  Mrs.  Annie  W.  Durand,  no  charge  can 
be  made  to  patients  for  the  care  and  treatment  in  the  Durand  Hospital.

According  to  this  contract  only  poor  patients  can  be  admitted.  At  present 
patients  with  diphtheria,  scarlet  fever,  measles,  and  other  acute  infectious 
diseases  ordinarily  classed  as  contagious  are  received.  The  Health  Depart- 
ment of  the  City  of  Chicago  determines  the  question  of  admissibility  and 
brings  the  patients  to  the  hospital. 

The  Serum  Division  was  established  in  1905  by  the  cooperation  of  Dr. 
E.  O.  Jordan,  who  was  in  charge  of  the  work,  with  the  Institute.  The  pur- 
pose of  this  division  was  the  production  of  diphtheria  antitoxin  and  its  sale  to 
the  public  at  cost  as  well  as  the  provision  of  possibilities  for  work  with  large 
animals.  About  100,000,000  antitoxin  units  were  distributed  annually.  Its 
purpose  being  accomplished  when  the  city  and  state  furnished  antitoxin  free 
to  those  unable  to  pay  for  it,  the  Division  was  discontinued. 

In  1904,  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Harold  F.  McCormick  made  it  possible  to  establish 
the  Journal  of  Infectious  Diseases,  which  is  devoted  to  the  publication  of 
the  results  of  investigations  in  the  field  indicated  by  its  name.  It  aims  to 
occupy  a  special  field  and  to  include  only  such  contributions  as  bear  with 
reasonable  directness  upon  the  topics  indicated  in  the  title.  The  biology 
and  chemistry  of  the  various  pathogenic  microorganisms,  the  physiology 
and  anatomy  of  the  morbid  processes  that  they  initiate,  and  the  hygienic 
and  sanitary  problems  to  which  they  give  rise  are  considered  to  be  espe- 
cially within  the  scope  of  the  undertaking. 

The  Journal  is  published  bi-monthly.  Two  volumes  are  issued  each  year, 
and  each  volume  contains  approximately  500  pages. 

Since  the  foundation  of  the  Institute,  Dr.  Ludvig  Hektoen  has  been  its 
director,  and  Dr.  George  H.  Weaver  has  been  physician-in-charge  of  the 
Durand  Hospital  since  its  organization.

St.  Bernard's  Hotel  Dieu  Hospital  was  organized  in  1903  by  the  Rev. 
Bernard  P.  Murray  and  Sisters  Annie  Hopkins,  Elizabeth  Norris,  Mary  of 
the  Sacred  Heart,  Helen  Jarrell  and  G.  Leahy.  It  was  opened  November 
21,  1903,  and  has  since  been  under  the  control  of  the  order  of  the  Religious 
Hospitalers  of  St.  Joseph. 

Opening  with  thirty  beds,  the  hospital  by  various  additions  has  increased 
its  capacity  to  200  beds.  During  the  first  year  1,200  patients  were  admitted, 
and  in  1921  the  number  of  patients  cared  for  was  6,894.  One  hundred  and 
eight  of  the  first  year's  patients  were  considered  as  charity  cases,  and  in 
1921  there  were  752  charity  cases,  of  which  412  paid  in  part. 

In  recent  years  a  modern  nurses'  home,  accommodating  seventy-five 
nurses,  has  been  built.  The  hospital  is  crowded  to  its  capacity,  and  a  re- 
quest for  a  new  wing  has  been  made  by  the  medical  staff.

The  hospital  is  a  public  institution  and  admits,  generally  speaking,  all 
cases  except  those  of  a  contagious  nature.  The  hospital  has  a  capacity  of 
forty  beds.  During  the  year  from  September  1,  1920,  to  September  1,  1921, 
1,082  patients  were  admitted.  A  nurses'  training  school  is  maintained. 
Chanty  work  is  performed  in  proportion  to  the  bed  capacity  and  the  needs 
of  worthy  individuals. 

A  deaconess  home  costing  $145,000  was  erected  at  the  corner  of  Wis- 
consin Street  and  Hudson  Avenue  and  was  dedicated  September  20,  1921. 
It  is  exceptionally  well  equipped.  At  the  present  time  plans  for  a  new

The  Oak  Park  Hospital  Association  was  organized  October  1,  1905,  by  a 
group  of  Oak  Park  doctors.  The  chairman  of  the  committee  in  charge  of 
the  preliminary  work  was  Dr.  John  W.  Tope.  Dr.  Tope  effected  arrange- 
ments with  the  Sisters  of  Misericorde  of  Montreal,  whereby  the  latter  were 
to  conduct  a  hospital  to  be  known  as  the  Oak  Park  Hospital  and  Training 
School  for  Nurses  of  the  Sisters  of  Misericorde. 

The  corner  stone  of  the  institution  was  laid  July  2,  1906,  and  in  the  begin- 
ning of  March,  1907,  the  hospital  was  opened  for  the  reception  of  patients. 

The  first  president  of  the  hospital  association  and  also  the  superior  of  the 
hospital  was  Mother  St.  Lawrence.  Dr.  Tope,  now  deceased,  was  the  first 
chief  of  the  Oak  Park  Hospital  staff.  The  institution  is  private  and  for  the

EDWARD    SANATORIUM    OF    CHICAGO    TUBERCULOSIS    INSTITUTE 
Main    Building — Naperville,    111. 


HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO  313 

THE  CHICAGO  TUBERCULOSIS  INSTITUTE 

The  Chicago  Tuberculosis  Institute  was  organized  January  27,  1906,  and 
was  regularly  incorporated  March  17,  1906.  It  came  into  being  as  the  result 
of  the  anti-tuberculosis  campaign  of  the  Chicago  Visiting  Nurse  Association 
during  the  three  previous  years. 

The  objects  for  which  the  Institute  was  organized  were:  The  prevention 
and  treatment  of  consumption  and  other  forms  of  tuberculosis  by  the  fol- 
lowing methods : 

1.  The  collection  and  dissemination  of  exact  knowledge  in  regard  to  the 
causes,  prevention  and  cure  of  the  disease. 

2.  The  promotion  of  legislative  and  other  measures  for  the  improvement 
of  living  conditions. 

3.  The  treatment  of  the  tuberculous  in  dispensaries,  clinics,  sanatoria  or 
in  such  other  institutions  as  may  be  established  for  that  purpose  or  by  such 
other  means  as  may  be  considered  feasible  and  desirable. 

The  first  principal  activity  of  the  Institute  was  the  establishment  of  the 
open  air  camp  (Camp  Norwood)  on  the  grounds  of  the  County  Hospital  for 
Consumptives  at  Dunning.  At  this  place,  from  September  1,  1906,  to  March 
31,  1907,  twenty  patients  were  successfully  treated  in  the  open  air.  This 
was  the  first  demonstration  that  good  results  could  be  obtained  in  *he  treat- 
ment of  pulmonary  tuberculosis  in  the  Chicago  climate.  The  physicians  in 
charge  of  this  work  were  Dr.  Theodore  B.  Sachs  and  Dr.  Ethan  Allen  Gray. 
Directly  following  the  close  of  Camp  Norwood  came  the  donation  by  Mrs. 
Keith  Spalding  to  the  Institute  of  the  newly  erected  Edward  Sanatorium. 
Dr.  Sachs  was  placed  in  sole  charge  of  the  institution,  whose  director  he 
remained  until  his  death  in  1916. 

The  Sanatorium  is  located  at  Naperville,  Du  Page  County,  Illinois,  and 
accommodates  115  patients.  It  now  takes  patients  in  all  but  the  very  far 
advanced  stages  of  tuberculosis.  Succeeding  Dr.  Sachs  in  the  direction  of 
the  Sanatorium  were  Dr.  O.  W.  McMichael,  Dr.  Herbert  W.  Gray,  Dr. 
Wilson  Ruffin  Abbott  and  the  present  incumbent,  Dr.  James  A.  Britton. 

In  1907  a  chain  of  dispensaries  was  established  under  the  direction  of  Dr. 
Ethan  A.  Gray.  These  dispensaries  offered  treatment,  advice  and  other 
assistance  to  needy  consumptives.  The  dispensary  system  was  transferred 
to  the  Municipal  Tuberculosis  Sanitarium  in  1910. 

The  Institute  took  an  active  part  in  the  securing  of  the  "Glackin  Law," 
which  provides  for  the  establishing  of  tuberculosis  sanatoria  in  municipali- 
ties in  Illinois.  This  last  mentioned  work  and  the  erection,  subsequently, 
of  the  Municipal  Tuberculosis  Sanitarium  in  Chicago,  must  be  placed,  in 
largest  measure,  to  the  credit  of  Dr.  Sachs. 

Further,  the  Institute  has  conducted  outdoor  schools,  supplied  milk  to 
under-nourished  school  children  and  has  made,  through  its  committee  on 
factories,  a  study  of  working  conditions  in  Chicago;  it  has  established  and 
supported  the  Robert  Koch  Society  for  the  Study  of  Tuberculosis;  it  made, 
in  1912,  a  survey  of  conditions  in  the  tuberculosis  institutions  of  Cook 
County,  with  the  result  that  adequate  provision  was  made  for  the  care  of 
tuberculous  patients  in  these  public  hospitals  for  the  first  time  in  the  history 
of  the  country. 

More  lately,  the  Institute  has  established  a  nursing  service  in  Cook  County 
outside  the  city  of  Chicago.  The  nurses  of  this  service,  while  ostensibly 
tuberculosis  nurses,  are  more  nearly  public  health  nurses,  for  their  work 


314 


HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO 


has  broadened  to  such  an  extent  that  the  staff  is  called  upon  to  render  other 
service  than  that  pertaining  exclusively  to  tuberculosis.  The  Institute  has 
always  held  that  among  its  important  duties  is  that  of  spreading  the  knowl- 
edge and  gospel  of  health.  To  this  end  innumerable  talks,  discussions, 
lecture  courses  and  exhibitions  have  been  given  to  the  general  public.  Most 
important  have  been  the  lecture  courses  to  nurses  directed  by  Mrs.  Theo- 
dore B.  Sachs. 

In  the  first  years  of  its  existence  the  Institute  was  supported  by  con- 
tributions; however,  since  1908  the  Christmas  Seal  sale  has  supplied  suffi- 
cient funds  for  its  maintenance. 

The  present  president  of  the  Institute  is  Dr.  Thomas  E.  Roberts.  Former 
presidents  have  been  Doctors  Frank  Billings,  who  served  from  the  date  of 
organization  until  January,  1907;  Henry  B.  Favill  (January,  1907,  to  Janu- 
ary, 1913),  Theodore  B.  Sachs  (January,  1913,  to  April,  1916),  Robert  H. 
Babcock  (April,  1916,  to  January,  1921),  and  Ethan  Allen  Gray  (January, 
1921,  to  January,  1922). 

Among  others  who  have  taken  an  active  part  in  the  affairs  of  the  Institute 
are  Doctors  Arnold  Klebs,  William  E.  Quine,  William  A.  Evans,  Edwin  W. 
Ryerson,  John  Ritter,  Stephen  R.  Pietrowicz  and  Clarence  L.  Wheaton  and

GERMAN     EVANGELICAL     DEACONESS 
HOSPITAL 

The  German  Evangelical  Deaconess  Hospital  is  operated  by  the  Evangeli- 
cal Deaconess  Society  of  Illinois,  which  was  organized  in  June,  1906,  and 
incorporated  under  the  laws  of  Illinois  in  September  of  the  same  year.  The 
doors  of  the  present  hospital  were  opened  August  15,  1911. 

The  first  trustees  were  the  Reverend  Messrs.  B.  C.  Ott,  L.  Kohlmann, 
Herman  Mueller  and  P.  Foerster  and  Mr.  F.  Kressman. 


315 


The  institution  is  now  controlled  by  the  Northern  Illinois  District  Con- 
ference of  the  German  Evangelical  Synod  of  North  America.  The  'hospital 
is  open  to  the  public  at  large;  all  patients  except  those  suffering  from  con- 
tagious diseases  are  received. 

A  nurses'  home  was  built  in  1914.  It  was  enlarged  three  years  later  and 
accommodates  forty-one  nurses. 

The  present  hospital  has  a  capacity  of  sixty  beds,  but  plans  are  being 
made  for  an  addition  to  the  edifice  which  will  make  it  posible  to  take  care 
of  at  least  one  hundred  more  patients. 

The  number  of  patients  treated  in  the  first  years  of  the  hospital's  exist- 
ence was  barely  more  than  800,  but  year  after  year  this  number  was  in- 
creased and  reached  a  total  of  1,970  in  1921. 


NORTH    CHICAGO    HOSPITAL 


NORTH     CHICAGO     HOSPITAL 

The  North  Chicago  Hospital,  2551  North  Clark  Street,  was  organized  and 
incorporated  in  1906  by  Doctors  Carl,  Emil  G.,  Joseph  C.  and  Rudolph  Beck 
and  Bernard  G.  Katz.  It  was  designed  to  afford  the  organizers  facilities  for 
the  treatment  of  their  own  surgical  cases  and  to  provide  a  place  in  which  to 
do  original  research  work  in  connection  with  their  clinical  activities. 

The  institution  when  first  organized  had  twenty  beds,  offices  and  two 
operating  rooms.  It  was  enlarged  in  1910  to  a  fifty-bed  hospital  and  four 
years  later  the  plant  equipment  was  increased  to  include  forty  additional 
beds  and  a  clinical  building. 

The  hospital  is  non-sectarian.  While  it  is  not  a  charity  institution,  many 
patients  have  been  treated  free  of  charge  for  medical  services  and  their 
board  and  room  given  gratis. 

While  the  hospital  is  primarily  an  institution  for  surgical  work,  medical 
and  obstetrical  cases  are  admitted,  with  the  exception  of  alcoholic  and  con- 
tagious diseases.

UNIVERSITY     HOSPITAL     OF     CHICAGO 

The  University  Hospital  of  Chicago  was  founded  July  17,  1907,  by  Doctors 
Charles  Davison,  Edward  Louis  Heintz,  D.  A.  K.  Steele,  Lewis  J.  Hammers 
and  Charles  S.  Bacon,  members  of  the  faculty  of  the  medical  department 
of  the  University  of  Illinois,  to  give  better  opportunities,  surroundings  and 
care  for  their  private  patients  absolutely  under  their  own  direction. 


317 


Although  the  hospital  was  privately  financed,  it  is  affiliated  with  the 
University  of  Illinois  College  of  Medicine  by  contract  with  the  board  of 
trustees  of  the  university. 

The  schedule  of  the  college  includes  clinical  instruction  to  its  students 
in  the  amphitheatre  and  wards  of  this  hospital  by  members  of  the  attending 
medical  staff  and  their  assistants. 

The  hospital  is  located  at  the  corner  of  Ogden  Avenue,  Lincoln  and 
Congress  Streets,  directly  across  the  street  from  the  College  of  Medicine. 
The  building  is  of  reinforced  concrete,  fireproof,  sanitary  construction,  with 
a  capacity  of  110  beds. 

Its  clinical  laboratories  are  thoroughly  equipped  with  modern  facilities 
for  the  diagnosis  and  study  of  disease. 

The  nursing  service  is  provided  by  the  University  Hospital  School  of 
Nursing,  which  operates  under  a  separate  charter  and  occupies  a  separate 
building  adjoining  the  Hospital. 

Because  of  the  relations  between  the  University  Hospital  and  the  Uni- 
versity of  Illinois  College  of  Medicine,  the  students  of  the  School  of  Nursing 
enjoy  certain  educational  privileges  at  the  medical  college  and  are  graduated 
at  its  annual  commencement.

ROBERT     BURNS     HOSPITAL 

In  1907  physicians  of  Scottish  birth  or  descent  organized  a  hospital  to 
which  was  given  the  name  of  the  "Hieland  poet,"  Robert  Burns.  The  or- 
ganizers were  Doctors  Alexander  A.  Whamond  and  Fred  G.  Whamond  and 
Joseph  Mills. 

The  hospital  was  opened  July  15,  1907  with  a  capacity  for  twenty-five 
beds,  which  has  since  been  increased  to  forty  beds.  It  is  a  private  institu- 
tion handling  obstetrical,  surgical  and  medical  cases. 

At  the  present  time,  it  is  stated,  the  building  is  too  small  to  accommodate 
all  who  apply,  and  plans  are  under  way  for  a  large  addition.  With  its 
name  and  organization,  the  institution  is  considered  virtually  a  Scottish 
hospital.

In  1905  Dr.  Fernand  Henrotin,  then  president  of  Chicago  Policlinic,  sug- 
gested the  establishment  of  a  hospital  in  affiliation  with  the  existing  institu- 
tion. With  funds  procured  from  the  faculty  and  from  the  sale  of  bonds  the 
hospital  project  was  launched  and,  under  the  name  of  Henrotin  Memorial 
Hospital  (following  the  death  of  Dr.  Henrotin  in  December,  1906),  was 
opened  for  the  reception  of  patients  November  8,  1907,  at  939  North  LaSalle 
Street.  The  institution  is  entirely  under  the  control  of  the  Chicago  Policlinic. 
Its  bed  capacity  is  65.  The  number  of  patients  cared  for  in  the  first  year 
was  550.  In  1920  the  number  had  increased  to  1,888.  Charity  cases  are 
referred  to  the  Chicago  Policlinic,  which  has  a  capacity  of  50  beds.  It  is 
planned  to  erect  an  addition  to  Henrotin  Hospital  at  the  corner  of  North 
Clark  and  Oak  streets,  which  will  contain  150  beds.  In  1920  $300,000  was 
subscribed  for  this  purpose.

AMERICAN     HOSPITAL    OF     CHICAGO 

The  American  Hospital  of  Chicago  was  opened  for  the  reception  of  patients 
in  1908.  It  is  under  the  control  of  physicians  who  are  members  of  the  hos- 
pital staff,  the  president  of  the  board  of  trustees  being  Dr.  Max  Thorek. 

All  kinds  of  cases  are  admitted,  except  mental  and  infectious.  At  the  be- 
ginning there  were  forty  beds,  and  the  capacity  has  since  been  increased  to 
175  beds. 

Five  hundred  patients  were  cared  for  during  the  first  year,  and  in  recent 
years  the  number  of  patients  has  exceeded  5,000  annually.  The  percentage 
of  charity  cases  was  two  per  cent  at  the  beginning,  and  in  recent  years  the 
average  has  been  twenty-five  per  cent. 


MUNICIPAL    TUBERCULOSIS    SANITARIUM 

North    Crawford    and     Bryn    Mawr    Avenues 

View    of    Buildings    from    Southwest 


MUNICIPAL     TUBERCULOSIS     SANITARIUM 

Research  conducted  by  Dr.  Theodore  B.  Sachs  among  the  poor  of  the 
west  side  disclosed  the  imperative  need  for  institutional  treatment  of  tuber- 
culosis in  Chicago  and  it  was  from  his  activities  in  this  behalf  that  the 
Municipal  Tuberculosis  Sanitarium  found  its  genesis. 

After  a  two  years'  internship  at  Michael  Reese  Hospital  Dr.  Sachs 
opened  an  office  at  Twelfth  and  Halsted  streets  in  order  to  serve  the  sick 
poor  both  in  private  practice  and  in  the  clinics  of  the  Jewish  Aid  Dispensary. 
In  1900  he  established  a  tuberculosis  clinic  at  the  Jewish  Aid  Dispensary, 
the  first  in  Chicago  to  be  devoted  exclusively  to  the  examination  and  treat- 
ment of  pulmonary  tuberculosis ;  here  he  served  more  than  ten  years. 

In  1903  Dr.  Sachs  began  the  first  of  three  intensive  studies  of  the  prev- 
alence and  incidence  of  tuberculosis  among  children  of  tuberculous  parents 
in  a  small  congested  area  near  his  office.  The  first  two  studies  covered 
periods  of  18  and  24  months;  charts  of  these  surveys  made  in  collaboration 
with  his  wife,  Mrs.  Lena  Louise  Wilson  Sachs,  received  honorable  mention 
at  the  International  Tuberculosis  Congress  in  Washington  in  1908.  The 
third  report  involved  the  study  of  several  hundred  children. 

The  work  of  Dr.  -Sachs  appealed  with  especial  force  to  State  Senator 
Edward  J.  Glackin,  himself  a  representative  of  the  west  side  in  the  upper 
house  of  the  general  assembly.  His  interest  found  expression  in  the  formu- 


320  HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO 

lation  of  a  bill  which  he  introduced  February  23,  1905,  providing  for  the 
establishment  of  a  state  sanitarium  for  the  care  of  curable  cases  of  tuber- 
culosis. It  called  for  an  appropriation  of  $200,000  for  the  purchase  of  land 
and  the  construction  of  buildings.  With  subsequent  amendments  and  with 
the  appropriation  reduced  to  $25,000  the  bill  passed  both  branches  of  the 
legislature  in  May,  1905,  but  failed  to  receive  the  approval  of  the  governor. 
After  that  Senator  Glackin  introduced  four  bills  for  the  establishment  of  a 
state  tuberculosis  sanitarium,  but  they  failed  to  receive  the  necessary  support. 

In  the  meantime  expert  opinion  in  Illinois  crystallized  in  favor  of  enabling 
cities  and  counties,  rather  than  the  state  as  a  whole,  to  construct  and  operate 
sanitaria  for  the  care  of  their  own  tuberculosis  patients.  In  conformity  with 
this  sentiment  Senator  Glackin  introduced  on  January  14,  1908,  a  bill  em- 
powering cities  to  establish  and  maintain  tuberculosis  sanitaria.  In  this 
connection  a  four  mill  tax  was  set  aside.  Glackin's  bill  became  a  law  July 
1,  1908. 

Chicago  with  its  large  tuberculosis  problem  was  the  first  city  of  the  state 
to  study  this  law  in  its  application  to  the  local  situation.  The  Chicago 
Tuberculosis  Institute,,  an  organization  of  physicians  and  laymen  chartered 
March  17,  1906,  having  for  its  purpose  the  prevention  and  treatment  of  con- 
sumption and  other  forms  of  tuberculosis,  gave  this  important  measure 
thorough  consideration  and  resolved  to  advocate  its  acceptance  by  the 
municipality  provided  certain  amendments  were  enacted,  the  chief  of  which 
was  the  reduction  of  the  maximum  rate  of  tax  lexy  from  four  mills  to  one. 
This  was  accomplished  during  the  regular  biennial  session  of  the  forty-sixth 
general  assembly,  through  an  amendment  passed  on  March  12,  1909,  and 
immediately  after  that  the  institute  proceeded  with  a  campaign  for  the 
adoption  of  the  sanitarium  act.  The  referendum  vote  was  167,230  for  and 
39,410  against. 

The  city  tuberculosis  act,  as  originally  framed,  became  operative  in  Chi- 
cago on  April  16,  1909.  On  April  19  Mayor  Busse  appointed  a  board  of 
directors  to  administer  the  tuberculosis  sanitarium  fund  accruing  under 
the  operation  of  the  special  municipal  tax  as  well  as  to  prepare  plans  for 
the  sanitarium. 

The  first  board  of  directors  consisted  of  Harlow  N.  Higinbotham,  Dr. 
Theodore  B.  Sachs  and  Dr.  W.  A.  Evans,  who  served  ex-officio,  being  com- 
missioner of  health  at  the  time.  The  board  organized  with  Mr.  Higinbotham 
as  president  and  Dr.  Sachs  as  secretary. 

Shortly  after  its  organization  the  board,  under  a  liberal  interpretation 
of  the  law,  created  the  municipal  tuberculosis  dispensary  system  whose  func- 
tions were  later  amplified  when,  in  1913,  Senator  Glackin  procured  passage 
of  an  amendment  to  the  statute  extending  the  benefits  and  privileges  of  the 
sanitarium  to  the  homes  of  persons  afflicted  with  tuberculosis.  The  actual 
work  of  directing  and  mapping  out  the  plans  of  the  sanitarium  was  assigned 
on  March  1,  1911,  to  Dr.  Sachs. 

The  board  anticipated  the  tax  levy  of  1911  by  issuing  tax  warrants  for 
$10,000  and  on  September  19,  1911,  entered  into  an  agreement  with  the 
Chicago  Tuberculosis  Institute  by  which  seven  dispensaries  operated  by  the 
Institute  passed  under  the  control  of  the  sanitarium. 

With  the  transfer  of  the  dispensaries,  their  nursing  force,  consisting  of 
Miss  Edna  L.  Foley,  superintendent  of  nurses,  and  eleven  field  nurses,  was 


HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO  321 

retained  by  the  sanitarium.  Frank  E.  Wing,  at  that  time  superintendent 
of  the  Institute,  was  elected  general  superintendent.  Thus  was  laid  the 
foundation  of  an  extensive  system  around  which  it  was  planned  to  group 
all  other  institutional  agencies  for  the  control  of  tuberculosis  in  Chicago. 

The  board  encountered  many  difficulties  in  its  effort  to  procure  a  site  for 
the  sanitarium.  Finally  the  city  council  in  January,  1911,  ordered  the  purchase 
of  160  acres  of  land  about  nine  miles  from  the  down  town  district.  On  the 
north  it  is  bounded  by  Peterson  Road,  on -the  south  by  Bryn  Mawr  Avenue, 
on  the  east  by  North  Central  Park  Avenue  and  on  the  west  by  North  Craw- 
ford Avenue.  Formerly  a  number  of  small  farms  composed  this  tract  of 
land.  The  soil  is  black  loam  well  suited  for  farming  purposes.  After  the 
purchase  of  the  site  the  ground  was  thoroughly  drained  with  traversing  lines 
of  tiling  from  50  to  100  feet  apart. 

On  May  2,  1911,  the  board  of  directors  appointed  William  A.  Otis  and 
Edwin  H.  Clark  architects  of  the  sanitarium.  The  work  of  preparing  the 
plans  required  two  years. 

In  the  layout  of  the  sanitarium,  the  administration  building,  service  build- 
ing, dining  halls,  infirmary  group  and  power  house  were  placed  along  the 
median  line  of  the  grounds  running  from  west  to  east.  The  south  section 
is  reserved  for  the  cottages  of  ambulant  women  patients,  the  north  section 
for  men.  The  entire  group  of  buildings  is  so  placed  as  to  leave  ample 
ground  for  farming  and  gardening. 

All  the  buildings  located  on  the  median  line  face  west  with  the  exception 
of  the  infirmary  wings  and  the  two  dining  halls,  the  exposures  of  which  are 
south.  They  are  all  connected  by  a  special  service  tunnel  running  a  dis- 
tance of  1,500  feet. 

The  administration  building  comes  first,  being  reached  from  the  main 
entrance  to  the  grounds  by  a  driveway  1,400  feet  long.  This  building  is 
removed  800  feet  from  North  Crawford  Avenue.  Next,  100  feet  from  the 
administration  building,  comes  the  dining  hall  for  men  patients,  the  service 
building  and  east  of  it  the  dining  hall  for  women  patients.  These  buildings 
are  connected  by  inclosed  corridors  and  form  by  their  position  a  cross,  the 
horizontal  line  being  represented  by  the  service  building.

a  capacity  of  300  be'ds. 

The  power  house  and  laundry  are  at  the  extreme  eastern  point  of  the 
median  line  of  buildings,  placed  at  a  distance  of  500  feet  from  the  infirmary. 

The  open  air  cottages  for  ambulant  men  and  women  patients,  with  a  unit 
administration  building  in  the  center  of  each,  form  two  separate  groups 
of  buildings,  one  on  the  south,  and  the  other  on  the  north  side  of  the  grounds. 

Of  the  ultimate  number  of  twenty-eight  cottages,  twenty  are  for  adults 
and  eight  for  children.  The  cottages,  of  which  there  are  now  sixteen,  face 
southeast,  this  position  furnishing  the  best  protection  against  the  prevailing 
northwest  winds.  They  are  100  feet  apart  from  end  to  end  and  are  placed 
in  rows  separated  by-  lawns  125  feet  wide.  The  distance  between  the  cot- 
tages and  the  central  group  of  administration  buildings  varies  from  175 
feet  to  600  feet. 


322  HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO 

At  the  opening  of  the  institution  in  March,  1915,  there  were  twelve  cot- 
tages for  ambulant  adult  patients  and  four  cottages  for  children,  with  a 
total  capacity  of  380  beds.  The  total  bed  capacity  of  the  entire  institution 
is  now  950. 

The  open  air  cottages  for  ambulant  patients  are  one-story  buildings  of 
frame  construction  with  stucco  interior.  The  cottages  consist  of  a  central 
enclosed  portion  with  two  open  porches  on  each  side.  The  central  portion 
includes  a  living  room,  the  front  of  which  projects  nine  feet  beyond  the  two 
adjoining  porches,  and  a  rear  annex  containing  the  dressing  rooms,  bath  and 
toilet  facilities. 

The  porches,  sixty-three  feet  long  by  eighteen  feet  wide,  contain  the  fol- 
lowing distinctive  features : 

The  front  is  open  with  the  exception  of  a  solid  railing  two  feet  high  and 
a  continuous  row  of  transoms  intended  for  ventilation  in  stormy  weather, 
when  the  five  foot  open  space  extending  from  railing  to  the  transoms  is 
closed  by  means  of  canvas  curtains. 

The  end  walls  of  each  porch  have  three  windows  toward  the  rear  and  a 
large  sliding  door  in  the  front  which,  when  open,  adds  materially  to  the 
ventilation.  The  rear  wall  of  the  porch  has  a  row  of  thirteen  windows, 
which  in  groups  of  three  are  placed  four  feet,  nine  inches  above  the  floor. 
Additional  ventilation  is  provided  by  means  of  two  ventilators  in  the  roof 
over  the  porch. 

With  the  bed  placed  against  the  rear  wall  of  the  porch  there  is  a  space 
of  three  feet  between  the  bed  and  an  area  eleven  feet  wide  extending  the 
length  of  the  entire  porch  reserved  for  the  reclining  chairs,  used  by  the 
patients.  The  living  room  is  eighteen  feet  by  twenty-two  feet,  six  inches 
with  the  ceiling  thirteen  feet,  five  inches  above  the  floor.  It  is  steam 
heated  and  has  an  open  fire  place,  which  materially  adds  to  its  attractiveness. 

The  important  feature  of  the  children's  cottages  at  the  sanitarium  are : 

The  open  air  porch,  which  serves  as  sleeping  quarters,  is  centrally  located 
and  connects  two  end  buildings.  It  is  twenty-nine  feet,  nine  inches  long 
and  eighty  feet,  six  inches  wide,  giving  sufficient  space  for  twenty-five  or 
more  beds.  The  north,  west  and  east  sides  of  the  porch  are  inclosed.  The 
south  side  is  open,  being  treated  in  the  same  way  as  the  corresponding  side 
in  the  cottages  for  adults.  In  front  of  the  porch  along  its  entire  length  is 
an  open  terrace,  two  feet,  three  inches  above  the  ground,  which  is  planned 
as  an  out  door  rest  for  children  in  favorable  weather. 

The  inclosed  east  end  contains  an  office  with  a  window  overlooking  the 
entire  porch,  an  emergency  hospital  room,  play  rooms,  dressing  and  bath 
rooms.  The  inclosed  west  end  contains  a  large  school  and  assembly  room. 

The  nurses'  building  is  in  the  southwest  section  of  the  grounds,  situated 
within  600  feet  of  the  main  entrance  and  is  so  placed  as  to  give  the  nurses 
the  necessary  privacy  and  quietude. 

The  sanitarium  cared  for  2,248  patients  during  the  year  1921. 

The  dispensary  department  is  a  very  important  department  of  the  sanitarium 
and  maintains  at  the  present  time  eight  municipal  tuberculosis  dispensaries. 
Gradually  developed  out  of  small  beginnings  in  the  latter  part  of  the  year 
1907,  the  dispensaries  have  grown  into  a  comprehensive  administrative  ma- 
chinery for  the  prevention  and  control  of  tuberculosis  in  this  city.  While 
adequate  hospital  and  sanitarium  provision  for  the  care  of  tuberculous 
patients  is  a  very  important  factor  in  the  solution  of  the  tuberculosis  situa-

tion  in  any  community,  the  magnitude  of  the  problem  in  its  various  relations 
to  the  home,  the  family  and  the  community  at  large  requires  the  operation 
of  a  comprehensive  administration  scheme,  the  function  of  which  should  be 
the  control  and  prevention  of  disease  in  the  environment  of  the  patient  as 
well  as  painstaking,  persistent  education  of  the  sufferer,  of  those  about  him 
as  well  as  the  people  at  large  on  the  general  subject  of  maintenance  of 
health,  prevention  of  the  disease  and  the  right  method  of  care  for  those 
afflicted.  It  falls  to  the  dispensaries  to  perform  that  important  task  in  the 
campaign  against  the  disease  and  to  teach  the  community  the  far-reaching 
effect  of  the  early  recognition  of  tuberculosis  and  early  application  of  right 
remedial  measures. 

For  the  year  1921,  according  to  the  report  of  Mr.  Charles  J.  Happel,  gen- 
eral superintendent  of  the  institution,  the  dispensaries  had  under  supervision 
33,833  patients. 

The  total  value  of  the  sanitarium  plant  and  ground  as  of  1921  has  been 
fixed  at  $2,569,000.  The  value  of  the  equipment  is  estimated  at  $271,000.

IROQUOIS     ME  MORI  A  L    HOSPITAL 

As  a  monument  to  the  575  persons  who  lost  their  lives  in  the  Iroquois 
theatre  fire  of  December  30,  1903,  the  Iroquois  Memorial  Hospital  was  dedi- 
cated and  turned  over  to  the  city  December  30,  1910.  Funds  necessary  to  the 
erection  of  the  building  amounting  to  $40,000  were  provided  by  the  Iroquois 
Memorial  Association  composed  of  relatives  and  friends  of  the  victims. 


324  HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO 

The  institution  was  designed  to  provide  instant  and  free  attention  to 
victims  of  accidents  down  town,  the  lack  of  which,  it  was  said,  was  the 
cause  of  many  of  the  deaths  resulting  from  the  fire.  In  this  behalf  the  hos- 
pital particularly  justified  its  mission  when  250  victims  of  the  Eastland 
disaster  were  given  the  necessary  first  aid  treatment.  The  efficiency  of  the 
institution  is  well  illustrated  by  the  fact  that  during  a  hot  spell  in  1917  the 
hospital  handled  65  heat  stroke  and  exhaustion  cases  with  a  record  of  only 
two  deaths. 

In  addition  to  fulfilling  the  obvious  role  of  an  emergency  hospital  the  in- 
stitution has  assumed  other  important  functions. 

In  1918  a  venereal  disease  clinic  was  established  on  the  premises  at  which 
thousands  of  men  and  women  unable  to  pay  for  services  have  been  treated 
every  evening  between  the  hours  of  6  and  9. 

Pasteur  treatments  for  rabies  are  administered  and  other  activities  include 
the   examination   of   persons   suspected   of   being  typhoid   carriers,   the   ad- 
ministration of  anti-toxin  in  influenza  epidemics  and  of  typhoid  prophylaxis.

ST.    JAMES'    HOSPITAL,     CHICAGO 

HEIGHTS,     ILLINOIS    (For  photograph  see  page  323) 

The  medical  profession  of  Chicago  Heights  for  several  years  prior  to  1910 
had  felt  the  need  of  a  hospital  in  that  city.  Several  propositions  had  been 
considered  and  attempts  had  been  made  to  interest  different  organizations, 
but  a  real  start  was  not  made  until  about  the  year  1909. 

At  that  time  a  proposition  developed  to  establish  a  municipal  hospital  and 
considerable  money  was  pledged  by  the  local  medical  profession  and  other 
philanthropic  citizens.  The  effort  seemed  doomed  to  failure  on  account  of 
inability  to  raise  sufficient  funds. 

In  1910  Dr.  J.  A.  Fitzgerald,  a  local  physician  now  deceased,  succeeded 
in  interesting  Sister  M.  Josepha, .  the  Provential  Superior  of  the  Poor  Sis- 
ters of  St.  Francis  of  Perpetual  Adoration,  in  the  project.  The  idea  of  a 
municipal  hospital  was  then  abandoned  and  the  subscriptions  were  turned 
over  to  the  Sisters,  who  succeeded  in  completing  a  modern  sixty-bed  hos- 
pital in  November,  1911,  when  it  was  opened.  .  The  Sisters  since  that  time 
have  conducted  the  hospital. 

Archbishop  Quigley  warmly  encouraged  the  project  and  in  expression  of 
gratitude  to  him  the  hospital  was  named  after  his  patron,  St.  James. 

The  hospital  has  not  been  enlarged  since  the  beginning  and  at  this  date 
is  constantly  filled  and  a  movement  is  on  foot  to  greatly  enlarge  the  build- 
ing to  take  care  of  the  growing  needs.  The  hospital  staff  at  present  consists 
for  the  most  part  of  the  local  medical  profession  of  Chicago  Heights  with 
Dr.  F.  A.  Walls,  president  and  Dr.  Ira  C.  Harman,  secretary. 

In  its  first  two  months  of  existence  the  hospital  cared  for  fourteen  pa- 
tients. In  1921  the  number  of  patient  admitted  was  1,256. 

OTHO     S.     A.     SPRAGUE     MEMORIAL     INSTITUTE 

The  Otho  S.  A.  Sprague  Memorial  Institute  was  organized  in  January, 
1911,  by  the  late  Albert  A.  Sprague,  brother  of  the  donor.  The  latter  died  in 
February,  1909,  bequeathing  for  the  purpose  of  relieving  human  suffering  a 
sum  of  money  which  he  intrusted  to  his  brother.  On  May  1,  1911,  Dr.  H. 
Gideon  Wells  of  the  University  of  Chicago  was  appointed  director  of  medical 
research.  It  was  decided  to  use  none  of  the  money  for  the  erection  of  build- 
ings, but  to  cooperate  with  existing  institutions  in  furthering  medical  re- 
search.

HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO 


On  November  17,  1916,  by  vote  of  the  trustees  of  the  Institute,  it  became 
an  element  in  the  plan  for  a  great  medical  school  at  the  University  of  Chi- 
cago. Since  its  foundation,  the  Institute  has  supported  research  work  at  the 
University  of  Chicago,  Rush  Medical  College,  the  Presbyterian  Hospital,  the 
Children's  Memorial  Hospital  and  the  pathological  laboratories  of  St.  Luke's 
Hospital  and  Cook  County  Hospital. 

While  the  lines  of  investigation  pursued  by  the  several  workers  of  the 
Institute  are  varied,  and  problems  of  widely  different  character  have  been 
investigated  as  the  occasion  arose,  yet  in  the  main  the  chief  emphasis  of  the 
work  has  been  upon  the  chemical  side  of  medical  problems.  This  line  of 
attack  was  selected  because  it  was  believed  to  represent  the  aspect  of  medical 
science  that,  with  the  exception  of  infectious  diseases,  holds  forth  the  greatest 
opportunities  for  productive  and  useful  work.  The  John  McCormick  In- 
stitute for  Infectious  Diseases  was  already  engaged  in  research  on  problems 
in  these  diseases,  and  where  infectious  diseases  have  required  chemical  in- 
vestigation, the  two  institutes  have  at  times  cooperated. 

The  Sprague  Institute  has  supported  special  investigations  in  industrial 
diseases,  caisson  disease,  anesthesia,  infant  health,  etc.,  by  special  workers. 
Its  staff  consists  of  about  twenty  members,  exclusive  of  special  assistants  and 
investigators  and  untrained  helpers.  Half  of  the  members  of  the  staff  give 
their  entire  time  to  the  work  of  the  Institute. 

The  scientific  work  is  under  the  supervision  of  an  advisory  council  con- 
sisting of  Doctors  James  B.  Herrick,  president;  E.  R.  LeCount,  secretary; 
Frank  Billings,  Ludvig  Hektoen  and  Joseph  L.  Miller  and  Professors  Julius 
Stieglitz  and  E.  O.  Jordan. 

The  trustees  of  the  Institute  at  present  are  Dr.  Frank  Billings,  president; 
John  P.  Wilson,  vice-president ;  Albert  A.  Sprague,  II,  secretary ;  Charles  L. 
Hutchinson,  Martin  A.  Ryerson,  John  T.  Pirie  and  Thomas  D.  Jones.  Albert 
A.  Sprague  and  Byron  L.  Smith  of  the  original  board  of  trustees  have  died, 
and  Bruce  D.  Smith,  who  succeeded  his  father,  has  resigned.

The  West  Suburban  Hospital  was'  organized  in  June,  1911,  under  a 
charter  granted  to  Doctors  Charles  E.  Humiston,  W.  E.  Potter  and  F.  W. 
Kettlestrings.  The  board  of  directors  during  the  period  of  construction  and 
during  the  first  year  oE  operation  were  Doctors  Charles  E.  Humiston,  F.  L: 
Glenn,  E.  W.  Marquardt,  Thomas  I.  Motter,  C.  W.  Poorman,  W.  E.  Potter,

Messrs.  John  J.  Arnold,  George  B.  Caldwell,  John  Heist,  Calvin  H.  Hill  and 
Frank  Kimball. 

The  hospital  is  a  private  institution  and  is  owned  and  controlled  by  the 
West  Suburban  Hospital  Association.  Contagious  and  insane  cases  are  not 
admitted.  The  original  capacity  of  the  establishment,  135  beds,  is  increased 
to  225  beds  by  the  new  addition,  construction  of  which  was  begun  in  1921 
at  a  cost  of  $500,000. 

The  number  of  cases  admitted  in  1914,  the  first  year  of  operation,  was 
1,646.  During  1921  the  number  of  patients  was  5,565.  Charity  work  amounts 
to  ten  per  cent  of  the  whole. 

The  hospital's  training  school  for  nurses  has  eighty-five  nurses  in  training.

MUNICIPAL   CONTAGIOUS   DISEASE   HOSPITAL 
3026   South   California  Avenue 

MUNICIPAL     CONTAGIOUS 

DISEASE     HOSPITAL 

Chicago's  first  hospital  for  the  treatment  of  contagious  disease  was 
built  of  rough  boards  On  the  bleak  shore  at  the  foot  of  North  Avenue,  then 
far  beyond  the  city  limits.  It  was  erected  in  1843  at  a  cost  of  $200. 

Now,  less  than  four  score  years  later,  the  city  has  what  is  believed  to  be 
the  finest  contagious  disease  hospital  in  the  world.  Its  cost,  when  the  project 
finally  is  completed,  will  be  $5,000,000.  The  institution  is  located  at  3026 
South  California  Avenue. 

In  drawing  the  plans  for  the  new  hospital  the  city  architect  considered 
and  applied  every  conceivable  feature  of  improvements  in  modern  hospital 
architecture  and  finally  developed  a  structure  that  is  said  to  be  second  to 
none  in  the  world  for  the  care  of  contagious  disease. 


HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO  331 

Unlike  many  other  contagious  disease  hospitals,  the  patients  here  are 
accommodated  in  cubicles,  or  in  private  rooms,  entirely  surrounded  by  plate 
glass,  except  the  outer  wall,  which  is  provided  with  large  outside  windows. 
These  glass  rooms  are  nine  feet,  six  inches  wide  and  sixteen  feet  long,  are 
bright  and  airy  and  are  better  equipped  than  many  rooms  in  private  hospitals 
charging  high  rates.  Under  normal  conditions  two  adults,  or  three  children, 
are  given  separate  cubicles  which  contains  two  beds  or  three  cribs,  besides 
tables,  a  mirror,  glass  shelf  for  toilet  articles,  a  chair,  a  rocker,  and  running 
water  or  hopper  for  waste  disposal.  All  articles  forming  this  equipment 
are  of  white  enameled  steel. 

Next  to  the  cubicles  is  the  nurses'  corridor,  a  space  eight  feet  wide  and 
extending  from  one  end  of  the  building  to  the  other.  Here  the  nurses  and 
doctors  are  enabled  to  observe  the  patients  at  all  times,  plate  glass  walls 
and  glass  doors  being  the  only  obstructions  dividing  the  cubicles  from  the 
nurses'  corridor. 

The  visitors'  aisle  is  next  to  the  nurses'  corridor  and  runs  in  a  parallel 
direction.  This  aisle  is  separated  from  the  nurses'  corridor  by  heavy  glass 
partitions  which  rise  to  the  ceiling.  These  partitions  are  absolutely  air 
proof  and  are  intended  to  obviate  the  danger  of  contagion.  Here  the  visitors 
are  afforded  the  opportunity  of  meeting  the  patients  face  to  face,  of  seeing 
their  rooms,  observing  the  care  given,  and  yet  are  absolutely  protected 
against  disease  themselves. 

"To  get  an  idea  of  the  impression  of  the  surroundings  one  has  but  to 
visit  the  hospital  on  any  visiting  day,  mingle  among  the  hundreds  of  visitors 
and  listen  to  their  surprised  views  concerning  the  city's  free  hospital,"  says 
a  physician.  "Many  a  mother  who  dreaded  the  idea  of  having  her  child 
removed  to  a  free  city  hospital  has,  with  tears  in  her  eyes,  confessed  to  the 
authorities  her  error  and  blessed  the  hospital  for  having  saved  her  child." 

The  history  of  the  new  Contagious  Disease  Hospital  dates  back  to  Febru- 
ary 19,  1912,  when  the  city  council  passed  an  ordinance  providing  for  the 
issuance  of  Health  Department  building  bonds  in  the  amount  of  $380,000. 
On  July  22  of  the  same  year  the  city  council  authorized  the  commissioner  of 
health  to  invite  competitive  proposals  and  award  contracts  for  the  prepara- 
tion of  plans,  specifications  and  superintending  of  the  construction  of  a 
contagious  disease  hospital. 

On  July  5,  1913,  an  order  was  passed  by  the  council  directing  the  corpora- 
tion counsel  to  commence  condemnation  proceedings  to  acquire  title  to 
property  for  the  construction  of  the  hospital.  On  November  24  of  the  same 
year  the  mayor,  in  a  communication  to  the  council,  recommended  the  accep- 
tance of  an  eight-acre  tract  comprising  800  feet  on  California  Avenue,  be- 
tween the  river  and  Thirty-first  Street,  with  a  depth  of  475  feet.  On  the 
west  side  the  west  fork  of  the  river  cuts  off  a  portion  reducing  the  width 
to  663  feet.  The  tract  was  promptly  acquired. 

To  cover  the  cost  of  the  great  enterprise  the  citizens  of  Chicago  were 
called  upon  either  to  approve  or  reject  the  proposition  by  a  popular  vote. 
The  question  as  to  whether  or  not  the  city  should  issue  bonds  for  the 
construction  of  a  contagious  disease  hospital  was  submitted  to  the  people 
four  times  and  each  time  they  voted  in  its  favor.  From  February  19,  1912, 
to  March  12,  1917,  bonds  in  the  sum  of  $2,100,000  were  voted. 

On  October  25,  1915,  the  council  appropriated  the  sum  of  $480,000  for  the 
construction  of  buildings  and  equipment  within  the  House  of  Correction 
grounds  for  furnishing  power,  light  and  heat  to  the  surrounding  municipal

plants  and  the  new  Contagious  Disease  Hospital.  This  plant  was  com- 
pleted in  November,  1917,  and  on  December  1  it  began  its  operation.  Since 
that  date  the  hospital  has  been  furnished  with  heat,  hot  water  and  electric 
current  from  this  plant.

for  one  administration  building,  five  hospital  buildings,  one  service  build- 
ing, a  refrigeration  plant,  one  nurses'  home  and  one  cottage  for  the  super- 
intendent. The  administration  building  contains  the  executive  offices,  phar- 
macy, laboratory,  library,  assembly  room,  sleeping  quarters  for  physicians 
and  store  rooms. 

The  hospital  or  ward  buildings  are  planned  to  be  arranged  in  a  semi- 
circle about  the  administration  building,  with  closed  corridors  connecting 
all  buildings.  The  receiving  rooms  for  patients  are  located  in  the  basement 
corridor  just  back  of  the  administration  building  so  patients  can  be  taken 
to  all  buildings  through  the  basement  corridors. 

The  central  administration  and  service  buildings  and  two  ward  buildings 
are  in  operation  at  this  time.  The  ward  buildings  now  in  operation  con- 
tain four  principal  floors.  Each  of  these  has  twenty-seven  glass  inclosed 
cubicles,  two  small  wards,  a  diet  kitchen,  operating  room  or  utility  room, 
physicians'  room,  nurses'  dressing  room,  toilet  and  visitors'  corridor.  A 
fifth  floor  has  four  small  rooms  which  are  used  for  the  isolation  of  certain 
diseases  and  there  is  also  a  large  roof  garden  which  is  used  in  seasonable 
weather  to  allow  the  convalescents  the  benefit  of  fresh  air  and  sunshine. 

One  of  the  wings  is  allocated  to  the  use  of  diphtheria  patients  and  the 
other  to  those  suffering  from  scarlet  fever. 

The  service  building  is  two  stories  high  with  a  large  airy  half-basement. 
The  lower  part  of  this  building  comprises  the  permanent  kitchen,  bakery, 
dining  rooms,  vegetable  rooms,  meat  room,  pan  room,  a  cart  room,  receiving 
room  and  store  rooms. 

The  first  floor  has  the  general  dining  room  and  service  kitchen,  dining 
room  for  doctors  and  at  the  south  end  two  small  infirmaries  to  be  used  for 
employes  suffering  from  other  than  contagious  diseases.  The  second  floor 
is  used  exclusively  for  the  housing  of  help  such  as  cooks,  maids  and  order- 
lies. Simple  recreation  facilities  have  been  provided  on  the  roof  for  the 
use  of  the  help  or  convalescents  other  than  those  suffering  from  contagious 
diseases.  In  planning  the  building  the  architect  has  provided  for  the  in- 
crease in  the  height  to  three  or  four  stories  which  will  ultimately  be  found 
necessary. 

The  equipment  in  the  service  building  is  regarded  by  authorities  as  the 
most  practical  and  of  the  latest  design  and  has  been  installed  at  a  cost  of 
over  $30,000. 

At  the  close  of  1916  scarlet  fever  increased  in  Chicago.  The  Cook  County 
Hospital,  the  Durand  Memorial  Hospital  and  the  old  contagious  disease 
hospitals  were  overcrowded  and  the  health  department  had  a  long  list  of 
patients  needing  accommodations.  The  city  then  entered  into  an  agree- 
ment with  St.  Francis  Hospital  in  Evanston  to  care  for  and  treat  scarlet 
fever  patients  at  from  $15  to  $25  a  week,  the  city  to  carry  the  patients  to 
that  hospital  and  to  pay  the  salary  of  one  interne.  Within  a  short  time, 
too,  St.  Francis  Hospital  was  overcrowded  and  the  patients'  waiting  list 
grew  longer.  The  bureau  of  medical  inspection  was  over-burdened  with 
work;  it  could  neither  offer  hospital  accommodations  nor  was  it  equipped 


HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO  333 

to  cope  with  the  seriousness  of  the  situation.  The  death  rate  grew  and 
there  seemed  no  immediate  relief  in  sight. 

The  Municipal  Contagious  Disease  Hospital,  which  was  nearing  com- 
pletion, was  then  considered  as  a  remote  possibility,  for  it  would  require 
several  months  to  complete  and  equip  the  hospital  so  as  to  render  it  in  a 
condition  to  receive  patients.  The  situation,  however,  warranted  action 
and  every  effort  was  made  to  transform  the  seemingly  impossible  thing  into 
a  possibility.  The  commissioner  of  health  then  called  a  conference  which 
was  participated  in  by  the  city  and  county  officials,  by  representatives  of 
the  Chicago  Woman's  Club  and  other  civic  bodies.  The  main  purpose  was 
to  find  ways  of  opening  the  hospital  in  January,  1917,  and  to  obtain  the 
cooperation  of  the  community. 

Following  this  conference  the  work  was  so  expedited  that  it  was  possible 
to  open  the  institution  within  two  weeks  after  the  meeting. 

For  two  weeks  men  and  women  were  engaged  to  scrub  and  clean  the 
institution,  while  painters,  plumbers  and  tile  setters  were  kept  busy  day  and 
night,  and  on  January  8,  1917,  the  hospital  was  ready  for  occupancy. 

The  two  ward  buildings  have  a  bed  capacity  of  400.  The  number  of  cases 
handled  by  the  contagious  disease  division  of  the  hospital  for  the  year 
ending  December  31,  1921,  was  3,160.  The  average  number  of  cases  a  day 
throughout  the  year  was  190  8/10,  and  the  daily  cost  to  the  city  per  patient 
was  $3.21. 

The  fourth  and  fifth  floors  of  building  No.  2  are  devoted  to  the  venereal 
disease  division.  This  division  is  the  successor  of  the  Lawndale  Municipal 
Hospital,  formerly  the  old  contagious  disease  hospital. 

The  Lawndale  Municipal  Hospital  was  organized  in  1918  and  had  been 
maintained  by  the  health  department  as  an  institution  for  the  treatment 
of  women  afflicted  with  venereal  disease.  The  patients  were  kept  under 
treatment  until  the  disease  was  arrested,  while  in  the  meantime  the  com- 
munication of  the  disease  to  others  was  prevented.  It  is  worthy  of  note 
that  Chicago  was  the  first  city  to  establish  a  hospital  exclusively  for  this 
purpose.  Many  other  cities  have  since  followed  suit. 

A  majority  of  the  patients  came  to  the  hospital  from  the  Morals  Court 
and  others  from  private  physicians,  institutions  or  voluntarily. 

In  the  interest  of  efficiency  the  functions  of  the  Lawndale  Hospital  were 
absorbed  by  the  new1  Contagious  Disease  Hospital  in  November,  1920. 
During  the  year  ending  December  31,  1921,  802  cases  were  handled  by  the 
venereal  disease  division. 

An  important  feature  of  the  work  of  the  hospital  is  that  performed  by 
the  ambulance  division.  A  health  department  rule  provides  that  only  ambu- 
lances of  the  department  may  transport  contagious  diseases,  and  all  ambu- 
lances of  the  department  are  operated  from  the  hospital. 

With  seven  ambulances,  to  which  are  attached  three  ambulance  surgeons 
and  three  internes  (the  latter  being  furnished  each  year  by  Michael  Reese 
Hospital),  the  ambulance  division  in  1921  transported  4,549  patients  over 
52,731  miles,  at  a  cost  of  $6.48  per  patient  or  $5l/2  cents  per  mile. 

The  hospital  is  conducted  tinder  the  general  direction  of  the  commissioner 
of  health.  The  staff  consists  of  a  superintendent,  an  assistant  superintendent, 
three  hospital  physicians,  two  internes,  a  superintendent  of  nurses  and 
fifty  nurses,  including  one  head  nurse  for  each  floor.  All  of  these  are 
appointed  under  civil  service  regulations.

Since  the  opening  of  the  hospital  the  superintendents,  in  the  order  of  their 
service,  have  been  Doctors  E.  K.  Armstrong,  W.  K.  Murray,  Edith  B.  Lowry, 
Archibald  L.  Hoyne  and  Arthur  E.  Gammage,  the  last-named  having  held 
the  position  since  September,  1919. 


MOUNT  SINAI  HOSPITAL 
1519  South  California  Avenue 

MOUNT     SINAI     HOSPITAL 
OF    CHICAGO 

Mount  Sinai  Hospital  of  Chicago  was  organized  in  March,  1918,  to  meet 
a  long  felt  need  for  a  Jewish  Hospital  on  the  west  side,  where  live  about 
one  hundred  thousand  people  of  the  Jewish  faith.  The  group  of  public- 
spirited  men  and  women  who  undertook  this  organization  consisted  of: 
Messrs.  Ignatius  Bernard,  Marcus  Jacobowsky,  Morris  Kurtzon,  Mrs.  J.  G. 
Grossberg,  Mrs.  Edwin  Romberg  and  Dr.  Harry  M.  Richter. 

The  hospital  was  opened  for  patients  on  May  15,  1919,  with  a  capacity  ot 
sixty-five  beds.  Early  in  1922  the  number  of  beds  was  increased  to  one 
hundred  and  five,  and  plans  are  now  under  consideration  for  additional 
buildings  to  accommodate  two  hundred  more  patients.  It  is  a  general  pub- 
lic hospital,  admitting  pay  and  charity  patients.  The  annual  deficit  is  met 
by  subscriptions  of  about  one  thousand  members.  During  1921  there  were 
treated  at  the  hospital  2,830  cases,  of  which  number  eighty  per  cent  were 
free  and  part  free.

United  States  Public  Health  Hospital  Number  30  was  taken  over  from 
the  Medical  Corps  of  the  United  States  Army  by  the  United  States  Public 
Health  Service  June  13,  1919. 

The  main  building  was  originally  planned  as  a  hotel  to  be  known  as  the 
Cooper-Monatah.  As  it  neared  completion  in  the  winter  of  1918-1919  it 
was  commandeered  by  the  War  Department  for  the  use  of  sick  and 
wounded  soldiers  just  returned  from  France  and  ever  since  it  has  been 
devoted  to  the  use  of  disabled  veterans.

The  plant  and  equipment  are  valued  at  $800,000.  The  principal  building 
has  a  bed  capacity  of  540.  The  hospital  is  intended  for  the  reception  of 
all  cases  sent  to  it  by  the  United  States  War  Veterans  Bureau.  These 
include  general  medical  and  surgical,  orthopedic,  urological  and  tubercular 
cases.  A  special  ward  is  set  aside  for  tubercular  suspects,  who  are  kept 
under  observation  until  such  time  as  diagnosis  warrants  their  transfer  to 
hospitals  especially  devoted  to  the  treatment  of  tuberculosis.

CHICAGO   GENERAL  HOSPITAL 
741  Diversey  Parkway 

CHICAGO     GENERAL    HOSPITAL 

As  the  Diversey  Parkway  Hospital  was  about  to  close,  a  group  of  doctors 
on  April  10,  1920,  organized  a  corporation  not  for  profit  to  take  over  the 
property.  From  this  institution  was  evolved  the  Chicago  General  Hospital 
and  Training  School  for  Nurses,  which  began  to  function  May  1,  1920.  The 
establishment  is  located  at  741  Diversey  Parkway. 

A  few  months  later,  in  the  interest  of  efficiency,  the  administration  was 
placed  in  the  hands  of  a  small  executive  committee,  and  Dr.  W.  C.  Spangen- 
berg  was  designated  general  manager.  The  hospital  is  non-sectarian  and 
is  affiliated  with  no  group  or  society.  As  its  name  implies,  it  is  a  general 
hospital,  but  under  private  control.  All  except  extreme  nervous  and  con- 
tagious cases  are  admitted. 

When  the  hospital  was  opened  the  number  of  beds  was  forty;  at  the  pres- 
ent time  there  is  accommodation  for  seventy-five.  Since  its  opening  ap- 
proximately 2,000  patients  have  been  admitted.  A  nurses'  home  has  been 
added  to  the  plant  equipment  and  a  good  laboratory  has  been  installed.  An 
active  clinical  society  composed  of  members  of  the  staff  holds  meetings  for 
scientific  discussion. 

HARVEY  EYE,  EAR,  NOSE  AND 
THROAT  HOSPITAL 

The  Harvey  Eye,  Ear,  Nose  and  Throat  Hospital  was  organized  in  that 
southern  suburb  of  Chicago  on  June  1,  1920  by  Doctors  Clarence  A.  Hercu- 
les, R.  A.  Rutz  and  Frank  Leslie.  The  institution  is  under  the  control  of 
Doctors  Hercules  and  Rutz  and  B.  J.  Schulman,  the  last-named  being  a 
dentist  in  Harvey. 

With  two  beds  in  the  hospital,  cases  requiring  nursing  service  over  periods 
of  many  days  are  not  admitted.  Since  its  organization,  the  hospital  has 
cared  for  more  than  150  patients  a  year. 

The  hospital  is  now  housed  in  a  business  building  in  Harvey,  but  it  is 
planned  to  erect  a  permanent  and  separate  home  for  it.

ILLINOIS   MASONIC   HOSPITAL 
834   Wellington   Avenue 


ILLINOIS     MASONIC     HOSPITAL 

Following  a  ninety  day  campaign  among  the  Masonic  fraternity  of  Cook 
County,  funds  were  acquired  by  the  Illinois  Masonic  Hospital  Association  to 
purchase  on  April  30,  1921,  the  Chicago  Union  Hospital,  for  twenty  years  a 
going  concern  of  sixty  beds.  The  institution  is  located  at  834-844  Wellington 
Avenue.  Its  name  was  changed  to  the  Illinois  Masonic  Hospital. 

The  organizers  of  the  association  controlling  the  hospital,  who  held  their 
first  meeting  under  the  charter  October  1,  1909,  were  James  B.  McFatrich, 
Andrew  N.  Engle,  Robert  J.  Daly,  Thomas  McGrath,  Henry  Steinbock,  John 
A.  Lyons,  D.  A.  Payne,  Howard  R.  Appleget,  Frank  A.  West,  James  Hill,  E. 
F.  Dannenberg,  Edgar  W.  Chestermann,  Vivian  Scott,  Dan  E.  Meyer  and  C. 
D.  Pence.  The  Illinois  Masonic  Hospital  Association  is  now  composed  of  745 
representatives  from  395  Masonic  and  allied  bodies.  There  are  also  seventeen 
regularly  elected  honorary  members. 

The  administration  of  the  hospital  association  is  in  the  hands  of  twenty-one 
trustees  elected  by  representatives  from  the  Masonic  bodies  and  nine  trustees 
who  represent  the  Grand  Lodge,  Grand  Chapter,  Grand  Council,  Grand  Com- 
mandery,  Grand  O.  E.  S.,  Grand  Conclave  T.  K.,  Oriental  Consistory,  Me- 
dinah  Temple  and  Aryan  Grotto.  The  principal  officers  elected  at  the  time  of 
organization  were  Dr.  William  E.  Buehler,  president;  Ray  L.  Smith,  secre- 
tary, and  George  F.  Loring,  treasurer. 

The  object  of  the  hospital  is  to  provide  a  place  of  treatment  for  master  ma- 
sons, members  of  the  Eastern  Star  and  those  dependent  upon  them.  The  oc- 
cupants are  equally  divided  between  charity  and  pay  patients.

UNITED  STATES  PUBLIC  HEALTH 

HOSPITAL     No.     2.      (Edward   Hines,  Jr.,  Hospital.) 

United  States  Public  Health  Hospital  Number  2  at  Broadview  (Maywood) 
stands  as  a  memorial  to  Edward  Hines,  Jr.,  a  graduate  of  the  first  Reserve 
Officers  Training  Camp  at  Fort  Sheridan.  While  with  the  combat  forces 
in  the  field  in  France,  Lieutenant  Hines  was  stricken  with  illness  and  died 
in  the  infirmary  at  General  Headquarters,  Chaumont. 

His  deep  personal  loss  prompted  Edward  Hines,  Sr.,  to  take  an  especial 
interest  in  hospitalization  for  soldiers  and  sailors,  which  resulted  in  the  erec- 
tion of  the  largest  single  fireproof  hospital  in  the  world.  It  is  2,040  feet 
long,  50  feet  wide  and  four  stories  high.  The  value  of  the  property  was 
estimated  in  August,  1918  at  about  $1,600,000,  of  which  Mr.  Hines  is  said  to 
have  contributed  $1,190,000. 

By  special  order  the  government  designated  the  hospital  as  Edward  Hines, 
Jr.,  Hospital.  It  was  opened  in  September,  1921. 

The  present  bed  capacity  is  925.  In  addition  to  the  usual  patients'  wards 
and  auxiliary  rooms,  there  are  a  number  of  solaria,  day  rooms,  billiard  and 
card  rooms  and  a  library.  The  grounds  are  ample,  consisting  of  320  acres. 
There  is  a  golf  links  on  the  grounds  and  it  is  planned  to  add  swimming  pools 
and  other  aids  to  recreation. 

The  character  of  patients  treated  in  the  hospital  includes  tubercular,  neuro- 
psychiatric,  general  medical  and  surgical  and  orthopedic.  On  June  23,  1922, 
when  this  article  was  written,  there  were  764  patients  under  treatment. 


JOHN     B  .     MURPHY     HOSPITAL 

The  name  of  one  of  the  world's  leading  surgeons  is  perpetuated  in  the 
John  B.  Murphy  Hospital  at  628  Belmont  Avenue.  The  hospital  was  organ- 
ized in  1921  by  a  group  of  physicians  and  surgeons  headed  by  the  late  Dr. 
Frank  Byrnes.  Others  in  the  group  included  Doctors  James  J.  McGuinn, 
A.  Cosmas  Garvy,  John  S.  Wa liner  and  Gaston  C.  Parker. 

The  plans  of  the  hospital  call  for  a.  building  to  accommodate  250  patients 
at  an  approximate  cost  of  $800,000.  One  wing  of  this  structure,  accommodat- 
ing 100  patients,  has  been  completed.  The  late  Mrs.  Murphy,  widow  of  the 
surgeon,  donated  $10,000  toward  the  equipment  of  the  operating  rooms.

"HEALTH      DEPARTMENT 

\Yhen  Chicago  was  incorporated  as  a  town  in  1833,  Fort  Dearborn  still 
existed  as  an  army  post.  The  first  frame  house  in  the  city,  built  for  "Billy" 
Caldwell,  the  half-breed,  stood  at  what  is  now  the  corner  of  Chicago  Avenue 
and  North  State  Street.  Three  years  before  James  Thompson  had  surveyed 
and  laid  off  the  town  of  Chicago  for  the  Illinois  and  Michigan  Canal  com- 
missioners. These  officials,  reporting  to  the  legislature,  had  said,  "This  town 
is  situated  on  the  Chicago  River  near  its  mouth  and  possesses  many  advan- 
tages. .  .  .  It  is  the  only  site  for  a  town  on  the  lake  .  .  .  and  from  the 
long  experience  of  its  inhabitants  is  decidedly  healthful." 

Cook  county  had  been  organized  in  1831.  The  population  of  Chicago  was 
100.  Five  marriage  licenses  were  issued.  In  September,  4,000  Indians  had 
gathered  in  Chicago  to  receive  their  annuities  and  the  scenes  of  debauchery 
and  violence  which  occurred  are  described  as  being  "most  disgusting  and 
terrible."  In  1832,  during  the  Blackhawk  war,  General  Winfield  Scott  had 
arrived  with  a  detachment  of  troops  on  the  "Sheldon  Thompson,"  the  first 
steamer  to  reach  the  city. 

Coming  from  the  east,  where  the  cholera  had  been  prevalent,  the  troops  had 
brought  the  plague  with  them.  Despite  the  efforts  of  Dr.  Elijah  D.  Harmon, 
surgeon  at  Fort  Dearborn,  and  his  assistant,  Dr.  DeCamp,  forty-eight  citi- 
zens a-id  soldiers  died.  Throughout  the  year,  settlers  flocked  to  the  hamlet 
on  account  of  the  war  scare,  so  that  the  population  rose  to  700,  most  of  whom 
were  children. 

At  that  time  Dr.  Harmon  had  amputated  the  frozen  foot  of  a  half-breed 
Canadian  who  had  been  carrying  the  mail  between  Chicago  and  Green  Bay. 
It  was  the  first  recorded  major  operation  in  the  city.  Now  was  erected  the 
first  public  building,  an  estray  pen  located  on  the  site  of  the  present  city 
hall  and  county  building.  The  contractor's  bill  of  $20  was  reduced  to  $12 
because  the  work  was  not  according  to  specifications.  In  those  days,  Philo 
Carpenter  was  conducting  the  first  drug  store  and  John  M.  Noble  was 
slaughtering  the  first  cattle  in  Dole's  warehouse  at  the  corner  of  Michigan 
Avenue  and  Madison  Street. 

Thus  is  adumbrated  the  Chicago  of  the  day  when  the  general  assembly 
sanctioned  its  organization  as  a  town.  Relative  to  health  matters,  the  fol- 
lowing powers  were  bestowed  upon  the  president  and  the  trustees : 

1.  To  prevent  and  remove  nuisances. 

2.  To  regulate  and  establish  markets. 

3.  To  sink  and  keep  in  repair  public  wells. 

The  first  health  ordinance  passed  declared  it  unlawful  to  "throw  or  put 
into  the  Chicago  River,  within  the  limits  of  the  town,  any  carcass  of  any 
dead  animal  or  animals,  under  a  penalty  of  three  dollars  for  each  offense." 

The  town  was  growing  rapidly.  Harriet  Martineau,  the  renowned  traveler, 
writes  that  she  never  saw  a  busier  place  than  Chicago.  Accessions  to  the 
population  from  all  parts  of  the  east  and  the  absence  of  proper  sanitation 
engendered  fear  of  another  outbreak  of  cholera,  so  the  village  trustees 
appointed  a  vigilance  committee  consisting  of  Doctors  William  Bradshaw 
Egan  and  J.  C.  Goodhue  and  eleven  laymen.  Their  duty  was  to  inspect  all 
houses  and  yards  and  to  direct  the  owners  to  put  these  in  good  condition  on 

*  The  following  sketch  is  an  abridgement  of  "Annals  of  Health  and  Sanitation  in  Chicago,"  compiled  by 
Dr.  G.  Koehler,  assistant  commissioner  of  health,  and  first  printed  in  the  octennial  report  of  the  department 
of  health  for  1911-1918,  which  was  published  under  the  direction  of  Dr.  John  Dill  Robertson,  then  com- 
missioner of  health.

twenty-four  hours'  notice.  A  reminder  of  the  previous  epidemic  was  the 
report  of  a  boatman  who,  while  paddling  up  the  river,  had  perceived  the 
ends  of  bark  coffins  projecting  through  the  sand  dunes  and  had  occasionally 
noted  the  exposed  contents. 

Soon  two  cemeteries  were  established  and  burial  in  other  parts  of  the 
town  was  prohibited.  The  north  side  cemetery  was  located  in  Chicago  Ave- 
nue close  to  the  lake  shore  and  the  one  on  the  south  side  near  Twenty-third 
Street  and  Wabash  Avenue.  Other  sanitary  measures  at  this  time  included 
the  construction  of  a  plank  sewer  in  Dearborn  Street  from  Lake  Street  to 
the  river  and  the  building  of  a  drainage  ditch  and  road  in  Clark  Street  at  a 
cost  of  $396.  Anson  Sweet,  who  built  the  Dearborn  Street  sewer,  was  cen- 
sured for  the  expense  incurred. 

Upon  the  incorporation  of  the  City  of  Chicago  in  1837,  the  first  board  of 
health  was  constituted  as  follows : 

Mayor  William  B.  Ogden,  ex-officio  president;  Dr.  J.  W.  Eldridge,  A.  N. 
Fullerton,  D.  Cox,  elected  by  the  city  council ;  I.  N.  Arnold,  city  clerk, 
ex-officio  clerk  of  the  board  of  health. 

Dr.  Daniel  Brainard,  who  in  the  same  year  had  obtained  the  charter  for 
Rush  Medical  College,  was  appointed  health  officer. 

The  following  powers  were  vested  in  the  board  of  health  in  the  act  of 
incorporation : 

"1.  Ordering  boats  or  vessels  moved  to  a  distance  not  exceeding  three 
miles  beyond  the  city  limits  within  six  hours  after  delivering  their  cargo,  if 
the  board  believes  or  suspects  that  such  boat  or  vessel  may  bring  or  spread 
pestilential  or  infectious  diseases. 

"2.  To  order  all  persons  in  said  city,  not  residents  thereof,  who  shall  be 
infected  with  infectious  or  pestilential  disease,  and  all  things  which  they 
believe  to  be  infected  or  tainted  with  pestilential  matter,  removed  to  a  place 
not  exceeding  three  miles  beyond  the  bounds  of  the  city. 

"3.  Persons  practicing  physic  are  required  to  report  to  the  clerk  of  the 
board  of  health  the  patient  suffering  from  any  malignant  or  yellow  fever, 
or  other  infectious  or  pestilential  disease." 

In  1838,  laborers  in  the  construction  of  the  Illinois  and  Michigan  canal 
became  afflicted  with  a  disease  resembling  cholera,  which  struck  them  down 
very  suddenly.  Nearly  all  who  resided  along  the  line  of  excavation  suffered 
with  "autumnal  fever"  and  almost  all  the  laborers  were  affected  in  the  same 
way. 

The  first  distribution  of  water  through  "mains"  began  in  1840  when  the 
Hydraulic  Company  undertook  to  pipe  the  supply  through  bored  logs  laid 
underground.  The  "intake"  was  an  iron  pipe  extending  150  feet  into  the 
lake.  The  pumping  station  was  equipped  with  a  25-horsepower  steam  plant. 

The  first  attempt  to  gather  vital  statistics  was  made  in  1841,  when,  in 
response  to  a  petition  from  physicians  of  the  city,  the  city  council  passed 
an  ordinance  requiring  attending  physicians  to  give  a  certificate  of  death, 
which  was  to  be  given  to  the  city  sexton  before  burial  \vas  made.  The 
report  of  the  city  sexton  for  1843  shows  a  death  rate  of  1  to  64.78  of  the 
population.  In  this  year,  a  city  hospital  was  built  at  a  cost  of  $200  and, 
owing  to  the  continued  prevalence  of  scarlet  fever,  $300  was  expended  for 
an  addition  in  1845. 

That  Chicago  was  fast  approaching  urban  dignity  is  indicated  by  the 
fact  that  about  this  time  the  city  council  passed  an  ordinance  prohibiting 


HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO  343 

owners  from  allowing  hogs  to  run  at  large  on  the  streets.  Scavenger  service 
was.  started  in  1846,  collections  being  made  every  Saturday  morning. 

The  first  general  hospital  in  the  city  was  established  the  following  year 
at  North  Water  and  Dearborn  Streets,  Dr.  Joseph  W.  Freer  being  the  first 
interne.  In  1848,  Dr.  H.  S.  Huber  was  appointed  city  physician  without 
salary  and  it  was  during  his  term  that  Chicago  had  its  first  smallpox  scare. 
Among  the  measures  adopted  at  this  time  was  the  distribution  of  handbills 
giving  the  names  of  physicians  willing  to  vaccinate,  without  charge,  those 
unable  to  pay  and  calling  upon  all  persons  not  vaccinated  to  be  vaccinated 
without  delay. 

In  anticipation  of  cholera,  which  was  then  raging  in  the  south,  a  public 
meeting  was  held  in  1849,  at  which  resolutions  were  adopted  demanding  the 
cleansing  of  the  city.  On  March  10,  the  resolutions  were  presented  to  the 
city  council  by  Dr.  Brockholst  McVickar,  chairman  of  a  select  committee. 
Between  April  2  and  23,  forty-five  assistant  health  officers  were  appointed. 
Despite  the  precautions,  the  cholera  was  brought  to  the  city  in  the  emigrant 
boat,  John  Drew,  a  craft  which  came  to  the  city  via  the  canal,  April  29,  car- 
rying passengers  from  New  Orleans.  The  deaths  from  cholera  during  the 
year  numbered  678,  or  one  in  36  of  the  entire  population.  The  families  using 
hydrant  water  brought  in  from  Lake  Michigan  suffered  less  than  those  using 
well  water.  About  this  time,  Dr.  Levi  D.  Boone  was  appointed  city  physi- 
cian after  having  served  three  terms  as  alderman. 

Cholera  reappeared  in  July,  1850,  and  from  July  18  to  August  21,  416 
persons  succumbed  to  the  disease.  Four  more  deaths  occurred  in  September. 
Small  wonder  that  plagues  occurred,  for  the  sewerage  system  was  primi- 
tive and  in  many  streets  there  were  only  gutters  serving  as  drains.  In  the 
business  section  the  sewers  were  made  of  heavy  oak  planks.  They  were 
triangular  in  shape  and  placed  in  the  center  of  the  roadway.  The  streets  were 
planked  and  the  gutters  often  clogged  up,  leaving  pools  of  foul  liquid  in  the 
thoroughfare. 

The  Illinois  General  Hospital  at  the  corner  of  Rush  and  North  Water 
streets  was  the  first  private  hospital  opened  (1850).  During  the  first  year  it 
was  aided  by  a  course  of  public  lectures  given  by  Dr.  N.  S.  Davis  on  the  sani- 
tary conditions  of  the  city  and  the  means  of  their  improvement.  From  the 
tickets  sold  for  the  course  the  sum  of  $100  was  realized.  A  year  later  this 
institution  became  Mercy  Hospital. 

Under  the  city  charter  of  1851  a  board  of  water  commissioners  was  created 
and  these  commissioners,  when  chosen,  promptly  undertook  the  construction 
of  water  works  at  Chicago  Avenue. 

Asiatic  cholera  recurred  in  1852,  causing  630  deaths.  The  total  number  of 
deaths  from  the  plague  from  1849  to  1852  inclusive  was  1,944,  or  one  death  in 
each  64  of  the  population  for  the  four  years. 

An  ordinance  was  passed  in  1854  providing  for  a  system  of  quarantine  for 
cholera  and  smallpox  cases,  but  the  number  of  deaths  this  year  was  greater 
than  in  any  previous  year,  due  mainly  to  the  prevalence  of  smallpox,  from 
which  there  were  1,424  deaths. 

The  Chicago  Avenue  pumping  works  was  put  into  operation  in  February, 
1854.  It  served  a  population  of  70,000. 

Though  there  were  1,571  deaths  from  cholera  during  the  epidemics  of  1854 
and  1855,  the  proportionate  mortality  had  been  reduced  to  1  in  92. 


344  HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO 

The  city  council  abolished  the  board  of  health  and  also  the  offices  of  health 
officer  and  city  physician  in  1860. 

A  board  of  police  and  a  board  of  public  works  having  been  created  by  the 
general  assembly  in  1861,  the  board  of  police  was  charged  among  other  things 
with  guarding  the  public  health  and  in  1862  Policeman  Charles  S.  Perry  was 
appointed  acting  health  officer.  Diphtheria  became  more  common  and  small- 
pox became  epidemic.  The  typhoid  and  scarlet  fever  death  rates  also  increased 
during  the  year  and  there  was  a  marked  augmentation  of  deaths  from  all 
causes.  Dr.  N.  S.  Davis  called  attention  to  the  grave  dangers  which  menaced 
the  city  on  account  of  the  neglect  of  sanitary  conditions  and  said :  "I  know 
of  no  other  city,  except  Chicago,  with  a  population  of  110,000,  that  has  neither 
a  health  officer,  a  board  of  health  or  any  other  official  sanitary  organization." 

This  anomaly  continued  with  baleful  effect  until  1867,  when  the  general 
assembly  enacted  a  law  providing  that  the  mayor  and  six  other  persons  to  be 
appointed  by  the  judges  of  the  Superior  court  should  constitute  a  board  of 
health.  Three  of  the  members  were  to  be  physicians.  Dr.  Hosmer  A.  Johnson 
was  chosen  president  of  the  board  and  Dr.  John  H.  Ranch  was  appointed 
sanitary  superintendent.  Under  the  latter  were  sixteen  sanitary  inspectors. 

Forwith  the  board  of  health  and  Dr.  Ranch  adopted  the  most  energetic 
means  for  the  prevention  of  disease  and  the  sanitary  regeneration  of  Chicago. 
From  this  time  the  city  began  to  take  its  place  in  the  sun,  for  it  was  then  that 
a  program  of  sanitation  was  formulated  whose  evolution  has  resulted  in  mak- 
ing Chicago  one  of  the  most  healthful  cities  in  the  world. 

In  1876  the  Department  of  Health  was  created,  superseding  the  Board  of 
Health.  Dr.  Brockholst  McVickar  was  the  first  health  commissioner.  The 
following  year  he  was  succeeded  by  Dr.  Oscar  DeWolf,  who  held  the  office 
for  twelve  years.  Dr.  DeWolf  inaugurated  many  of  the  measures  which  in 
later  years  proved  effective  in  the  prevention  of  disease.  In  1877  the  health 
department  made  a  special  study  of  lake  pollution,  which  was  found  to  be 
derived  from  two  sources,  the  Chicago  river  and  the  dumping  of  refuse.  In 
1878  indictments  were  returned  against  twenty-seven  operators  of  slaughter- 
ing and  rendering  plants  for  creating  and  maintaining  public  nuisances.  This 
campaign  was  inaugurated  by  the  Health  Department  and  finally  resulted  in 
the  establishment  of  all  slaughter  houses  outside  of  what  were  then  the  city 
limits. 

In  1881  there  was  a  large  influx  of  immigrants  and  a  severe  epidemic  of 
smallpox  occurred  among  them.  There  were  3,000  cases,  resulting  in  1,180 
deaths.  In  this  year  the  sanitation  of  tenements,  workshops  and  lodging 
houses  was  brought  under  the  control  of  the  Department  of  Health  by  the 
enactment  of  a  law  which  required  all  plans  of  such  buildings  to  be  submitted 
to  the  health  commissioner  for  approval. 

In  1882  the  smallpox  epidemic  continued  with  3,000  cases  and  1,292  deaths. 
The  death  rate  was  23.02  the  100,000,  the  highest  from  smallpox  in  the  history 
of  the  city. 

In  1884  a  smoke  inspector  was  appointed  under  the  jurisdiction  of  the 
department  of  healt> .  In  the  following  year  a  drainage  canal  was  suggested 
and  outlined  by  Messrs.  Cooley,  Guthrie  and  Dr.  Frank  W.  Reilly  in  the 
report  of  a  sub-committee  of  the  Citizen's  Association  Committee  on  drainage 
and  water  supply.  At  this  time  Professor  J.  H.  Long  made  an  examination 
of  the  city's  milk  supply,  finding  that  half  of  the  samples  were  below  grade 
and  suggesting  the  chemical  standards  which  were  subsequently  adopted. 


HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO  345 

From  this  developed  the  present  milk  inspection  work  of  the  department. 
Now  in  an  editorial  in  the  Morning  News  Dr.  Reilly  first  called  attention  to 
flies  as  carriers  of  disease.  Thus  Dr.  Reilly  was  the  original  "Swat  the  fly" 
advocate  in  Chicago. 

The  agitation  for  a  drainage  canal  had  continued  and  in  1886  Dr.  John  H. 
Ranch,  then  secretary  of  the  State  Board  of  Health,  formally  recommended 
diversion  of  sewage  from  the  lake  into  the  river  and  the  proposed  canal  and 
dilution  thereof  with  an  average  of  14,000  cubic  feet  of  water  for  every  100,000 
inhabitants. 

Inspection  of  plumbing  in  31,171  occupied  dwellings  was  made  in  1887.  In 
eighty-five  per  cent  the  plumbing  was  found  defective. 

Dr.  Swayne  Wickersham  became  commissioner  of  health  in  1889  and  Dr. 
Heman  Spalding  entered  the  department  as  a  medical  inspector.  At  this 
time  the  general  assembly  created  the  sanitary  district  of  Chicago. 

The  year  1890  witnessed  a  severe  outbreak  of  influenza,  which  lasted  from 
January  to  April.  The  mortality  rates  in  the  three  next  succeeding  years 
were  very  high,  principally  due  to  respiratory  diseases. 

Dr.  John  D.  Ware  was  appointed  commissioner  of  health  in  1891.  During 
this  period  occurred  the  highest  typhoid  fever  death  rate  in  the  history  of 
the  city.  The  ratio  was  173.8  the  100,000  of  population.  In  1892  the  typhoid 
death  rate  was  124.1  the  100,000. 

The  world's  fair  year,  1893,  saw  the  appointment  of  Dr.  Arthur  R.  Reynolds 
as  commissioner  of  health.  Thirty  million  persons  visited  the  city  during  the 
exhibition,  resulting  in  great  overcrowding. 

A  vigorous  campaign  against  smallpox  was  conducted  by  the  health  depart- 
ment at  this  time.  An  ordinance  was  passed  establishing  the  municipal  lab- 
oratory and  the  division  of  milk  inspection  was  brought  under  the  jurisdiction 
of  the  department.  Despite  the  precautions  that  had  been  taken,  the  following 
year  brought  with  it  an  epidemic  of  smallpox,  resulting  in  1,033  deaths.  Here- 
upon 1,084,500  vaccinations  were  performed.  Plans  were  made  at  this  time 
for  the  construction  of  a  large  isolation  hospital.  This  institution  was  com- 
pleted two  years  later. 

Dr.  Frank  W.  Reilly  became  associated  with  the  health  department  and 
was  appointed  assistant  commissioner  in  January,  1895.  Later  in  the  year 
Mr.  W.  R.  Kerr  was  appointed  commissioner  of  health,  but  the  sanitary 
administrative  work  was  thrown  largely  on  Dr.  Reilly.  The  following  year, 
through  Dr.  Reilly's  efforts,  the  first  diphtheria  anti-toxin  was  issued.  A 
corps  of  anti-toxin  administrators  was  appointed.  Later  the  effects  of  their 
work  were  tabulated  and  the  great  change  wrought  in  the  mortality  of  the 
disease  was  demonstrated. 

For  the  second  time  Dr.  Reynolds  became  commissioner  of  health  in  1897, 
holding  office  for  eight  years. 

In  1900  the  new  drainage  channel  was  opened.  Its  total  cost  was  $45,- 
220,588. 

At  this  time  the  health  department  published  a  study  of  the  increasing 
duration  of  life  in  Chicago  and  demonstrated  that  the  average  term  had 
more  than  doubled  in  a  single  generation.  The  average  for  1898  was  29.4 
years  as  compared  with  13.9  years  in  1869.  Concurrently  was  made  the 
announcement  that  the  Chicago  Health  Department  had  been  awarded  the 
gold  medal  at  the  Paris  Exposition  for  its  display  showing  methods  of  work 


346  HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO 

and  results  accomplished,  and  the  following  year  the  department  was  granted 
a  medal  at  the  Pan-American  Exposition  in  Buffalo. 

In  1904  the  Chicago  Health  Department  was  given  the  highest  award  by 
the  Louisiana  Purchase  Exposition  at  St.  Louis  for  the  best  and  most  compre- 
hensive display  of  public  health  methods. 

Another  triumph  came  in  the  next  year,  during  the  administration  of  Dr. 
Charles  J.  Whalen  as  health  commissioner  (he  was  appointed  in  1905),  when 
the  record  revealed  the  second  lowest  annual  death  rate  from  all  causes  in 
the  history  of  the  city.  The  ratio  was  13.98  per  1,000.  The  average  age  at 
death  in  the  city  had  now  become  31  years  and  10  months,  an  increase  of 
100  per  cent  over  1874. 

In  December,  1905,  the  Thirty-ninth  street  intercepting  sewer  was  opened, 
diverting  all  sewage  from  the  lake  between  Thirty-first  and  Seventy-fifth 
streets.  This  was  followed  by  a  marked  fall  in  the  typhoid  fever  death  rate. 

The  first  bacteriologic  examination  of  milk  from  dairy  farms  was  made  in 
1906,  following  a  local  outbreak  of  typhoid  fever,  traced  to  milk.  Late  in 
this  year  the  Bulletin  of  the  Department  of  Health  was  first  circulated  as  a 
weekly  publication. 

Dr.  William  A.  Evans  was  appointed  commissioner  of  health  in  1907  and 
in  the  same  year  Chicago  was  awarded  the  silver  prize  for  tuberculosis  control 
ordinances  by  The  International  Congress  on  Tuberculosis.  Dr.  G.  Koehler 
was  appointed  chief  of  the  bureau  of  food  inspection  August  10.  The  records 
now  showed  the  lowest  diphtheria  death  rate— 2.7  per  10,000. 

Under  Dr.  Evans  the  publicity  work  of  the  health  department  was  greatly 
extended,  especially  along  the  lines  of  infant  mortality  and  respiratory  disease 
prevention.  Thus  much  attention  was  given  to  pure  milk  and  fresh  air.  A 
weekly  foreign  language  and  neighborhood  press  service  was  established. 
Lectures  were  also  given  in  foreign  languages.  Fresh  air  schools  were 
opened.  Rules  were  promulgated  regulating  the  pasteurization  of  milk  and 
the  tuberculin  testing  of  cows.  The  first  board  of  directors  of  the  Municipal 
Tuberculosis  Sanitarium  was  appointed,  consisting  of  Harlow  N.  Higin- 
botham,  president;  Dr.  Theodore  B.  Sachs,  secretary,  and  Dr.  William  A. 
Evans.  A  baby  welfare  campaign  was  carried  on  by  house  to  house  visiting. 
In  this,  health  department  nurses  cooperated  with  social  agencies. 

Dr.  Koehler  was  appointed  assistant  health  commissioner  February  25, 
1910.  The  following  year  Dr.  George  B.  Young  was  chosen  health  com- 
missioner. 

In  March,  1912,  chlorination  of  the  water  supply  was  begun,  calcium  hypo- 
chlorite  solution  being  first  applied  at  the  E.  F.  Dunne  crib  in  an  experimental 
way.  Later  the  treatment  was  extended  to  the  Hyde  Park  crib  and  was  used 
when  the  wind  was  off  shore.  The  treatments  were  discontinued  on  account 
of  the  solution  freezing  in  the  temporary  installations. 

Significant  was  the  announcement  made  in  1913  by  the  Journal  of  the 
American  Medical  Association  that  Chicago's  typhoid  rate  for  the  previous 
year  was  7.5  per  100,000 — the  second  lowest  typhoid  rate  of  any  city  in  the 
United  States  with  a  population  of  500,000  or  over. 

In  1914  construction  of  the  new  Municipal  Contagious  Disease  Hospital 
was  begun. 

Dr.  John  Dill  Robertson  was  appointed  commissioner  of  health  April  27, 
1915.  In  this  same  year  the  Municipal  Tuberculosis  Sanitarium  was  opened. 


HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO  347 

The  treatment  of  the  water  supply  with  liquid  chlorine  was  begun,  first  at 
the  Chicago  Avenue  pumping  station  in  September,  and  next  at  the  Twenty- 
second  Street  pumping  station  in  December. 

The  typhoid  death  rate  was  now  5.4  per  100,000.  The  lowest  death  rate  of 
children  under  one  year  of  age  was  also  recorded.  This  was  2.53  per  10,000 
of  population.  The  capacity  of  the  Municipal  Tuberculosis  Sanitarium  was 
increased  to  1.000  beds. 

In  1916  Doctors  Mathers,  Herzog  and  Nuzum  isolated  a  pleomorphic 
coccus  from  cases  of  infantile  paralysis  at  Cook  County  Hospital,  producing 
a  flaccid  paralysis  in  monkeys,  rabbits  and  young1  dogs  when  inoculated. 

On  October  6  of  this  year  liquid  chlorine  treatment  was  extended  to  the 
entire  water  supply  with  the  completion  of  the  installation  at  the  Springfield 
Avenue  pumping  station. 

In  the  beginning-  of  1917  the  new  Municipal  Contagious  Disease  Hospital 
was  opened. 

The  typhoid  death  rate  this  year  was  1.7  per  100,000  of  population.  This 
was  the  lowest  typhoid  rate  of  any  city  in  the  United  States  with  a  popula- 
tion of  100,000  or  over.  Now  was  attained  the  second  lowest  tuberculosis 
death  rate  on  record — 149  per  100,000. 

The  pandemic  of  influenza  reached  Chicago  September  21,  1918  and 
achieved  its  maximum  on  October  17,  on  which  day  381  deaths  from  pneu- 
monia and  influenza  occurred. 

The  lowest  typhoid  fever  death  rate  in  the  city  was  recorded  in  1918 — 1.4 
the  100,000.  This  rate  was  lower  than  that  of  any  city  in  the  United  States 
with  a  population  of  100,000  or  over.  The  lowest  tuberculosis  death  rate  on 
record  was  also  noted.  This  was  147  per  100,000.  The  scarlet  fever  morbidity 
and  mortality  rates  dropped  to  1.8  the  100,000,  the  lowest  recorded  for  the  city. 

In  January,  1919,  the  health  department  won  its  first  case  in  the  prosecution 
of  landlords  for  failure  to  supply  sufficient  heat  to  tenants.  On  July  7  an 
ordinance  was  passed  creating  the  bureau  of  foods,  markets  and  farm  prod- 
ucts in  the  health  department. 

The  laboratories  of  the  health  department  and  the  Municipal  Tuberculosis 
Sanitarium  were  consolidated  on  July  31,  and  the  hospital  division  of  labora- 
tories was  opened  on  November  4  at  the  Municipal  Contagious  Disease  Hos- 
pital. In  July  the  enabling  act,  allowing  Chicago  to  frame  and  put  in  force 
a  zoning  plan,  took  effect. 

The  Chicago  Training  School  for  Home  and  Public  Health  Nursing,  the 
need  for  which  was  recognized  in  the  serious  outbreak  of  influenza  in  the  fall 
of  1918,  was  opened  on  August  4  at  1358  Fulton  Street.  The  year  closed  with 
2,100  graduated. 

Other  items  in  the  departments  history  for  1919  were  the  creation  of  a 
division  of  mental  hygiene  and  neurology  on  November  1  and  the  transfer 
of  smoke  inspection  to  the  department  on  December  22. 

The  lowest  death  rate  in  the  history  of  the  city — 12.52  per  1,000  of  popula- 
tion was  recorded.  Deaths  from  diptheria  totaled  592,  the  lowest  number  in 
twelve  years  and  a  reduction  of  30  per  cent  from  the  average  for  the  four- 
year  period,  1915-18.  The  typhoid  fever  rate  reached  the  low  mark  of  .116  per 
10.000  of  population.  Ninety-nine  cases  of  smallpox  were  reported,  as  com- 
pared with  292  reported  cases  in  1917  and  266  cases  in  1918.

HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO 


Early  in  1920  an  advisory  board,  consisting  of  two  representatives  from  the 
board  of  education,  one  from  the  Municipal  Tuberculosis  Sanitarium  and  one 
from  the  health  department,  was  established  to  act  in  an  advisory  capacity  to 
the  commissioner  of  health  and  the  superintendent  of  schools  in  matters  per- 
taining to  health  activities  in  the  schools. 

The  right  of  the  health  department  to  quarantine  persons  found  to  be  car- 
riers of  contagion  was  upheld  in  the  Superior  Court  of  Cook  County.  From 
November  24  to  29,  the  Health  and  Sanitation  Exposition  was  held  in  the 
Coliseum  under  the  direction  of  the  health  department. 

The  lowest  death  rate  ever  attained  in  the  history  of  the  city,  11  per  1,000 
of  population,  was  recorded  in  1921.  This  was  the  fifth  successive  year  in 
which  Chicago  had  the  lowest  typhoid  fever  rate  of  any  large  city,  the  record 
for  1921  being  .107  per  10,000  of  population. 

Deaths  from  tuberculosis  were  reduced  from  twelve  a  day  in  1915  to  six  a 
day  in  1921.  The  two  principal  degenerative  diseases,  organic  heart  disease 
and  chronic  nephritis,  showed  200  fewer  deaths  than  for  1920.  The  number 
of  communicable  diseases  reported  for  the  year  1921  was  73,764,  as  against 
109,788  for  1920. 

On  February  1,  1922,  Dr.  John  Dill  Robertson  resigned  as  commissioner  of 
health,  and  was  succeeded  by  Dr.  Herman  N.  Bundesen,  appointed  by  Mayor 
William  Hale  Thompson. 

Shortly  after  taking  office  the  new  commissioner  of  health  advocated  the 
single  standard  of  morality  and  the  isolation  of  men  as  well  as  women 
afflicted  with  social  diseases.  Theretofore  only  women  arrested  by  the 
police  had  been  detained  for  physical  examination.

^CHICAGO      MEDICAL     SOCIETY 

On  April  15,  1850,  a  group  of  doctors  met,  in  answer  to  invitations  issued 
to  all  of  the  regular  physicians  and  surgeons  in  Chicago,  for  the  purpose 
of  effecting  a  permanent  organization.  Four  days  later  the  group  re- 
assembled and,  after  adopting  a  constitution,  elected  officers  and  named 
delegates  to  that  year's  convention  of  the  American  Medical  Association. 
From  this  beginning  there  has  been  developed  the  present  Chicago  Medi- 
cal Society,  with  a  total  membership  of  3,972,  the  largest  in  numerical 
strength  of  the  local  medical  societies  of  the  world.  With  its  many  activi- 
ties, it  may  also  be  said  to  be  the  most  alert  and  progressive. 

The  preliminary  meeting  was  held  in  the  office  of  Doctors  Levi  D.  Boone 
and  Brockholst  McYickar.  Dr.  David  Rutter  was  made  chairman  of  the 
proceedings,  in  which  Dr.  Nathan  S.  Davis  took  an  active  part.  In  fact, 
as  Dr.  Davis  has  become  known  as  the  "Father  of  the  American  Medical 
Association,"  so  may  he  be  called  the  "Father  of  the  Chicago  Medical  So- 
ciety." For  it  was  he  who  first  advocated  a  local  organization  of  physicians 
and,  in  its  early  days  of  trial,  by  his  dominant  personality  succeeded  in 
holding  this  organization  intact. 

April  19,  1850,  may  be  accepted  as  the  actual  date  of  birth  of  the  Chicago 
Medical  Society,  the  name  then  given  to  the  organization.  At  the  meeting 
on  that  day,  Dr.  Levi  D.  Boone  was  elected  president ;  Dr.  Erial  McArthur, 
vice-president ;  and  Dr.  Brockholst  McVickar,  secretary.  Doctors  Boone 
and  John  Evans  were  selected  as  delegates  to  the  convention  of  the  Ameri- 
can Medical  Association.  It  was  decided  to  hold  meetings  on  the  first 
Monday  of  each  month. 

Among  those  who  took  part  in  the  formal  organization  were,  besides 
those  mentioned,  Doctors  Daniel  Brainard,  W.  B.  Herrick,  Edwin  G.  Meek, 
J.  Herman  Bird,  J.  V.  Z.  Blaney,  Samuel  W.  Richey  and  Philip  Maxwell. 
Dr.  N.  S.  Davis  is  quoted  in  Andreas'  History  of  Chicago  to  the  effect  that, 
previous  to  the  organization  of  the  society,  the  medical  profession  in  Chicago 
had  been  so  divided  into  rival  factions  that  many  thought  it  would  be 
impossible  to  secure  sufficient  harmony  to  maintain  a  social  organization 
among  the  members.  That  there  was  ground  for  the  belief  is  shown  by  the 
fact  that  several  doctors  who  participated  in  the  organization  refrained 
from  attending  any  meetings  after  the  first  election  of  officers. 

After  the  second  election  of  officers  in  April,  1851,  no  constitutional  quorum 
could  be  obtained.  However  Doctors  Davis,  Bird,  Blaney,  Boone,  Evans, 
Herrick  and  Meek  and  two  or  three  others  continued  to  meet  at  the  stated 
evenings  each  month  and,  owing  to  the  fidelity  of  these  men,  the  society 
continued  to  exist  up  to  the  time  for  the  election  of  officers  in  April,  1852. 
At  this  meeting,  which  was  held  in  the  office  of  Dr.  N.  S.  Davis  and  Dr. 
A.  B.  Palmer,  an  insufficient  number  to  make  a  quorum  was  present. 
Apparently  an  impasse  had  been  reached. 

"Fortunately  those  members  of  the  profession  who  were  antagonistic, 
or  who  had  conspired  to  wreck  the  society,  had  reckoned  without  the  in- 
domitable organizing  ability  of  Dr.  Davis."  writes  Dr.  Emma  \V.  Gillmorc. 
"Almost  before  the  Chicago  Medical  Society  had  ceased  to  exist  on  that 
evening  of  April  5,  1852,  the  handful  of  men  present  reorganized  the  society 


*The  history  of  the  Chicago  Medical  Society  is  based  in  part  upon  "A  Brief  History  of  the  Chicago 
Medical  Society  from  1850  to  October  1.  1902."  compiled  by  Dr.  Emma  Wheat  Gilmore  from  the  society 
records  and  printed  in  the  Chicago  Medical  Recorder  for  April,  1913.  The  later  history  was  obtained 
from  various  sources.

and  rechristened  it  the  Cook  County  Medical  Society.  A  simpler  constitu- 
tion and  by-laws  were  adopted  with  the  same  code  of  ethics  as  that  of  the 
American  Medical  Association.  Regular  meetings  were  to  be  held  once 
a  month.  Dr.  Erial  McArthur,  who  resided  outside  of  the  city  proper,  was 
elected  president,  and  Dr.  Hosmer  A.  Johnson,  secretary.  Dr.  Alonzo  B. 
Palmer  was  made  a  delegate  to  the  American  Medical  Association. 

"The  old  guard  who  were  sponsors  for  the  new  society,  who  had  faith 
in  the  organization  of  medical  men,  and  who  possessed  the  vision  that 
penetrated  into  the  possibilities  of  the  future  sought  for  the  maintenance  of 
the  Cook  County  Medical  Society  among  the  younger  members  of  the  pro- 
fession, not  only  in  Chicago,  but  in  Cook  County.  They  met  regularly  once 
a  month  in  various  physicians'  offices,  were  mutually  inspired  with  en- 
thusiasm and  steadfastness  and  the  society  prospered." 

It  was  perhaps  the  changing  of  the  name  to  the  Cook  County  Medical 
Society  in  1852  that  gave  rise  to  the  erroneous  impression,  which  existed 
for  several  years,  that  that  was  the  year  of  the  organization  of  .the  Chicago 
Medical  Society. 

Dr.  Swayne  Wickersham  presented  a  resolution  on  August  3,  1858,  in 
favor  of  changing  the  name  of  the  organization  from  the  Cook  County 
Medical  Society  to  the  Chicago  Medical  Society.  This  resolution  was 
adopted  and  on  September  7,  1858,  the  medical  organization  once  more  met 
as  the  Chicago  Medical  Society. 

Little  evidence  of  the  existence  of  the  Civil  War  is  exhibited  in  the  records 
of  the  society  with  the  exception  of  the  notation  that,  on  April  19,  1861,  Dr. 
Orren  Smith  presided  and  Dr.  Wickersham  offered  the  following  resolution : 
"Resolved,  that  the  medical  and  surgical  services  of  the  Chicago  Medical 
Society  wjll  be  gratuitously  rendered,  if  solicited,  to  the  families  of  Chicago 
volunteers  who  are  called  into  the  service  of  our  country,  until  they  return 
to  their  homes  or  until  our  nation's  difficulties  are  adjusted." 

On  July  7,  1865,  Dr.  Wickersham  made  a  motion  that  a  committee  should 
be  chosen,  with  Dr.  N.  S.  Davis  as  chairman,  to  remonstrate  with  the  daily 
papers  for  printing  obscene  advertisements.  From  time  to  time  later  records 
show  that  Dr.  Davis  fought  with  his  customary  persistency  against  adver- 
tisements that  have  a  tendency  to  lower  the  moral  standard  of  the  laity  and 
decrease  the  dignity  of  the  medical  profession. 

Sole  reference  to  the  death  of  Abraham  Lincoln  is  found  in  the  minutes 
of  December  13,  1867,  when  Dr.  Joseph  P.  Ross  presided.  Dr.  Ross  ap- 
pointed a  committee  consisting  of  Doctors  Mills  O.  Heydock,  Edward  L. 
Holmes,  Gerhard  C.  Paoli,  Nathan  S.  Davis  and  Curtis  Fenn  to  consider 
the  wisdom  of  signing  a  petition  requesting  that  Dr.  Mudd,  who  was  then 
imprisoned  for  caring  for  the  wounds  of  President  Lincoln's  assassin,  should 
be  released.  The  members  of  the  society  were  of  various  opinions  in  regard 
to  the  ethical  position  of  the  unfortunate  doctor. 

Came  the  great  fire  of  1871  and  it  was  through  the  care  of  Dr.  William 
E.  Quine,  then  secretary  of  the  society,  that  the  records  of  the  Chicago 
Medical  Society  from  1850  to  June  12,  1871,  were  preserved.  Of  this 
period  of  desolation  Dr.  Davis  wrote,  "In  the  confusion  and  horror  of  the 
great  fire  in  October,  1871,  there  was  only  a  short  interruption.  I  invited  the 
members  of  the  society  to  meet  at  my  residence  on  Wabash  Avenue  and 
from  there  thev  moved  to  a  court  room  which  remained  intact  in  the  par- 


354  HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO 

tially  burned  court  house  on  the  public  square  until  the  work  of  rebuilding 
had  so  far  progressed  as  to  furnish  more  convenient  places." 

However,  it  was  not  until  1876  that  the  society  seemed  completely  to 
readjust  itself  and  enter  into  a  period  of  renewed  activity.  On  March  22, 
1880,  the  committee  on  The  Abuse  of  Medical  Charities  expressed  the  belief 
that  a  "somewhat  extensive  ring  controls  the  administration  of  medical 
charity  and  that  within  the  ring  a  few  older  professors  dominate  over  all 
the  rest.  Nor  is  this  the  case  only  in  regular  circles.  It  holds  just  as  true 
among  the  'irregulars'."  Furthermore  the  committee  opined  that  a  physi- 
cian's prescriptions  ought  to  be  regarded  as  his  personal  property  and  that 
"druggists  and  apothecaries  all  over  the  city  pour  drugs  of  which  they  know 
little  into  bodies  of  which  they  know  less." 

Continuing,  the  committee  asserted :  "Doubtless  the  clerical  profession  is 
an  eminently  respectable  one,  but  we  claim  the  same  of  our  own  profession. 
The  clergymen  who  are  ambitious  for  city  congregations  and  splendid 
churches  with  proportional  salaries  ought  to  be  ashamed  even  to  think  of 
accepting  gratuitous  service  from  a  physician.  Your  committee  is  most 
heartily  in  favor  of  the  maxim  'Pay  as  you  go'  for  the  luxuries  as  well  as 
the  necessities  of  life." 

Early  in  1881  the  members  protested  against  the  laxity  of  requirements 
for  admission  of  students  to  medical  colleges.  They  were  interested  in 
having  a  law  enacted  to  regulate  the  qualifications  of  physicians  practicing 
in  Illinois. 

According  to  Secretary  Liston  H.  Montgomery,  on  April  5,  1886,  the 
society  had  "the  largest  attendance  in  our  history;  not  less  than  123  mem- 
bers and  eight  visitors  attended." 

January  17,  1887,  Dr.  J.  J.  M.  Angear  announced  that  inasmuch  as  word 
had  been  sent  by  Dr.  William  E.  Quine  that  the  fiftieth  anniversary  of  Dr. 
N.  S.  Davis'  graduation  in  medicine  was  at  hand  he  moved  that  "the  presi- 
dent of  the  society  appoint  a  committee  of  three  to  draft  suitable  resolutions 
of  esteem  and  regard  pertaining  to  his  labors  and  character."  On  February 
7,  while  Dr.  Davis  was  still  in  the  vigor  of  health  and  could  appreciate  it, 
Dr.  Quine,  in  the  name  of  the  Chicago  Medical  Society,  presented  him  with 
the  committee's  declaration. 

Dr.  Frank  Billings  succeeded  Dr.  Liston  H.  Montgomery  as  secretary  on 
April  4,  1887.  Dr.  Montgomery  had  served  seven  years.  Dr.  Billings  re- 
signed November  5,  1888.  His  successor  was  Dr.  Junius  C.  Hoag,  who 
served  eight  years. 

The  year  1897  saw  the  incorporation  of  the  society,  which  had  existed  as  a 
voluntary  association.  From  this  time  the  officers  elected  included  a  presi- 
dent, a  secretary  and  five  trustees.  As  now  constituted,  the  board  of  trustees 
is  composed  of  the  president,  the  secretary  and  three  members,  who  are 
elected  by  the  council. 

At  the  meeting  of  June  19,  1901,  Dr.  Frank  X.  Walls  was  elected  secre- 
tary and  held  the  office  until  1906.  "During  this  period,"  whites  Dr.  Gill- 
more,  "the  society  enjoyed  unprecedented  prosperity.  One  hundred  mem- 
bers were  present  at  the  first  fall  meeting." 

The  society  continued  under  its  original  constitution  until  February,  1903, 
when  a  new  constitution  was  adopted  and  the  society  was  divided  up  into 
districts,  or  "branches."  With  the  establishment  of  the  branches,  the 


HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO  355 

membership  was  increased  enormously.  The  list  of  about  500  members 
was  more  than  doubled  within  a  year. 

Originally  there  were  eleven  branches,  but  in  later  years  four  branches 
have  been  added.  The  branches  elect  their  own  branch  officers  and  hold 
scientific  meetings  monthly,  except  during  July,  August  and  September. 
Representatives  from  the  branches  form  the  council,  the  governing  body 
of  the  society,  by  which  the  routine  business  is  conducted. 

The  council  meets  each  month,  except  during  July,  August  and  Septem- 
ber. It  is  composed  of  fifty-four  councilors  who  are  elected  by  the  branches, 
each  branch  being  entitled  to  one  councilor  for  the  first  fifty  members  and 
an  additional  one  for  each  additional  hundred  members.  In  addition  to  the 
councilors  elected  by  the  branches,  there  are  five  councilors-at-large  elected 
each  year  to  serve  a  term  of  three  years,  and  the  retiring  president  each 
year  becomes  a  councilor  to  serve  a  term  of  three  years.  The  council  is 
presided  over  by  the  president-elect. 

Following  the  establishment  of  the  branches,  there  came  into  being  several 
important  committees  having  to  do  with  the  relations  between  physicians 
and  the  relations  of  physicians  to  the  public.  The  members  of  these  com- 
mittees are  elected  by  the  council. 

One  of  the  most  important  of  these  committees  is  the  public  relations 
committee,  which  is  composed  of  three  members  and  the  president  and 
secretary  of  the  society  ex-officio.  This  committee  has  been  charged  with 
the  responsibility  of  keeping  off  the  statute  books  all  vicious  medical  legis- 
lation. During  the  last  twenty  years  much  of  this  kind  of  legislation  has 
been  attempted,  but  the  committee  has  been  successful  in  preventing  its 
enactment. 

In  the  interval  between  the  committee's  creation  and  the  present,  many 
cults  and  isms  have  tried  to  gain  admission  to  the  practice  of  medicine  by 
"back-door"  methods ;  that  is,  they  have  sought  the  right  or  license  to  prac- 
tice medicine  in  all  of  its  branches  without  qualifying  in  the  same  way  that 
doctors  have  been  obliged  to  qualify.  The  public  relations  committee  has 
fought  consistently  for  one  standard  for  entrance  into  the  practice  of 
medicine. 

This  has  been  an  important  feature  of  the  work  of  the  committee,  but 
it  has  not  been  the  only  activity.  Its  duty  is  to  consider  all  matters  of 
public  policy  and  all  legislative  matters  pertaining  to  the  medical  profession. 

The  milk  commission  was  organized  by  the  council  in  February,  1909. 
Dr.  Alfred  C.  Cotton,  president  of  the  society  at  the  time,  did  much  to 
encourage  its  formation.  However,  it  is  to  Dr.  Charles  S.  Bacon  that  much 
of  the  credit  is  due,  for  it  was  the  result  of  his  untiring  efforts  to  bring 
together  the  various  interests  that  a  working  commission  was  formed. 

The  first  milk  commission  was  composed  of  Doctors  Isaac  A.  Abt,  presi- 
dent; Charles  S.  Bacon,  secretary;  J.  Warren  Van  Derslice,  treasurer;  Julia 
D.  Merrill,  Samuel  J.  Walker  and  Frank  S.  Churchill. 

"The  principal  object  of  the  commission,"  reads  the  by-laws  of  the  so- 
ciety, "shall  be  to  secure  a  supply  of  pure  and  clean  milk  that  can  be  relied 
on  for  the  feeding  of  infants  and  invalids,  and  for  this  purpose  the  com- 
mission shall  certify  to  milk  from  any  dairy  which  applies  for  certification 
when  the  milk  is  produced  in  accordance  with  the  conditions  imposed  and 
equals  the  required  standard.  Intimately  connected  with  this  object  is  the 


356  HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO 

dissemination  of  knowledge  concerning  the  hygienic  importance  of  a  whole- 
some milk  supply. 

"To  promote  these  objects  the  commission  shall  cooperate  with  the  Ameri- 
can Association  of  Medical  Milk  Commissions,  and  shall  organize  and  make 
such  rules  for  its  guidance  as  may  be  necessary.  It  shall  provide  such 
stoppers,  seals  or  labels  as  may  be  required  to  indicate  and  protect  its  cer- 
tification. Besides  the  inspection  of  dairies  and  the  examination  of  the 
milk  produced,  it  shall  take  whatever  other  means  may  be  necessary  to 
promote  its  objects.  It  shall  not  contract  any  financial  obligations  without 
the  consent  of  the  trustees  of  the  society,  and  its  work  shall  be  self  sus- 
taining." 

The  commission  has  granted  certification  to  more  than  a  dozen  farms, 
situated  in  various  parts  of  the  dairy  districts  of  Illinois  and  Wisconsin. 
There  are  more  than  3,000,000  quarts  of  milk  produced  annually  under  the 
commission. 

There  are  seven  members  of  the  commission,  including  the  president  of 
the  society  ex-officio,  and  six  members,  two  of  whom  are  elected  annually 
by  the  council  to  serve  three  years.  The  commission  is  now  composed  of 
Doctors  Robert  A.  Black,  president;  J.  Warren  Van  Derslice,  secretary;  R. 
Ralph  Ferguson,  treasurer;  Walter  S.  Haines,  Grace  H.  Campbell  and 
Clarence  W.  Leigh,  and  Hugh  N.  MacKechnie,  ex-officio. 

In  1919  Dr.  J.  V.  Fowler,  then  president  of  the  society,  appointed  members 
of  a  contract  practice  committee,  composed  of  one  representative  from  each 
of  fifteen  branches.  The  duty  of  this  committee,  now  consisting  of  five 
members  and  which  has  adopted  as  its  motto,  "Just  and  decent  fees  for 
efficient  service,"  is  to  obtain  for  members  of  the  society  who  seek  its 
services  reasonable  fees,  particularly  from  corporations,  for  whom  services 
in  accident  cases  have  been  rendered  by  physicians. 

Early  in  its  investigation  the  committee,  headed  by  Dr.  Thomas  P.  Foley, 
learned  of  the  practice  of  insurance  companies,  among  others,  of  authorizing 
physicians  to  treat  injured  workmen,  and  then  reducing  bills  from  twenty 
to  fifty  per  cent  when  they  were  presented.  Where  the  committee  has  found 
the  charge  of  the  physician  to  be  reasonable,  it  has  fought  his  battle,  even 
into  court  through  its  attorney,  and  in  practically  all  cases  it  has  won. 

As  a  result  of  the  committee's  activity,  the  practice  referred  to  has  been 
reduced  considerably.  The  weapons  of  the  committee  have  been  publicity 
through  the  Bulletin,  and  the  fact  that  the  individual  physician  in  his  fight 
has  been  backed  by  an  organization  of  nearly  four  thousand  members. 

Other  committees  and  their  duties  are  as  follows: 

Membership  committee — To  investigate  the  personal  and  professional 
standing  of  all  applicants  for  membership  and  report  on  them  to  the  council 
with  recommendations. 

Medico-legal  committee — To  represent  the  Chicago  Medical  Society  on 
the  medico-legal  committee  of  the  Illinois  State  Medical  Society,  which  de- 
fends members  when  sued  for  malpractice.  This  legal  defense  is  accorded 
to  every  member  in  good  standing,  and  the  expenses  are  covered  by  the 
regular  dues,  no  assessment  being  made. 

Ethical  relations  committee — To  take  cognizance  of  and  investigate  and 
make  recommendations  on  questions  affecting  the  ethical  relations  of  mem- 
bers to  each  other,  to  the  society,  to  the  profession  and  to  the  public.  The 


HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO  357 

committee  also  makes  investigations  of  any  charges  of  unethical  conduct 
preferred  against  any  member,  and  submits  its  conclusions  and  recom- 
mendations to  the  council. 

Grievance  committee — To  investigate  all  complaints  made  against  physi- 
cians, by  the  laity  as  well  as  the  profession.  It  also  works  in  conjunction 
with  state  investigators  in  an  effort  to  eliminate  the  "quacks." 

While  the  organization  work  of  the  society  has  been  developed  consider- 
ably in  recent  years,  the  scientific  work  has  not  been  neglected.  The  cen- 
tral society  holds  a  scientific  meeting  each  week,  excepting  during  July, 
August  and  September.  These  meetings  are  arranged  by  the  president  and 
secretary,  and  are  presided  over  by  the  president. 

A  bulletin  known  as  the  Official  Bulletin  of  the  Chicago  Medical  Society 
is  published  each  week.  This  contains  the  announcements  of  the  central 
society  and  the  branches,  as  well  as  those  of  the  affiliated  societies.  Each 
week  an  abstract  is  published  of  the  scientific  meeting  of  the  central  society, 
of  the  papers  read,  and  of  the  discussions.  Monthly  bulletins  are  also  pub- 
lished by  the  larger  branches,  giving  reports  of  their  scientific  meetings. 

In  1913  there  were  twenty  living  ex-presidents  of  the  Chicago  Medical 
Society.  At  the  suggestion  of  Dr.  Jacob  Frank,  president  in  that  year,  an 
ex-presidents'  banquet  was  held  on  February  12,  which  was  attended  by 
several  hundred  members,  including  all  of  the  living  ex-presidents. 

The  custom  of  presenting  to  the  retiring  president  of  the  society  a  token 
in  recognition  of  his  services  was  inaugurated  in  1916.  On  June  21  of  that 
year  a  testimonial  banquet  was  given  to  Dr.  Charles  J.  Whalen  by  the  society 
upon  his  retirement  from  the  presidency.  He  was  presented  with  a  gold 
watch  by  members  of  the  society.  The  custom  of  giving  a  testimonial  to  the 
retiring  president  is  still  in  vogue. 

Various  places  have  been  used  for  meeting  places  of  the  central  society. 
For  several  years  Memorial  Hall  in  the  Chicago  Public  Library  was  used, 
and  later  the  Assembly  Hall  in  the  Northwestern  University  Building  at  31 
West  Lake  Street.  Since  1915  meetings  have  been  held  on  the  sixth  floor 
of  the  Marshall  Field  Annex  at  25  East  Washington  Street,  on  the  fifteenth 
floor  of  which  the  society  has  its  office. 

In  1921  Dr.  Hugh  N.  MacKechnie,  who  had  served  three  years  as  secre- 
tary, was  made  president-elect  and  Dr.  John  R.  Harger,  secretary.  In  June, 
1922,  Dr.  MacKechnie  succeeded  Dr.  John  S.  Nagel  as  president  and  in  the 
election  of  that  month  Dr.  Archibald  Church  was  made  president-elect  and 
Dr.  R.  Ralph  F'erguson,  secretary. 

At  the  present  time  the  membership  of  the  society  in  Chicago  and  Cook 
County  comprises  3,879  active  members,  43  non-resident  members  and  50 
honorary  members,  a  total  of  3,972. 

Various  special  societies  have  become  affiliated  with  the  Chicago  Medical 
Society  and  by  vote  of  the  council  are  recognized  as  sections  of  the  society. 
These  include  the  Chicago  Pathological  Society,  Chicago  Ophthalmological 
Society,  Chicago  Pediatric  Society,  Chicago  Neurological  Society,  Chicago 
Laryngological  and  Otological  Society,  Chicago  Surgical  Society,  Chicago 
Dematological  Society,  Chicago  Urological  Society  and  Chicago  Society  of 
Industrial  Medicine  and  Surgery.  Their  histories  are  given  elsewhere  in 
this  section. 


358  HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO 

GERMAN  MEDICAL  SOCIETY  OF  CHICAGO 

Among  the  educated  Germans  who  came  to  this  country  after  the  revolu- 
tion of  1848  there  were  a  number  of  physicians.  Many 'of  them  served  with 
distinction  under  the  Stars  and  Stripes  during  the  Civil  War.  An  organiza- 
tion of  these  physicians  in  Chicago  into  a  medical  society  became  possible 
only  after  the  different  small  and  large  German  states  became  united  in  1871. 

In  1875  we  find  a  German-speaking  medical  society,  consisting  of  South 
and  North  Germans,  Swiss  and  Austrian  physicians  and  surgeons  holding 
regular  meetings.  Members  were  Doctors  Ernst  Schmidt,  Henry  Banga, 
Christian  Fenger,  Gustav  Hessert,  Henry  Cradle  and  Philip  Adolphus.  This 
society  went  to  pieces  in  1879.  During  that  year  Dr.  Banga  spoke  on  anti- 
septic treatment  of  wounds,  on  which  he  was  an  authority,  having  had  an  im- 
portant part  in  its  development.  An  older  colleague  called  the  results  that 
Dr.  Banga  described,  "impossible  and  lies."  This  made  further  meetings  im- 
possible. 

Nearly  twenty  years  later  (in  1897)  a  new  society  was  organized.  Doc- 
tors Carl  Beck,  Gustav  Schirmer,  Emil  Ries,  F.  C.  Harnisch  and  Jacques 
Holinger  were  among  the  first  members.  Real  active  progress  was  made 
in  1898,  when  Dr.  Edwin  Klebs  came  to  Chicago.  Dr.  Klebs  accepted  the 
presidency  for  one  year.  Regular  monthly  meetings  were  held  and  patients 
and  specimens  were  demonstrated.  Dr.  Klebs  remained,  though  not  as 
president,  for  several  years  as  the  center  of  activity. 

Following  Dr.  Klebs,  Dr.  Carl  Doepfner  was  president  for  many  succes- 
sive years.  He  introduced  the  election  of  officers  by  scrutiny,  following  the 
Swiss  method,  with  no  nominations.  Each  member  wrote  the  name  of  his 
candidate  on  a  piece  of  paper.  If  none  had  a  majority,  only  the  two  highest 
were  considered  on  a  second  vote. 

A  number  of  professors  from  German,  Austrian  and  Danish  universities 
have  visited  the  society  and  have  given  interesting  lectures.  Interesting 
papers  have  also  been  read  by  many  of  the  members.  The  discussions  were 
often  warm,  but  never  personal,  the  members  remembering  the  incident 
which  caused  the  downfall  of  the  first  society.  The  membership  grew,  and 
was  for  a  long  time  as  high  as  120,  as  many  American  colleagues  sought 
membership.  The  war  had  a  bad  influence,  but  the  regular  scientific  meet- 
ings were  interrupted  for  only  two  years. 

CHICAGO  PATHOLOGICAL  SOCIETY 

The  West  Chicago  Medical  Society  was  organized  about  April  10,  1878. 
In  1881,  at  the  suggestion  of  Dr.  Henry  M.  Lyman,  then  president,  the  name 
was  changed  to  the  Chicago  Pathological  Society. 

During  the  first  five  years  meetings  were  held  at  the  residence  of  Dr.  Ly- 
man. From  1883  to  1889  the  society  met  at  various  public  buildings  and  at 
the  homes  of  the  members.  The  offices  of  Dr.  Cassius  D.  Wescott,  Madison 

Street  and  Ogden  Avenue,  was  the  place  of  meeting  from   1888  to   1891. 

From    1891    to    1894   accommodations    were    found    at    Hammond    Library. 

From  1894  to  1898  the  society  met  in  the  laboratory  building  of  Rush  Medi- 
cal College.  In  1899  the  society  became  affiliated  with  the  Chicago  Medical 
Society  and  moved  down  town.  From  1905  to  1921  meetings  were  held  in 
Assembly  Hall  of  the  Northwestern  University  Building.  In  1921  the  meet- 
ing place  was  changed  to  the  John  Crerar  Library.

The  society  began  publication  of  its  transactions  in  1896,  and  has  printed 
twelve  volumes. 

It  is  not  too  much  to  say  that  the  Chicago  Pathological  Society  has  been 
one  of  the  large  factors  in  advancing  scientific  medicine  in  Chicago.

CHICAGO     GYNECOLOGICAL     SOCIETY 

The  Chicago  Gynecological  Society  was  organized  in  1878  and  incorporated 
under  the  laws  of  the  state  in  1880. 

"The  first  meeting  was  held  at  the  residence  of  Dr.  William  H.  Byford 
and  for  a  year  or  more  the  custom  was  followed  of  meeting  at  the  houses 
of  the  members  and  electing  a  presiding  officer  at  each  session. 

"Much  of  the  efficiency  of  the  earlier  work  of  the  society  was  due  to  the 
founders,  Doctors  William  H.  Byford,  DeLaskie  Miller,  A.  Reeves  Jackson, 
James  H.  Etheridge,  H.  Webster  Jones,  and  the  original  members,  Doctors 
Charles  Warrington  Earle,  Henry  T.  Byford,  Daniel  T.  Nelson,  Henry  P. 
Merriman,  E.  C.  Dudley  and  E.  W.  Sawyer." 

Quotation  from  Vol.  1  (1892-1893)  of  the  Transactions  of  the  Chicago 
Gynecological  Society. 

Five  of  these  men  were  at  the  time  or  subsequently  members  of  the  Ameri- 
can Gynecological  Society.  All  of  the  five  founders  are  dead,  but  three  of  the 
six  original  members  are  living.  The  so-called  original  members  were  invited 
by  the  founders  to  join  them  in  the  organization  of  the  society.  A  list  of  the 
presidents  may  be  taken  to  show  the  character  of  the  men  who  have  made 
the  society  a  success.

'Deceased. 

Of  these  forty  presidents  half  are,  or  have  been,  members  of  the  American 
Gynecological  Society.  The  local  organization  came  into  existence  only  two 
years  after  the  foundation  of  the  American  Gynecological  Society.  Its  organi- 
zation and  aims  and  its  principles  of  ethics  are  similar.  Candidates  for  admis- 
sion must  have  been  engaged  in  the  scientific  or  practical  development  of 
gynecology  or  obstetrics  for  five  years.  The  active  membership  is  limited  to 
fifty  residents  of  Cook  County  and  ten  non-residents. 

From  the  beginning  the  society  took  its  place  in  the  front  rank  of  similar 
societies  and  has  been  representative  of  gynecology  and  obstetrics  of  the 
west.  It  has  an  active  membership  of  forty,  twelve  of  whom  are  at  present 
members  of  the  American  Gynecological  Society. 

CHICAGO  OPHTHALMOLOGICAL  SOCIETY 

More  than  forty  years  ago  ophthalmologists  and  otologists  of  Chicago 
foregathered  informally  to  read  papers,  discuss  topics  of  mutual  interest 
and  report  their  experiences  abroad  and  the  results  of  their  studies  in  foreign 
clinics.  Sometimes  they  met  in  each  other's  offices  and  on  rare  occasions 
in  the  old  Tremont  House. 

Among  them  were  Doctors  E.  L.  Holmes,  A.  P.  Gilmore,  F.  C.  Hotz, 
Samuel  J.  Jones,  Henry  Gradle,  J.  E.  Colburn,  Edwin  J.  Gardiner,  Lyman 
Ware  and  W.  T.  Montgomery. 

This  group  became  known  as  the  Chicago  Ophthalmological  Society.  Its 
meetings  were  held  four  or  five  times  a  year  for  about  three  years.  Then 
they  were  discontinued  for  a  time,  but  after  the  interim,  Dr.  Boerne  Bettman 
and  several  associates  resuscitated  the  organization  under  the  name  of  the 
Chicago  Ophthalmological  and  Otological  Society.  Dr.  Bettman  was  the 
secretary  during  the  life  of  the  society,  Doctors  Holmes,  Gilmore,  Hotz  and 
Montgomery  were  among  those  who  acted  as  chairmen. 

Followed  then  a  hiatus  from  1889  to  1892,  when  there  were  no  gatherings. 
But  in  1893,  through  the  efforts  of  Dr.  C.  P.  Pinckard,  the  meetings  were 


HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO  361 

resumed  under  the  aegis  of  the  Chicago  Ophthalmological  and  Otological 
Society.  Dr.  E.  L.  Holmes  was  honored  with  the  presidency  and  Dr. 
Pinckard  was  elected  secretary.  In  this  office  the  latter  continued  until 
1902.  The  charter  members  were  Doctors  George  F.  Fiske,  Samuel  J.  Jones, 
C.  P.  Pinckard,  F.  C.  Hotz,  Henry  Cradle,  Casey  A.  Wood,  Boerne  Bettman, 
W.  T.  Montgomery,  Edwin  J.  Gardiner,  Charles  H.  Beard,  W.  Franklin 
Coleman,  J.  E.  Colburn,  H.  M.  Starkey,  Lyman  Ware,  William  A.  Fisher, 
F.  D.  Stannard  and  Robert  Tilley. 

The  society  having  grown  so  rapidly,  by  1903  it  was  decided  to  confine 
its  activities  to  a  study  of  the  various  relations  of  the  visual  apparatus  and 
to  the  encouragement  of  a  rational  practice  of  ophthalmology.  It  was 
in  this  way  that  the  present  Chicago  Ophthalmological  Society  was  evolved, 
with  its  129  active  memers  and  five  honorary  members. 

The  following  is  a  list  of  presidents  of  the  society  since  its  revival  in  1893 :

The  Scandinavian  Medical  Society  was  organized  in  October,  1887,  by 
ten  physicians  and  surgeons  of  Scandinavian  birth  or  descent.  They  were 
Doctors  S.  D.  Jacobsen,  G.  C.  Paoli,  Sven  Windrow,  B.  M.  Behrens,  A. 
Wimmermark,  William  Johnson,  A.  Doe,  Frederick  A.  Hess,  N.  Remmen 
and  Boltazar  Meyer.  Dr.  Jacobsen  was  the  first  president  and  was  re- 
elected  in  1888.  Subsequently  the  name  of  the  organization  was  changed 
to  its  present  form. 

The  object  of  the  organizers  was  "to  promote  friendly  feeling,  to  en- 
courage professional  zeal  and  the  interchange  of  professional  experience 
among  its  members."  Monthly  meetings  have  been  held  since  the  beginning, 
except  during  July  and  August. 

The  outstanding  feature  of  the  early  years  of  the  society  was  the  extended 
and  instructive  discussions  on  various  topics  of  surgery  by  Dr.  Christian 
Fenger,  who  was  a  member  of  the  society  almost  from  the  beginning  until 
his  death.  The  society  took  the  initial  action  that  eventually  led  to  the 
creation  by  subscriptions  of  the  Fenger  Memorial  Fund,  the  income  from 
which  has  been  devoted  to  the  publication  of  the  collected  works  of  Dr. 
Fenger  and  to  the  furtherance  of  medical  investigations.

From  time  to  time  physicians  who  were  not  members  of  the  society  have 
taicen  part  in  its  scientific  meetings. 

In  1890  the  society  first  sought  to  have  fraudulent  medical  advertisements 
excluded  from  Scandinavian  newspapers  in  Chicago.  It  was  finally  suc- 
cessful in  these  efforts  in  1907. 

PHYSICIANS'     CLUB     OF     CHICAGO 

Two  organizations — the  Practitioners'  Club,  composed  chiefly  of  west  side 
physicians,  and  the  Doctors'  Club,  whose  membership  was  limited  to  medical 
men  residing  on  the  south  side — were  merged  in  1905  to  form  the  Physicians' 
Club  of  Chicago. 

The  Practitioners'  Club  was  organized  in  the  summer  of  1891.  The  by- 
laws stated:  "Primarily  the  object  of  the  club  shall  be  to  foster  that  spirit  of 
a  purely  friendly  intercourse  which  should  prevail  among  those  having  a 
like  aim  in  life ;  and  secondarily,  and  incidentally,  it  is  designed  that  there 
shall  be  a  mutual  interchange  of  current  professional  thought,  and  an  en- 
largement and  broader  appreciation  of  those  elements  which  go  to  make  up 
the  well-rounded  medical  man." 

The  only  permanent  officers  were  a  secretary  and  an  executive  commit- 
tee, which  appointed  a  different  chairman  for  each  meeting.  Dr.  George 
Henry  Cleveland  served  as  secretary  for  four  years,  and  was  succeeded  by 
Dr.  Cassius  D.  Westcott,  who  continued  to  act  as  secretary  until  the  organi- 
zation ceased. 

The  first  meeting  was  held  August  31,  1891,  with  Dr.  Charles  Warring- 
ton  Earle  as  chairman.  Meetings  were  held  monthly,  a  topic  of  general  in- 
terest being  discussed.  Many  of  the  most  prominent  men  in  the  profession 
presided  at  the  meetings  and  a  wide  range  of  subjects  bearing  on  medical 
education  and  the  various  relations  of  the  medical  profession  to  public  pol- 
icies were  discussed.  During  the  World's  Fair  in  1893,  the  club  entertained 
many  prominent  medical  men  from  abroad. 

The  Doctors'  Club  was  organized  at  about  the  same  time  as  the  Practi- 
tioners' Club  and  its  object  was  similar.  Among  its  organizers  and  early 
members  were  Doctors  Edmund  Andrews,  Marcus  P.  Hatfield,  Boerne  Bett- 
man,  Chauncey  W.  Courtright  and  Joseph  Zeisler,  all  of  whom  are  dead,  and 
John  E.  Owens,  Thomas  L.  Gilmer,  John  Leeming,  William  M.  Harsha, 
Harold  N.  Moyer,  D.  A.  K.  Steele,  William  E.  Quine,  George  W.  Webster, 
William  T.  Belfield,  Henry  T.  Byford,  G.  Frank  Lydston  and  Henry  F. 
Lewis,  who  was  the  first  secretary. 

It  was  felt  by  many  members  of  the  two  organizations  that  a  combination 
of  forces  would  be  more  useful  and  more  productive  of  good  than  to  have 
both  operating  singly.  Consequently  they  were  united  to  form  the  Physi- 
cians' Club  of  Chicago,  the  first  meeting  of  which  was  held  November  25, 
1895.  It  was  attended  by  sixty-five  members  of  the  two  merged  clubs. 

The  purpose  of  the  Physicians'  Club  is  virtually  that  of  the  two  organiza- 
tions which  it  succeeded.  Among  those  of  the  past  and  present  who  have 
been  active  in  the  club  were  Doctors  Nicholas  Senn,  Fernand  Henrotin, 
both  of  whom  are  dead,  and  Cassius  D.  Wescott,  Henry  T.  Byford,  Edmund 
J.  Doering,  Truman  W.  Brophy,  Arthur  M.  Corwin  and  Victor  D.  Lespin- 
asse.  There  are  about  200  members  at  present.

CHICAGO     PEDIATRIC     SOCIETY 

The  Chicago  Pediatric  Society  had  its  beginning  in  a  number  of  informal 
meetings  held  during  1895  and  1896  at  the  home  of  Dr.  John  C.  Cook.  He 
invited  a  few  of  his  doctor  friends  who  were  especially  interested  in  diseases 
of  children  to  meet  with  him  at  irregular  intervals  and  discuss  cases  and 
papers. 

In  October,  1897,  a  formal  and  permanent  organization  was  formed  and 
Dr.  John  C.  Cook  was  elected  first  president  and  Dr.  J.  W.  Matheson,  secre- 
tary. Dr.  Cook  served  as  president  during  the  years  1897-98-99  and  was  the 
moving  spirit  and  stimulating  worker  in  the  earlier  years  and  much  credit  is 
due  him  for  the  continuation  of  the  society  at  that  time.  He  was  recognized 
as  the  founder  of  the  society  by  a  formal  action  of  the  organization  after  his 
death.  Another  faithful  member  who  gave  much  time  to  the  society  was  Dr. 
Emma  M.  Moore,  who  served  as  secretary  from  1900  to  1910. 

The  following  physicians  have  served  as  president : 

Alfred  C.  Cotton 1899-1900     Frank  X.  Walls 1912-1913 

Walter  S.  Christopher 1901  Ernest  Lackner 1914-1915 

Marcus  P.  Hatfield 1902-1903      Frank  S.  Churchill 1916-1917 

Samuel  J.  Walker 1904-1905     Joseph  Brennemann 1918 

J.  W.  Van  Derslice 1906-1907     Julius  H.  Hess 1919-1920 

Isaac  A.  Abt 1908-1909      Clifford  G.  Grulee 1921-1922 

John  M.  Dodson 1910-1911 

The  society  now  has  a  membership  of  about  fifty.  Among  its  activities 
have  been  the  promotion  of  a  registry  for  wet  nurses,  a  study  of  the  problem 
of  clean  milk  and  helping  to  establish  the  Chicago  Milk  Commission. 

It  was  also  due  to  the  influence  of  its  members  that  the  Central  States 
Pediatric  Society  was  formed.  The  society  has  always  been  a  stimulus  to 
good  work  and  fellowship  among  the  pediatrists  of  the  city. 

CHICAGO     NEUROLOGICAL     SOCIETY 

The  Chicago  Neurological  Society  was  organized  in  1898,  with  the  object 
of  promoting  the  study  of  neurology  in  all  its  branches.  The  first  president 
was  Dr.  Sanger  Brown.  Prominent  in  the  organization  of  the  society  were 
Doctors  Sanger  Brown,  Harold  N.  Moyer,  Hugh  T.  Patrick,  C.  H.  Lodor  and 
Henry  M.  Lyman.  The  members  during  the  first  year  numbered  twenty, 
including  in  addition  to  the  above,  Doctors  P.  L.  Holland,  Oscar  A.  King, 
M.  L.  Goodkind,  Sidney  Kuh,  Archibald  Church,  E.  Wing,  Otto  L.  Schmidt, 
Richard  Dewey,  Daniel  R.  Brower,  J.  J.  M.  Angear,  Henry  M.  Bannister, 
Nathan  S.  Davis,  Jr.  and  J.  G.  Kiernan  and  Professors  H.  H.  Donaldson  and 
Jacques  Loeb. 

Since  its  organization  the  society  has  developed  both  in  increased  member- 
ship and  in  its  influence  relative  to  the  teaching  of  neurology  and  the  develop- 
ment of  the  proper  recognition  and  treatment' of  mental  diseases. 

The  membership  is  open  to  any  regular  physician  or  scientist  in  good 
standing  who  is  interested  in  the  study  of  neurology.  The  scientific  fitness 
for  membership  may  be  established  either  by  thesis  on  some  neurological 
subject  or  by  other  written  evidence  of  the  candidate's  attainments. 

The  present  officers  of  the  society  are  Dr.  Charles  F.  Read,  president,  and 
Dr.  Lewis  J.  Pollock,  secretary.

CHICAGO     LARYNGOLOGICAL    AND 
OTOLOGICAL    SOCIETY 

The-  Chicago  Laryngological  and  jOtological  Society  was  founded  in 
January,  1899. 

Twenty-four  of  the  leading  oto-laryngologists  were  invited  by  Dr.  E. 
Fletcher  Ingals  to  meet  at  his  office  to  form  a  society  composed  of  specialists. 
They  adopted  the  name  of  the  Chicago  Laryngological  and  Climatological 
Society,  the  object  being  the  advancement  of  the  subjects  of  diseases  of 
the  throat,  nose,  ear  and  respiratory  tract. 

The  charter  members  were  the  following: 


E.  Fletcher  Ingals 
Norval  H.  Pierce

Conferences  were  held  several  times  a  year  in  the  beginning,  but  were 
increased  to  monthly  meetings  in  the  rooms  of  the  Chicago  Medical  Society, 
with  which  the  organization  became  affiliated  in  1901. 

The  name  of  the  organization  was  changed  in  1905  to  the  Chicago 
Laryngological  and  Otological  Society.  In  1908  the  following  requirements 
were  imposed  for  admission  to  membership : 

1.  Applicants  for  admission  shall  have  been  graduates  of  medicine  for  at 
least  five  years. 

2.  Applicants  shall  furnish  evidence  of  their  ability  to  take  part  in  the 
scientific  work  of  the  society  by  having  completed  at  least  one  creditable 
piece  of  scientific  work  in  the  specialty  of  the  society.     This  may  be  in  the 
form  of  an  unpublished  thesis,  or  may  be  an  article  already  published.

CHICAGO     SURGICAL     SOCIETY 

The  Chicago  Surgical  Society  was  founded  in  1900,  with  the  following 
membership: 

Walter  H.  Allport  Christian  Fenger  John  B.  Murphy 

E.  Wyllis  Andrews  Alexander  H.  Ferguson          Albert  J.  Ochsner 

Carl  Beck  Jacob  Frank  Edward  H.  Ochsner 

Arthur  D.  Bevan  Albert  E.  Halstead  John  E.  Owens 

Albert  Bouffleur  M.  L.  Harris  Samuel  C.  Plummer 

Frederic  Coolidge  Edward  W.  Lee  Nicholas  Senn 

Thomas  A.  Davis  Lewis  L.  McArthur  D.  A.  K.  Steele 

Daniel  N.  Eisendrath  Ernest  Mellish  Weller  Van  Hook 

William  E.  Morgan 

Dr.  Eisendrath  was  one  of  the  most  active  in  bringing  about  the  inception 
of  the  society.  From  the  very  first  its  meetings  were  recognized  throughout 
the  country  as  being  of  the  very  highest  scientific  order. 

The  society  was  organized  for  the  cultivation  and  improvement  of  the 
science  and  art  of  surgery  and  the  elevation  of  the  medical  profession.  The 
membership  from  the  first  has  been  limited  to  100;  and  while  its  quota  has 
never  been  filled,  it  is  because  the  aim  of  the  society  has  been  to  admit  only 
those  who  measure  up  to  the  requirements  for  membership.  There  are, 
however,  senior  and  honorary  fellows. 

From  the  very  beginning  the  society  has  held  seven  scientific  meetings 
during  the  year.  It  has  been  the  custom  of  the  society  to  invite  distinguished 
surgeons  from  other  cities  to  read  papers  at  the  scientific  meetings  in  order 
that  the  fellows  might  have  the  benefit  of  exchanging  views  and  experiences 
with  the  leaders  of  surgery  elsewhere.  This  policy  has  not  been  carried 
on  to  the  extent  of  discouraging  its  own  members  in  the  prosecution  of 
research  work  or  reading  papers  before  the  society. 

Within  the  last  few  years  the  scientific  evening  programs  have  been  sup- 
plemented by  clinical  meetings  at  the  various  hospitals  throughout  the  day, 
preceding  the  evening  meeting.  It  has  been  possible  to  have  each  of  the 
large  hospitals  hold  a  clinical  program  at  least  once  during  the  year. 

The  requirements  for  fellowship  are  as  follows:  the  candidate  must  be 
not  less  than  thirty  years  of  age  and  a  graduate  of  at  least  five  years  from  a 
recognized  medical  college.  He  must  also  have  established  a  reputation  as  a 
practitioner  or  as  a  teacher  of  surgery  and  have  done  original  research  work. 

The  society  has  numbered  amongst  its  members  men  of  world-wide  repu- 
tation. The  names  of  Christian  Fenger,  Nicholas  Senn  and  John  B.  Murphy 
are  known  wherever  surgery  is  practiced.  These  men  added  greatly  to  the 
development  and  teaching  of  modern  surgery. 

The  present  president  is  Dr.  Dean  D.  Lewis,  and  the  secretary,  Dr. 
Frederick  G.  Dyas. 

CHICAGO     DERMATOLOGICAL    SOCIETY 

The  organization  of  the  Chicago  Dermatological  Society  was  the  result 
of  a  movement  which  had  been  developing  for  several  years  among  the 
active  younger  dermatologists  of  the  city.  The  actual  organization  of  the 
society  dates  from  a  meeting  held  at  the  University  Club  on  the  evening 
of  February  14,  1901.  On  this  occasion  there  were  present  Dr.  James 
Nevins  Hyde,  who  gave  the  dinner,  and  Doctors  Joseph  Zeisler,  W.  A. 
Pusey,  H.  G.  Anthony,  L.  C.  Pardee,  W.  L.  Baum,  L.  B.  Baldwin,  and  F. 
H.  Montgomery.  Among  others  who  were  added  to  the  list  of  charter 


366  HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO 

members  were  Doctors  Louis  E.  Schmidt,  Howard  T.  Ricketts,  Davis  Lieb- 
erthal, and  Oliver  S.  Ormsby.  The  first  president  of  the  society  was 
Dr.  Hyde. 

The  society  was  organized  as  a  clinical  society  which  should  meet  monthly 
from  September  to  May  inclusive,  and  whose  purpose  should  be  the  exhibi- 
tion and  discussion  of  cases.  The  first  clinical  meeting  was  held  in  Dr. 
Hyde's  office  on  the  afternoon  of  March  14,  1901,  and  meetings  were  held 
regularly  for  the  remainder  of  the  year.  The  society  has  stuck  faithfully 
to  its  original  purpose;  monthly  meetings  have  been  held  almost  without 
a  single  failure  for  nine  months  of  each  of  the  twenty-one  years  since  its 
organization.  At  these  meetings  cases  are  presented,  and,  after  they  have 
been  examined,  general  informal  discussion  of  them  takes  place.  The  society 
has  always  been  confined  to  active  dermatologists,  and  so  its  meetings  have 
been  small.  They  began  with  meetings  held  in  Dr.  Hyde's  or  in  Dr. 
Pusey's  office ;  after  Dr.  Hyde's  death  Dr.  Ormsby's  office  took  the  place 
of  Dr.  Hyde's.  And  except  for  one  or  two  years,  when  meetings  were 
attempted  in  a  rented  room  in  an  office  building  downtown,  the  meetings 
have  always  been  held  in  private  offices.  This  has  made  the  meetings 
intimate  and  informal,  and  has  added  very  distinctly  to  their  usefulness 
to  the  participants  in  them. 

The  membership  of  the  society  has  changed  somewhat  with  the  changes 
among  the  dermatologists  of  Chicago.  Of  the  original  members  Doctors 
Hyde,  Zeisler,  Anthony,  Montgomery,  and  Ricketts  have  died ;  two  or  three 
other  members  have  left  the  city ;  but  the  personnel,  particularly  the  per- 
sonnel of  active  workers,  except  for  death,  has  been  little  changed  through- 
out the  years  of  the  existence  of  the  society.  The  amount  of  clinical  ma- 
terial shown  at  the  meetings  has  been  from  the  start  surprisingly  large. 
There  are  few  dermatoses  which  have  not  been  shown  at  the  society  meet- 
ings, and  the  value  of  the  diffusion  of  clinical  knowledge  among  its  members 
which  this  rich  exhibition  of  material  has  produced  is  hard  to  overestimate. 

The  society  has  served  many  useful  purposes :  The  active  contact  between 
the  members  which  the  meetings  give  has  made  them  better  known  to  one 
another ;  the  exhibitions  of  cases  and  the  discussions  have  stimulated  greatly 
interest  in  dermatology.  Indeed,  it  can  probably  be  said  these  influences 
of  this  society  have  done  as  much  as  anything  to  develop  dermatology  in 
Chicago.  The  value  of  the  society  is  shown  by  the  way  its  associate  mem- 
bership has  spread  almost  over  the  entire  Mississippi  Valley ;  for  the  out 
of  town  members  are  found  in  nearly  every  city  in  the  Mississippi  Valley 
where  dermatology  has  gained  a  foothold.  It  has  also  been  shown  by  the 
way  in  which  other  societies,  following  its  plan  of  organization,  have  been 
developed  in  other  states  of  the  Middle  West.  When  the  Chicago  Derma- 
tological  Society  was  organized  there  was  no  other  dermatological  society 
in  the  Mississippi  Valley.  Now  there  are  similar  societies  in  Minneapolis 
and  St.  Paul,  in  Pittsburgh,  in  Detroit,  and  in  St.  Louis. 

For  many  years  the  society  has  had  one  formal  meeting  a  year  on  the 
occasion  of  its  annual  meeting.  This  consists  of  a  clinical  meeting  in  the 
afternoon,  usually  held  at  the  Presbyterian  Hospital,  followed  by  a  dinner 
at  which  the  retiring  president  reads  his  annual  address,  the  one  formal 
paper  for  which  the  society's  plans  provide.  At  this  annual  meeting  there 
are  usually  twenty-five  to  thirty-five  dermatologists  from  other  cities  in 


HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO  367 

attendance,  and  this  meeting  has  become  an  event  in  dermatology  in  the 
Middle  West. 

CHICAGO  URO LOGICAL  SOCIETY 

On  April  23,  1903  a  meeting  was  held  by  thirteen  men  interested  in  genito- 
urinary work  in  response  to  a  letter  suggesting  the  formation  of  a  society. 
It  was  decided  to  organize  such  a  society  and  on  May  20  following  the  or- 
ganization was  effected  with  Dr.  William  T.  Belfield  as  president,  Dr.  Louis 
E.  Schmidt  as  vice-president  and  Dr.  R.  R.  Campbell  as  secretary  and  treas- 
urer. On  the  same  date  the  society,  to  which  was  given  the  name  of  the  Chi- 
cago Urological  Society,  was  notified  that  its  application  for  affiliation  with 
the  Chicago  Medical  Society  had  been  accepted. 

The  charter  members  of  the  society  were  Doctors  William  T.  Belfield, 
Louis  E.  Schmidt,  R.  R.  Campbell,  William  L.  Baum,  J.  J.  Quirk,  David 
Lieberthal,  Robert  H.  Herbst,  Henry  G.  Anthony,  J.  Allen  Patton,  F.  A.  Leus- 
man,  Rufus  W.  Bishop,  Gustav  Kolischer  and  Frank  Hugh  Montgomery. 

The  object  of  the  society  is  to  promote  the  science  of  urology  and  to  en- 
courage good  fellowship  among  urologists.  Monthly  meetings  are  held,  ex- 
cept during  July,  August  and  September,  at  which  various  phases  of  genito- 
urinary work  are  discussed. 

Doctors  William  T.  Belfield  and  Louis  E.  Schmidt  have  been  honored  by 
election  to  the  presidency  of  the  American  Urological  Society. 

The  presidents  of  the  society,  with  the  year  of  their  election,  from  the  be- 
ginning have  been  the  following:

MEDICAL    WOMEN'S     CLUB     OF     CHICAGO 

In  the  fall  of  1903  Doctors  Anna  M.  Braunwarth  and  Eliza  R.  Morse  de- 
termined upon  an  organization  of  women  physicians  in  Chicago.  Enlisting 
the  aid  of  Doctors  Marie  White  and  Rose  Willard,  they  interested  about 
twenty-five  women  physicians  in  the  venture.  A  temporary  organization 
was  effected,  which  later  was  made  permanent  under  the  name  of  the  Chi- 
cago Medical  Women's  Club. 

The  first  officers  were  Doctors  Sarah  Hackett  Stevenson,  president;  Lucy 
Waite  and  Eliza  H.  Root,  vice-presidents ;  and  Mary  M.  S.  Johnstone,  sec- 
retary and  treasurer. 

The  thought  of  those  first  suggesting  the  club  was  that  it  might  offer 
better  opportunity  than  was  given  by  other  societies  for  interchange  of 
experiences,  presentation  and  discussion  of  papers  on  scientific  topics,  as 
well  as  the  promotion  of  good  fellowship.

With  an  increase  in  membership  in  later  years,  a  majority  of  the  mem- 
bers were  inclined  to  make  the  club  a  social  organization,  and  the  by-laws 
were  modified  to  meet  the  wishes  of  this  group.  Since  then  a  few  scientific 
papers  have  been  read,  but  the  activities  of  the  club  have  been  mostly  of  a 
social  character. 

In  1914  the  name  of  the  organization  was  changed  to  its  present  title, 
the  Medical  Women's  Club  of  Chicago.  When  it  was  learned  that  this  name 
was  borne  by  a  small  group  of  women  physicians  whose  organization  was 
not  then  active,  the  members  of  this  group  were  made  honorary  members 
of  the  larger,  active  organization  for  allowing  the  use  of  the  name. 

On  May  7,  1915,  a  new  charter  under  the  changed  name  was  obtained 
from  the  state  legislature.  The  signers  of  the  application  for  a  charter  were 
Doctors  Sadie  Bay  Adair,  Clara  P.  Seippel,  Blanche  A.  Burgner,  Lena  K. 
Sadler,  Pauline  R.  K.apsa  and  Julia  C.  Strawn.  These  women,  with  Doc- 
tors Mary  J.  Kearsley,  G.  Durbin  Ries,  Mary  Best  Newell  and  Mary  W. 
Paulson,  constituted  the  board  of  directors  of  the  club  during  the  first  year 
of  its  corporate  existence. 

With  a  membership  of  200  at  present,  the  club  is  said  to  be  the  largest 
organization  of  women  physicians  in  the  world. 

The  presidents  of  the  club  from  the  beginning,  with  the  years  of  their 
election,  have  been  the  following  doctors : 

Sarah  Hackett  Stevenson 1903  Effie   L.   Lodbell    1913

SOCIETY  OF  MEDICAL  HISTORY  OF  CHICAGO 
The  Society  of  Medical  History  of  Chicago  was  organized  during  the 
summer  of  1909,  and  its  constitution  adopted  November  5,  1909.  As  stated 
in  its  constitution,  its  purpose  "shall  be  to  secure  and  preserve  matters 
pertaining  to  the  history  of  medical  institutions,  organizations  and  individ- 
uals, particularly  of  Chicago  and  the  adjacent  country ;  and  to  stimulate  in- 
terest in  medical  history  in  general."  Meetings  have  been  held  at  irregular 
intervals,  at  which  papers  have  been  presented  by  guests  from  outside  of 
Chicago  and  by  Chicago  guests  and  members. 

A  considerable  collection  of  historic  material  has  been  accumulated  by  the 
society.  The  Bulletin,  printed  by  the  society,  has  appeared  in  parts  and  two 
volumes  are  nearly  completed. 

The  presidents  of  the  society  since  its  organization,  in  the  order  in  which 
they  served,  have  been  Doctors  Isaac  N.  Danforth,  Daniel  T.  Nelson,  Wil- 
liam E.  Quine,  Harold  N.  Moyer  and  James  B.  Herrick.

CHICAGO    SOCIETY    OF    INTERNAL    MEDICINE 

The  Chicago  Society  of  Internal  Medicine  was  organized  on  January  8,  1915, 
with  the  avowed  purpose  of  cultivating  the  theory  and  practice  of  medicine 
with  special  reference  to  internal  medicine. 

The  need  of  such  a  society  in  Chicago  had  long  been  felt.  A  group  of 
twenty  internists  under  the  leadership  of  Dr.  James  B.  Herrick  and  Dr. 
Robert  B.  Preble  were  instrumental  in  perfecting  the  organization  which 
during  seven  years  seems  to  have  fully  justified  its  existence.  Dr.  James  B. 
Herrick,  Dr.  Robert  B.  Preble,  Dr.  Joseph  A.  Capps,  Dr.  Joseph  L.  Miller 
and  Dr.  Charles  A.  Elliott  have  served  as  presidents  of  the  society.  Dr.  N.  C. 
Gilbert  is  the  present  secretary. 

Membership  is  limited  to  physicians  of  Chicago  and  vicinity  who  specialize 
in  internal  medicine  and  who,  in  addition,  have  carried  on  original  investiga- 
tive work,  or  have  presented  acceptable  theses.  In  addition  to  honorary  and 
nonresident  members,  there  are,  at  present,  ninety  active  members. 

Meetings  have  been  held  on  the  fourth  Monday  of  each  month,  October  to 
May  inclusive,  except  for  a  short  period  during  the  World  War.  Programs 
have  included  results  of  investigation  in  the  allied  sciences  as  well  as  prob- 
lems confined  to  internal  medicine.  An  important  function  of  the  society 
has  been  its  service  as  a  forum  for  the  presentation  of  results  of  clinical 
research,  together  with  investigations  in  the  fundamental  sciences  that  have 
a  direct  bearing  on  the  problems  of  internal  medicine.  Another  function  has 
been  the  contact  provided  with  mutual  benefit  between  laboratory  workers 
more  or  less  isolated  from  the  field  of  practical  medicine  and  clinical  workers. 
Investigators  from  many  universities  have  contributed  to  the  programs  of 
the  society. 

INSTITUTE     OF    MEDICINE    OF     CHICAGO 

The  Institute  of  Medicine  of  Chicago  was  organized  April  22,  1915,  when 
the  first  board  of  governors  was  elected. 

The  reasons  that  led  to  the  foundation  of  the  institute  were,  in  the  main, 
the  following: 

1 — Progress  and  development  demand  new  departures  and  special  efforts 
to  meet  changing  conditions.  As  elsewhere,  medicine  had  made  rapid  and 
remarkable  progress  in  Chicago.  The  fundamental  medical  departments  of 
three  universities  had  become  manned  by  full-time  teachers  and  assistants, 
and  hospitals  and  other  institutions  furnished  a  second  quota  of  paid  medical 
workers,  whereas  twenty-five  years  previously  the  only  paid  medical  pre- 
ceptors in  Chicago  were  the  teachers  of  chemistry.  As  to  laboratories,  other 
than  chemical,  there  were  only  the  crudest  beginnings.  The  growth  of  clinical 
facilities  and  the  advance  in  the  teaching  of  practical  medicine  had  been  no 
less  rapid  and  remarkable,  the  crowning  features  of  this  general  progress 
being  contributions  to  medical  knowledge  from  representatives  of  all  the 
different  branches  of  medicine  and  an  increasing  interest  in  the  promotion  of 
medical  study  and  research.  There  was,  then,  need  of  a  society  whose  aim  it 
should  be  to  bring  workers  in  the  different  fields  into  closer  cooperation. 
The  seekers  after  new  and  better  things  in  the  separate,  yet  closely  inter- 
dependent lines  of  clinical  work  needed  closer  contact,  better  understanding 
and  more  effective  cooperation. 

2 — Need  for  a  permanent  medical  home  in  Chicago.  In  older  cities  the 
organized  activities  of  the  medical  profession  center  in  suitable  buildings  in 


370  HISTORY  OF  MEDICINE  AND  SURGERY  IN  CHICAGO 

which  meetings  are  held  and  libraries  and  other  collections  housed.  Institu- 
tions of  this  kind,  for  reasons  of  utility  as  well  as  sentiment,  attract  gifts  of 
money  for  buildings  as  well  as  endowments  for  various  purposes.  In  Chi- 
cago, at  the  time  in  question,  there  was  nothing  of  this  sort,  not  even  a 
beginning.  The  medical  societies  flitted  about  from  place  to  place  and  not 
one  had  a  properly  equipped,  permanent  place  of  meeting.  The  feeling  that 
the  time  had  come  when  definite  steps  toward  improving  these  conditions  in 
Chicago  by  a  permanent,  properly  constituted  body  was  the  second,  and 
perhaps  the  main,  consideration  that  led  to  the  founding  of  the  Institute  of 
Medicine.  At  all  events,  it  was  mainly  on  account  of  this  second  purpose 
that  the  particular  type  of  organization  selected  was  chosen  and  dues  set  high 
so  that  funds  would  accumulate.  History  shows  that  undertakings  of  this 
kind  may  receive  liberal  support  from  persons  outside  the  medical  profession, 
but,  obviously,  if  success  is  to  be  achieved,  the  enterprise  must  originate 
within  and  receive  the  continuous  support  of  members  of  the  profession. 
Hence  the  placing  on  the  institute  the  task  of  home-finding  carried  with  it  a 
degree  of  sacrifice  on  the  part  of  its  fellows. 

In  furtherance  of  the  first  named  object,  the  institute  has  endeavored  to 
present  to  its  members,  and  to  all  others  who  desire  to  attend  its  meetings, 
subjects  of  general  medical,  scientific,  sociologic  and  historic  interest.  This 
has  been  done  through  the  medium  of  addresses  and  discussions  by  persons 
of  authority  in  their  special  fields.  The  institute  has  been  honored  by  having 
as  guests  at  its  meetings  or  dinners  a  number  of  noted  visitors  from  foreign 
lands.  One  meeting  each  year  has,  been  devoted  to  the  presentation  of  the 
results  of  investigative  work  by  the  younger  generation  of  the  city. 

The  transactions  are  published  in  full  in  the  Proceedings  of  the  Institute  of 
Medicine  of  Chicago,  three  volumes  of  which  have  been  issued,  and  copies  of 
which  are  sent  without  charge  to  a  number  of  medical  libraries. 

Through  the  beneficence  of  an  unnamed  donor,  the  institute  has  established 
an  annual  lecture,  known  as  the  Pasteur  Lecture.  The  Pasteur  Lecturer  in 
1920  was  Professor  Graham  Lusk,  and  in  1921,  Dr.  Theobald  Smith. 

Joint  meetings  with  some  of  the  special  societies  are  held,  as  occasion 
offers,  and  it  is  the  policy  of  the  institute  to  encourage  a  close  relation  of 
special  societies  without,  however,  interfering  in  any  way  with  their  special 
functions  or  autonomy.  It  is  believed  that  such  co-operation  may  be  a  large 
factor  in  the  promotion  of  medical  study  and  research,  and  in  establishing 
high  ideals  in  medicine. 

The  second  object  of  the  institute,  that  cf  obtaining  a  permanent  medical 
home,  which  should  accommodate  other  medical  societies  as  well,  and  thus 
tend  to  centralize  and  unify  medical  interests  in  this  community,  has  not  yet 
been  attained.  Much  effort  has  been  made  and  several  plans  have  been  enter- 
tained, but  they  have  been  held  in  abeyance  largely  because  they  were  too 
limited  in  scope.  Larger  plans  await  a  more  favorable  time  for  their  execu- 
tion. The  invested  assets  of  the  institute  now  constitute  a  respectable  sum 
that  is  growing  steadily. 

The  membership  of  the  institute  of  Medicine  has  grown  continually.  There 
are  now  240  fellows.  The  first  president  of  the  institute  was  Dr.  William  E. 
Quine  (1916).  Succeeding  presidents  have  been  Dr.  John  H.  Long,  1917; 
Prof.  Julius  Stieglitz,  1918;  Dr.  Hugh  T.  Patrick,  1919;  Dr.  Thomas  L.  Gil- 
mer,  1920;  Dr.  George  H.  Simmons,  1921,  and  Dr.  Frank  Billings,  1922.  The 
present  secretary  is  Dr.  Ernest  E.  Irons.

CHICAGO     SOCIETY     OF    INDUSTRIAL 

MEDICINE    AND    SURGERY 

In  April,  1920  fifty-eight  doctors  specializing  in  industrial  medicine  and 
surgery  met  to  consider  the  organization  of  a  society.  A  preliminary  organi- 
zation was  effected  and  on  November  1  following  the  first  regular  meeting 
was  held.  Dr.  Clarence  W.  Hopkins  was  elected  president;  Dr.  George  D. 
J.  Griffin,  vice-president ;  and  Dr.  Horace  C.  Lyman,  secretary-treasurer. 
Shortly  afterward  the  Chicago  Society  of  Industrial  Medicine  and  Surgery, 
the  name  adopted  for  the  organization,  became  affiliated  with  the  Chicago 
Medical  Society. 

The  purpose  of  the  society,  as  stated  in  its  by-laws,  is : 

"To  promote  the  art  and  science  of  industrial  medicine  and  surgery. 
Contributing  to  this  end  it  shall  endeavor  to  bring  into  one  organization  the 
industrial  physicians  and  surgeons  of  Cook  county,  so  that  by  frequent  meet- 
ings and  full  and  frank  interchange  of  views  they  may  secure  such  intelli- 
gent unity  and  harmony  in  every  phase  of  their  labor  as  will  elevate  and 
make  effective  opinions  of  those  members  of  the  profession  who  are  engaged 
in  this  specialty,  in  all  scientific,  legislative,  public  health,  and  material  af- 
fairs ;  to  encourage  research,  to  safeguard  the  material  interests  of  its  mem- 
bers ;  to  settle  differences  and,  with  other  affiliated  Societies,  to  promote  the 
interests  of  the  Chicago  Medical  Society." 

Any  member  of  the  Chicago  Medical  Society  engaged  in  the  specialty  of  in- 
dustrial medicine  and  surgery  is  eligible  to  apply  for  membership,  although 
the  rules  provide  that  he  should  be  able  to  show  the  board  of  governors  that 
at  least  fifty  per  cent  of  his  work  is  of  an  industrial  character. 

Monthly  meetings  are  held,  at  which  papers  relating  to  topics  of  especial 
interest  to  those  engaged  in  industrial  medicine  and  surgery  are  read  by 
members  and  non-members.  The  roster  now  includes  the  names  of  one 
hundred  physicians  and  surgeons  in  Chicago  and  its  suburbs.  The  officers 
of  the  society  at  present  are  Dr.  Frederick  A.  Fisher,  president,  and  Dr. 
Horace  C.  Lyman,  secretary. 


THE  OATH  OF  HIPPOCRATES 


I  swear  by  Apollo  the  physician  and  Mscu- 
lapius,  and  Health,  and  All-Heal,  and  all  the 
gods  and  goddesses,  that,  according  to  my  ability 
and  judgment,  I  will  keep  this  Oath  and  this 
stipulation — to  reckon  him  who  taught  me  this 
Art  equally  dear  to  me  as  my  parents,  to  share 
my  substance  with  him,  and  relieve  his  necessi- 
ties if  required;  to  look  upon  his  offspring  in  the 
same  footing  as  my  own  brothers,  and  to  teach 
them  this  art,  if  they  shall  wish  to  learn  it,  with- 
out fee  or  stipulation;  and  that  by  precept,  lec- 
ture, and  every  other  mode  of  instruction,  I  will 
impart  a  knowledge  of  the  Art  to  my  own  sons, 
and  those  of  my  teachers,  and  to  disciples  bound 
by  a  stipulation  and  oath  according  to  the  law 
of  medicine,  but  to  none  others. 

I  will  follow  that  system  of  regimen  which, 
according  to  my  ability  and  judgment,  I  con- 
sider for  the  benefit  of  my  patients,  and  abstain 
from  whatever  is  deleterious  and  michievous.  I 
will  give  no  deadly  medicine  to  any  one  if  asked, 
nor  suggest  any  such  counsel;  and  in  like  man- 
ner I  will  not  give  to  a  woman  a  pessary  to  pro- 
duce abortion.  With  purity  and  with  holiness  I 
will  pass  my  life  and  practice  my  Art.  I  will  not 
cut  persons  labouring  under  the  stone,  but  will 
leave  this  to  be  done  by  men  who  are  practi- 
tioners of  this  work.  Into  whatever  houses  I 
enter,  I  will  go  into  them  for  the  benefit  of  the 
sick,  and  will  abstain  from  every  voluntary  act 
of  mischief  and  corruption;  and,  further,  from 
the  seduction  of  females  or  males,  of  freemen 
and  slaves. 

Whatever,  in  connection  with  my  professional 
practice,  or  not  in  connection  with  it,  I  see  or 
hear,  in  the  life  of  men,  which  ought  not  to  be 
spoken  of  abroad,  I  will  not  divulge,  as  reckon- 
ing that  all  such  should  be  kept  secret.  While  I 
continue  to  keep  this  Oath  unviolated,  may  it  be 
granted  to  me  to  enjoy  life  and  the  practice  of 
the  art,  respected  by  all  men,  in  all  times.  But 
should  I  trespass  and  violate  this  Oath,  may  the 
reverse  be  my  lot.
